"I looked at the vodka space, and it looked kind of boring compared to tequila,... Vodka was a wide-open field. ... I wanted to bring a little bit of an action movie pizzazz."
"After complaining for a while, [my future wife] said, 'Why don't you make your own?' Not willing to back down from a challenge, Lundgren accepted Emma Krokdal's dare."
"The final product, awarded Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2024, featured bright notes of fennel, green apple and just a bit of butterscotch."
"...people drink a lot of vodka in Sweden because it's cold and dark there in the winter."
Dolph Lundgren, known for his role as Ivan Drago in "Rocky", has ventured into vodka production with Hard Cut Vodka, a 90-proof spirit crafted from Idaho potatoes and water sourced from the Rocky Mountains. The idea stemmed from a date night with his future wife, Emma Krokdal, where they couldn't find a vodka they enjoyed. Lundgren, who has a background in chemical engineering, decided to create his own. After finding the right distillery, they produced a vodka with bright notes that won a Double Gold award in 2024.
