The origins of this traditional vodka lie in the Białowieża Forest in Poland, whose territory is today referred to as the last virgin forest in Europe. It is home to the last wild European bison (so-called wisents), which give the vodka its name.

In addition to these rare creatures, the forest mainly produces bison grass, which is crucial to the production and taste of Zubrowka and has been involved in vodka production for more than 500 years. The grass is collected by about 21 local families by hand and dried in a complex process at 25 degrees in small wooden houses. So it not only retains its natural aroma, but also its strong color. From the bison grass, an extract is then extracted, which is aged for 2 months in oak barrels and is later added to the distilled vodka.

Rye forms the base of the vodka, which is distilled six times in the traditional Bialystok Distillery and reduced with naturally demineralized water from a local source. After adding the bison grass extract to the vodka, each filled bottle is decorated with a bison grass blade, which gives the vodka its trademark.

Zubrowka has a fine, fragrant aroma of buffalo grass, vanilla and spring flowers and shows fresh notes of herbs, lavender, jasmine tea, citrus fruits and a hint of tobacco. On the finish it is soft and has a rich aroma.
