I was reading all of the comments, hoping that I wasn’t crazy and that someone had the same thought as me. Although a lot of people agree that the plastic bottle has a strange taste, no one mentioned that it has a slight taste of tequila to it, as is the taste I am getting from it. It’s quite disappointing to me too. I thought it was in my head the first time I bought the bottle, but tonight, my thoughts about it were confirmed. I don’t think I will buy it again.

I have been enjoying the Fris Vodka for several months. I highly recommended it. But now I can’t endorse it in the new plastic bottle.
I tried my first plastic bottle Fris product and I can’t even drink it, it’s so bad. Something is altering the taste in the plastic bottle container. It’s not that clean smooth taste I still get in the glass container
Has anyone else noticed the taste change in the plastic bottle that isn’t in the glass bottle product???

Fris is my new favorite vodka by a considerable margin, Previous vodkas I have enjoyed ranked from least to most favorable include Boru, Tenure, Sobieski, Luksusowa, Prairie Organic, Russian Standard…I rank Fris even above Prairie and Russian Standard. This is saying ALOT considering I’d give Prairie and Russian Standard a 9/10. Fris has managed to get a 10/10 from me. Best vodka on planet earth I’ve tried.

Friz startled me at the initial gulp (i gulp, yes). I was surprised at the fact that it didn’t leave such a burning feeling in me like most vodkas do. I was overcome by joy when I took the next gulp and realized this was no mind game or grand illusion. I am in love. The only vodka I drink now and I never have to hear my friends talking about Circoc this, New Amsterdam that, Grey Goose blah blah. They all happily drink Friz and never heard one complaint about a hangover. Wish I could freeze distill my life lol.

I liked Frïs it was recommended to me by a friend and goes down super smooth one of my top 10 Vodkas and the price in Utah is more around $22 for 750ml but worth it. I enjoy Vodka on ice and this has no after burn or gas taste. Give it a try if its in your store.

I like to think of myself as one who truly enjoys a good vodka. I’m sorry to say this, for the horribly irresponsible nature of it, but I believe the benchmark of a great vodka is how it affects one who has over-indulged. Now I will note that Fris was pleasantly smooth. And as has been previously commented, it’s burn was quickly replaced by a comfortable burst of warmth in my body. I found that (as per the label) the mouthfeel was astonishingly mellow, another benchmark of a great vodka. I’ve observed over the years that if you can’t easily hold it in your mouth, you can’t easily hold it in your belly. Which leads me to my final point: over indulgence. Other vodkas in this same price range tend to sour my stomach for most of the next day after consuming a little too much. Fris is what you could call a weeknight liquor. If you’re into that. So in summary and in conclusion, easy going down, fast, clean, and smooth. An amazing value.

my wife is the fris drinker so i drink it to retired saves money. in the glass bottle i liked it smooth good taste. since the switch taste harsh like grain alcohol . trying to get my wife to change her drink.

After some careful research and beings that I work for a liquor store I found out why it is so smooth. Where as normal heat distillation heats the mash ( or wart ) to between 173 and 212 degrees and then collects the gas into liquid form as alcohol it leaves behind fusal alcohols ( that burn taste ), basically impurities…now Fris traps those fusal alcohols by freeze distillation, pulls them out leaving a pure spirit free of harsh impurities. I love this vodka…quite possibly my favorite.

I really love Fris vodka. Is Fris vodka glutin free?

I have my first bottle of Fris Vodka and it hasn’t been opened yet. It looks like there are small particles inside the bottle floating around. Looks like bits of plastic, glass or fibers of some sort. Does this sound normal???

As I began drinking Frïs I was fine and pleasantly surprised with the smooth taste. But as I continued to drink, a change occurred; my brain began to revolt against itself, causing mass confusion of my morals, fine motor skills, and least of all my sexuality. I would recommend this Vodka to anyone that is curious as to what the inside of the inside of a black hole looks like. 5 out of 5 stars; would drink again.

Not the best vodka, plastic bottles suck anyways no matter what liquor it is. I found my experience with fris was ok didn’t get me to the level I wanted to be at but for Scandinavia or (invented in Scandinavia) it wasn’t bad still rate this a one out of five might try again someday but as of now I’ll keep shopping

Bad vodka. I took a chance on it given the early good reviews. Blech.

Four stars in a glass bottle.
Two stars in a plastic bottle.

The glass bottled Fris is remarkably clean-tasting, with a slight menthol bite. It’s best in a martini with a twist, or in a vodka tonic. The plastic bottled Fris should be decanted so the plastic taste (that’s what everyone is tasting) can evaporate.

