Hard Cut Vodka Review
Bottled at 45 percent ABV, Hard Cut is crafted from Idaho russet potatoes and filtered with Rocky Mountain water. Co-founded by married couple actor Dolph Lundgren and CEO Emma Krokdal, its nose is clean and inviting, while the palate offers a creamy mouthfeel and plenty of character. Mix it in spirit-forward classics like a Vodka Martini or Vesper to fully reap the benefits of its higher proof.
