Reyka Vodka — Icelandic Lava Rock Filtered

Aria Kim — Solid mixer that punches above its weight

7/10

Picked this up on a whim and it's become my go-to for cocktails. Clean, neutral nose with just a whisper of citrus peel. On the palate it's soft and round — none of that chemical burn you get from cheaper bottles. Makes a brilliant Martini and disappears beautifully into a Moscow Mule.

Marianne Blom — Exceptional smoothness

8/10

As someone who's been appreciating quality vodka for years, this is among the finest I've encountered at this price point. On the nose I get citrus — let it warm slightly in the glass and the aromas open up. The palate is where it really shines: Crisp and clean with a bright citrus edge with Lava rock filtration adds a unique smoothness. William Grant & Sons has clearly mastered their craft.

Daniel Torres — A standout bottle

10/10

Tried this side by side with several competitors at a tasting and it stands head and shoulders above them. The nose gives you a distinct mineral quality from Icelandic water — it's immediately apparent this is quality. Then the palate opens up with Crisp and clean with a bright citrus edge and the wheat character shines through. The Clean and refreshing with lingering mineral crispness. I've already ordered another bottle. Excellent work from William Grant & Sons.
