Identifying Features
The bottle has some interesting angles that cut from bottom front to top back. Vikingfjord is written vertically up the front of the bottle.
On The Bottle
Vikingfjord vodka comes from Norway, where quality and excellence are a way of life. Following a time honoured, authentic vodka recipe, this carefully six column distilled vodka is made from potatoes. Every drop is then expertly blended with 100% smooth, crystal clear water from the pristine Jostedal glacier of Arctic Norway.
Review
I've seen Vikingfjord for a long time but I never bothered to pick it up. I decided to give the vodka a taste. This is the first vodka from Norway I've tried. It is a potato vodka, though, which I've traditionally enjoyed.
The Shot
Vikinfjord is bitter up front and stays bitter on the pallet even after the swallow. It burns a bit on the way down. While I could get by without a chaser, it's really nice to have one.
The Mixed Drink
I mixed Vikingfjord with Strawberry Breeze, a Welch's flavor. There are some moderate bitter flavors from the vodka that come through the sweet mixer. After swallowing the drink, the bitters stick around on my pallet. It's not a good sign when I want a chaser for my cocktail. This is a typical response for a vodka in this price range, however. It may pass in a club situation, but it isn't great for casual drinking.
Opinions
Vikingfjord is a decent entry in the lower midrange. For the price, however, there are better vodkas for the price like Sobieski.
