Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka is a Vodka hailing from Poland.

What is Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka?

Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka is a unique Polish spirit flavored with a rare grass that grows in the Białowieża Forest, one of Europe's last remaining primeval woodlands. Interestingly, this vodka contains coumarin, a mildly toxic compound found in the bison grass, which is banned as a food additive in the United States - but don't worry, the amount in Zubrowka is too small to cause harm and instead imparts a distinctive vanilla-like flavor and aroma to the spirit.

Why do we love Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka?

Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka stands out with its distinctive herbaceous flavor, derived from a single blade of bison grass added to each bottle. This centuries-old Polish vodka boasts a natural sweetness and vanilla notes, along with a subtle green tint, making it an exceptional base for cocktails that crave a touch of aromatic complexity.

How do you drink Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka?

Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka shines when sipped neat or on the rocks, allowing its unique herbal notes to take center stage. It also excels in refreshing summer cocktails, particularly those featuring apple juice or citrus, and pairs wonderfully with hearty Polish dishes like pierogi or smoked meats, making it a versatile choice for both warm-weather gatherings and cozy winter evenings.

Nose: Fresh-cut hay and sweet grass dominate, accompanied by subtle vanilla and almond notes. A faint herbaceous aroma reminiscent of chamomile tea lingers in the background.

Palate: Smooth and creamy texture. The grass flavor is prominent but not overpowering, balanced by hints of vanilla custard and green apple. A slight peppery spice emerges mid-palate, along with a touch of citrus zest.

Finish: Medium-long finish with a warming sensation. The grassiness fades, leaving behind pleasant notes of toasted almonds and butter cookies. A subtle sweetness and lingering herbal quality round out the experience.

Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka is crafted by infusing rye vodka with a tincture of bison grass (Hierochloe odorata), a rare herb that grows in the ancient Bialowieza Forest of Poland. The production process involves hand-harvesting the grass during its brief summer growing season, then carefully drying and blending it with the vodka to impart its distinctive vanilla and almond-like flavors.

  • Żubrówka contains coumarin, a banned food additive in the US. To sell it stateside, the distillery created a coumarin-free version using different herbs to mimic the original's flavor profile.
  • Each bottle of Żubrówka contains a blade of bison grass, which is harvested by hand from the ancient Białowieża Forest, home to Europe's last remaining herd of wild bison.
  • In Poland, Żubrówka is traditionally served with apple juice in a cocktail called "Szarlotka," which translates to "apple pie" - mimicking the flavors of the beloved dessert in liquid form.
  • Main Ingredient: Rye
    Country of Origin: Poland

      You have to love it for what it is.

      The vodka seems to get a lot of hate, but as a sipping drink it is wonderful. I first had it in Poland and developed a taste for it. For the less adventurous, if you mix it with apple juice it will taste just like apple pie. I prefer it for sipping, however.
