The Reid Single Malt Vodka challenges vodka convention from New Zealand's remote Cardrona Valley, applying whisky-making tradition to vodka production. This female-founded and led distillery craft their vodka from just three ingredients—malted barley, Cardrona Alpine Water, and distillers yeast—then employ traditional copper pot still and German column still distillation to achieve remarkable finesse rare in the category. The production philosophy honors whisky-making tradition while delivering vodka purity: malt-forward, mineral-driven, and expressive of New Zealand terroir. On the nose, The Reid reveals delicate nuances of pear drops, lemon, toffee, and malt biscuits—complexity rarely found in neutral spirits. Gold medal winner at the World's Best 50 International Awards in New York, this vodka proves that thoughtful craftsmanship and genuine ingredients matter, even in a category often defined by neutrality.

More about The Reid

The Reid challenges what vodka can be. Handmade from malted barley in the Cardrona Valley of New Zealand's South Island by master distiller Sarah Elsom, it's a single-malt spirit that ferments for over 70 hours, chilled neither brutally nor filtered into oblivion. It tastes like pear drops, lemon, toffee, malt—a spirit with backbone and personality. Gold at the World's Best 50 International Awards, and expanding to the US for good reason.