LIKE YOUR PRODUCT VERY MUCH, BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH PLASTIC BOTTLE. DOES AFFECT THE TASTE.TASTE AS GOOD AS MY OLD FAVORITE FINLANDIA BUT MUCH CHEAPER.

So disappointed this is now only in plastic. Taste different in plastic. Hopefully they switch back to glass or I won’t be buying this again. Glass is much better for the flavor. I do not buy any alcohol in plastic

OK,what are you doing.I’ve been drinking Fris for 4 yrs.Now i can’t find it at my stores.One store said you were making a new bottle.It did’nt stop me from buying vodka last time you change your bottle.So what is up? Parker

*Fris* wow!! Definitely at the top of my list of vodkas! There’s hardly no harshbess and the overall taste and quality is superb! Unlike many well known and expensive vodkas, Fris offers great taste, quality distillation and not to sound cliche, ” THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!” On a scale of 1-10, Fris is definitely an 8 or above in my book. So to all of the real vodka drinkers that haven’t tried Fris, what are you waiting for? Hop on the boat and enjoy a great drinking experience!

I tested several people including myself, couldn’t tell the difference between Fris and Grey Goose

I got a bottle of it and it has been a part of many fun times, for someone who really doesn’t like the burn of alcohol this was very pleasant to drink, and well it gets you tipsy that’s the idea right? lol

I also enjoy Fris. My friends drink Taaka and since I introduced them to Fris, they have been buying it ever since. I would like to see more insight into the production process. It says Fris is freeze distilled and continually 6 colum processed. What exactly does this mean? and how does this affect the final product as compared to other vodkas? Email me directly if you like.

One of the best tasting vodkas I’ve had for any price. Smooth, crisp, and yet you still know you are drinking a vodka. I tried this eight years ago after reading an article in United Airlines in flight magazine, and it was rated their #1 vodka regardless of price. I am NEVER disappointed with Fris. The price is just the icing on the cake!

Just bought a 1.75 liter bottle in Portland (Woodstock liquor) for $19.95. Great deal, very drinkable! I always mix my vodka (right now with sweet tea!) and this is awesome for that purpose.

Being limited on my Vodka knowledge (thought smirnoff was excellent for who knows how many liters) I make a jump to Stoli and that changed my world. I don’t think I will ever try it again after seeing Fris as a choice on the shelf. I have tried Popov and Aristocrat so I definitely know the bottom end vs Stoli. As for Fris I perfer to mix my vodka’s 50/50 with white grape juice. Fris was so dirt cheap I was expecting the worst but after the first half of my glass it was clear this vodka was on par with above average players. I’m not sure what burn is being experienced by the reviewer but it was prevalent in SToli and smirnoff, this on the other hand does not burn me. It is insanely smooth but does leave some sort of aftertaste but compared to the $9 it cost me for 750ml I don’t give a …..

Price is next to free
Taste is great
Try it.

I recently had the opportunity to try Fris. Initially this vodka was fairly smooth. Some minor bitternes that faded quickly and a small amount of burn. It mixed well with cranberry and or orange juice (together or separate). Then I tried it in an appletini… The bitterness of the vodka was overpowering. I could easily taste the bitthernes of the vodka over the apple puker and the swet and sour. Fris is an alright vodka. for a simple mix, but I would not use it fot coctails.

I really agree with your assessment on Fris. I bought a 1.75 Liter of this after proclaiming Svedka was my new favorite. There was no doubt that the Fris had a little more body (or bitterness) in the mouth, and I agree with your observation that it goes down smooth. I was not crazy with the idea that it’s made from wheat. I don’t think it’s quite as clean and smooth as Svedka, yet it makes a very enjoyable martini. I can’t get myself to admit that’ I won’t ever buy it again.

I tried Fris and loved it. Will never purchase Kettle or Stoli again. Great vodka, great price.

I tied this stuff at your suggestion and I was blown away. I actually prefer it to the more premium stuff I’ve had. It burns for a second then that burn is replaced by a sort of happy warmth in my chest. This is the only vodka that’s ever done that for me.

I just bought a 1.75 Liter bottle for around 19 bucks, which seems to be a steal, I’ve never tried Fris before but recognized the name, and for the price, decided to give it a go. So-Far so good, I tried a mixed drink with it and love it so far, I’ll write more after I try a shot.

I just bought a bottle of Fris and think it tastes great. Top notch vodka for the $20 1.75 liter price range. My wife is the vodka person, I usually drink Bourbon/Whiskey. I think she will be as pleased as I am. If anyone wants a low calorie vodka drink, mix it with propel zero. Cheers Everyone

almost matches Tito’s at half the price.
Tito’s is still my favorite. “almost” means
O.Bloom almost matches M.Damon.
