The Reid Vodka

The world's best vodka lovingly distilled in the Cardrona Valley, Crown Range, New Zealand

20/07/2026

Last month, New Zealand stood tall on the world stage at the first ever MICHELIN Guide Restaurant Ceremony New Zealand 2026. It was a celebration of the talent, dedication and craft that has made New Zealand one of the most exciting places to eat and drink in the world.

We were honoured to be part of it, pouring a few of our favourite cocktails alongside some of the most spectacular food this country produces. The 03 Smash, created for the occasion by World Champion Bartender Harry Findlay, was a crowd favourite, along with The Reid martini, served with our signature three olives.

Congratulations to every chef, restaurateur and hospitality team recognised on the night!

Unhurried moments with good friends and The Reid Single Malt Vodka.

Modern vodka is often known for being tasteless, but it wasn’t always made this way. Traditional vodka had flavour and character, and The Reid takes its guide from these traditional styles.

The Reid is delicately nuanced, with notes of pear drops, lemon and toffee, beautifully complemented by the malted barley’s rich, biscuity character.
