I have to disagree with this rating…I’ve tried a lot of vodkas, from the bottom to the top shelf. Cheap Popov or Gran Legacy in college to Grey Goose…and Viking Fjord is smooth without a bite or bitter taste…Maybe I’ve numbed my tastebuds from years of vodka drinking, but I’ve switched to VF from my usual Smirnoff/Stoli…This is a good vodka

I had to comment on the comment that “Sobieski” is a better Vodka than “Viking Fjord”. I like Viking Fjord because unlike MOST vodka [including more expensive Yuppie Vodka, I find Viking Fjord to be very smooth. When I read the comment that “Sobieski” was a better Vodka in the price range, I had to go try it. Well Sobieski tastes JUST as brutal as the Yuppie brands, but it IS cheaper than the yuppie brands, but the reason I always enjoyed Viking Fjord was because it was cheaper AND SMOOTHER.
If you HAVE to have a HARSH vodka, then by ALL MEANS buy “Sobieski”.
I’ll stick with the smooth tingle Viking Fjord, and save my money, AND my throat!

Very smooth. At a reasonable price. I hate ot wont be sold in US anymore. It is my favorite.

Exceptionally clean nose, smooth, no burn or aftertaste going down. Smoothest best value vodka I can find here in Texas. 1.75 liter costs only $14 here. Better as a mixer than a martini sipper.

I don’t know how this is rated so low. At less than $20 a handle everywhere I’ve shopped, this is by far the best vodka for the mid price range. Better than Smirnoff, Svedka, Select, Imperia, and Glacier. Goes down smooth if chilled and perfectly fine mixed.

This vodka surprised the he ll out of me. I didn’t expect much and was blown away by its incredible taste and ease going down. I was also surprised by the review. Over the last year I’ve taken a liking to vodka and have frequented this website as an authority on the topic. This is the first review I disagree with. While this isn’t my favorite potatoe vodka, it’s very near Chopin and Luksusowa. I’m not sure why Sobieski is being compared to this vodka either. There is really no comparison and both are amazing libations in there own right.

i recently purchased a bottle of VF since my standard mixed vodka Smirnoff comes in a plastic bottle now (at least, in the 1.75l variety). I was pleasantly surprised at this particular brand; little to no bite when sipped straight at room temperature and almost had a thick, creamy feel on the palate. I like it.

Now, I’m not going to say I’m a huge connoisseur of vodkas; my experience is somewhat limited but I do know what I like, and I like this one. I’m going to go on record and say that I respectfully disagree with this review.

Certainly not the finest vodka in the world, but definitely a fine choice at this price range.

After going Bulletproof for my way of eating, I was looking for a potato based vodka. While there are more expensive choices, I love VF for the taste, the price and fewer after-effects than grain-based alcohol! Highly recommend!

I have been a big fan of Sevdka and then Sobieski. The local liquor store had a special on Vikingsfiord. Buy a case (6 bottles) for 80 and get $75 in mail in rebates. Jeeze, a whole case for $5, how can you go wrong. Well, we had no problems with the taste, and the price was right so this became our vodka of choice.

My wife has an alergy to wheat so we went on a potato vodka hunt. At one point we had 8 or 9 bottles going and taste tested with friends as well. Viking Fjord came out way on top and, for the price, could not be beat! We buy it by the case and pay $16.20 for 1.5L.

Great potato vodka! Soft, creamy, no rough edges whatsoever. The other potato vodka in the same range, Luksosova, is quite good too, but not nearly as ‘clean’ on the palate. None of the alcohol burn you’d expect from anything in this price range also. I taste just a hint of vanilla and marshmallow, but not in the sweet cloying manner of artificially flavored American vodkas. I don’t understand the comparisons to grain vodkas like Sobieski or Smirnoff, Pinnacle,etc., un-aged grain spirit is, in my opinion, like drinking cold broken glass. VikingFjord, on the other hand, is quite a pleasure! Smooth as a neat sipper and makes the best Caucasian ever. As far as potato vodka goes, unless you’ve got the change to spend triple on Chopin, I’d recommend VF any day.

This vodka is very smoothed when mixed with drinks, for it’s price range I would consider it good.

The black version (Viking Fjord) is one of the best in the marked, i bought a bottle of this on a trip to Norway. 5 stars

Great Vodka for mixing! Even at fridge temp absolutely no detectable flavor and very little bite.

I enjoy Titos Handmade quite a bit. So, I wasn’t expecting much from this Vodka. I was pleasantly surprised by the smoothness and the flavor. I bought Viking Fjord and just figured it would be like Sobieski potato vodka, which to me is too sharp, burns and not worth spending hard earned money on. Viking Fjord is actually pretty smooth and flavorful. The price is very decent for the quality of the Vodka. I have recommended this Vodka to my friends because of the taste and quality. Granted, its not Titos or Bombora quality but, it is the best potato Vodka I have tasted. Thumbs up for Viking Fjord

this is not a crap vodka like Pinnacle, etc. but quite forgettable, there are better choices even at this price range

Good, not great. I know that Vikingfjord is relatively affordable, but there are better ones for less money. As a martini drinker, Vikingfjord doesn’t go down as smooth as I’d like. It’s probably no better than the Ruskova that I pay $14-$15 for a 1.75 liter bottle.
