Premium High-Proof Vodkas

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Dolph Lundgren Enters the Spirit Market with His Hard Cut Vodka Brand

— March 19, 2025 — Business
Hard Cut Vodka is a new premium spirit co-founded by action star Dolph Lundgren. The company enters the competitive vodka market with a bold and distinctive offering.

Hard Cut Vodka's 90-proof spirit is crafted from high-quality Idaho potatoes and Rocky Mountain water. The product is intended to stand out in a category that Lundgren and his team believe has become overly mild. The vodka’s flavor profile is a key differentiator, featuring notes of crisp green apple, fennel bulb, roasted potato, and butterscotch. Its high starch content from potato distillation contributes to a rich, creamy texture.

The brand’s name draws inspiration from the filmmaking term 'hard cut,' which reflects the venture's mission to push boundaries and deliver a product with strong character and a smooth finish. Hard Cut Vodka has already garnered recognition as it earned a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
