Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka
Herbal, smooth, and unmistakably Polish, Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka is crafted from 100% Polish rye and infused with the natural extract of Hierochloe odorata - the legendary bison grass of the Białowieża Forest.
Each bottle contains a single blade of grass, hand-harvested and dried to preserve its aromatic essence. The result is a vodka of soft vanilla sweetness, creamy texture, and fresh herbal notes - balanced, fragrant, and distinctively smooth. Bottled at 37.5% ABV, it’s both authentic and approachable.
With over five centuries of history, Żubrówka stands as a true icon of Polish distilling tradition - a spirit that embodies nature, craftsmanship, and timeless flavour.

NVDistinctive, aromatic, and deeply rooted in Polish tradition, Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka is one of the world’s most recognisable flavoured vodkas. Its defining ingredient — Hierochloe odorata, or bison grass — grows wild in the Białowieża Forest, one of Europe’s last primeval woodlands. The grass is hand-picked, dried, and used to infuse the vodka, imparting its signature notes of vanilla, almond, and sweet hay.
Made from 100% Polish rye, Żubrówka balances smooth, grain-rich vodka with the natural herbal sweetness of bison grass. Bottled at 37.5% ABV, it has a gentle golden hue and a delicate, aromatic profile that’s both refreshing and unique.
A spirit of legend and heritage, Żubrówka captures the essence of Poland’s wild landscapes — smooth, fragrant, and unmistakably original.
Produced by Polmos Białystok in northeastern Poland, Żubrówka traces its origins back over 500 years. The vodka’s name comes from the Polish word for the European bison (żubr), a symbol of strength and wilderness associated with the Białowieża Forest, where the sacred bison grass grows.
Each blade of grass is hand-harvested, dried, and steeped to create a natural extract used in blending the final spirit. This method has remained largely unchanged for centuries, reflecting the spirit’s deep connection to nature and Polish cultural heritage.
Today, Żubrówka remains one of Poland’s most exported spirits, enjoyed in over 80 countries — celebrated for its quality, authenticity, and the taste of true Polish wilderness.
