Hard Cut Vodka is the American potato vodka created by actor and trained chemical engineer Dolph Lundgren, who set out to make a vodka smooth enough to sip on the rocks. It is distilled in Idaho from Idaho Russet potatoes and Rocky Mountain water, fermented for five days rather than the usual one or two, and cut to keep only the heart of each run before reverse-osmosis and fine filtration. It is bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
The potato base gives it a creamy, rounded mouthfeel with a slightly nutty character, light notes of apple and white pepper and a gentle earthiness, finishing smooth and clean for a vodka at 90 proof. It has taken Platinum at the 2025 L.A. Spirits Awards, Double Gold at the 2024 World Spirits Competition and Best of Class at the 2025 International Spirits Competition.
Keep a bottle in the freezer for sipping neat, or build Dolph's own 5:1 Martini, an espresso martini or a tall highball where the body carries through. It sits naturally alongside the other craft and celebrity-founded vodkas in our lineup. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
Potato vodka earns its place on a serious bar through texture, and this Idaho bottling leans into exactly that. Created by actor and trained chemical engineer Dolph Lundgren, it is distilled from Idaho Russet potatoes and Rocky Mountain water, fermented for five days, and cut to keep only the heart of each run before reverse-osmosis and fine filtration. In the glass you get a creamy, rounded body with a slightly nutty edge, light apple and white pepper, and a gentle earthiness, closing clean with a little warmth from the 90 proof. That combination makes it a strong pick for someone discovering how much character an unflavored vodka can carry, and a useful bottle for anyone who mixes Martinis and wants the spirit to show through. It took Platinum at the 2025 L.A. Spirits Awards and Double Gold at the 2024 World Spirits Competition. We carry it because it sips well straight from the freezer and still holds its own in an Espresso Martini or highball, alongside the other craft and celebrity-founded vodkas on our shelf.
Pairs well with
- Smoked salmon and caviar — The vodka's creamy, rounded texture and clean finish cut neatly through rich, briny fish and roe.
- Creamy cheese board — Its slightly nutty character and gentle earthiness echo soft, creamy cheeses without overwhelming them.
- Pre-dinner Martini hour — Stirred 5:1 with dry vermouth, its apple and white pepper notes make a crisp, savory opener alongside salty snacks.
