Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka was first distilled in the 15th century. At that time, Polish nobility infused their vodka with a single blade of bison grass. This was done primarily to enhance its flavor, but it was believed to offer much more.
Bison grass was regarded as a precious herb, thought to strengthen and energize the mighty European bison. That strength, drawn directly from the ancient forest, was said to connect the drinker to the grandeur and raw power of nature itself.
The Legacy of Żubrówka Bison Grass
More than 500 years ago in Podlasie, at the heart of the legendary Białowieża Forest, this tradition was born. Home to over 800 European bison, the forest is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the last remaining primeval forest in Europe.
Bison grass, sometimes referred to as “holy sweet grass”, gives Żubrówka its distinctive and unmistakable character. It releases a rich almond-like aroma and a subtle, naturally sweet complexity. The legend of the grass’s strength and vitality continues to be passed on through every sip.
Żubrówka is the world’s original flavored vodka and remains the global leader in its category, carefully preserving its traditional recipe through generations.
All ingredients used in the distillation process are rigorously tested for quality, purity, and authenticity.
