Distillery Notes
"'the reid' Vodka is made from three ingredients: barley, water and yeast. 'the reid' starts life in the same way as our Single Malt Whisky, giving fullness and body to this uncompromising Vodka. The Scottish two-row barley is milled and mixed with our Cardrona water and then fermented. It is then distilled in two 7.5 metre German column stills to over 95 percent alcohol. We then add back Cardrona water to bottle at a strength of 44 percent alcohol by volume."

"After opening in 2015, Cardrona Distillery in the Cardrona Valley has quickly made a name for itself in artisan spirits. Its range comprises vodka, gin and limited edition liqueurs. Presented in a striking droplet-shaped bottle, this vodka is made from a malted barley spirit base and twice distilled before it is blended with Cardrona alpine water. It is a rich, full-bodied vodka with a distinctive aroma of biscuit and banana on the nose. (The team at Cardrona refer
to the ‘banoffee pie’ character). This continues on the palate with a slight banana sweetness, a hint of caramel and a warming finish."
