This iconic spirit, produced by Polmos Białystok since the 16th century, uses neutral rye or grain vodka macerated with bison grass—a single blade of which is hand-placed in each bottle for ongoing flavor infusion. The grass imparts a pale yellow-green hue and subtle herbal sweetness, setting it apart from oak-aged whiskies like Glenrothes or rum like Bacardi Ocho.
Flavor Profile: Nose of fresh-cut grass, vanilla, almond, lavender, and mild spice; palate blends herbal sweetness, citrus peel, honey, and gentle pepper with a floral, lingering finish.
Serving: Chilled neat, with apple juice (classic "Żubrówka z jabłkiem"), or in cocktails; smoother and more aromatic than plain vodka or anise-forward ouzo.
