The roots of the Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka story reach to the Bialowieza Forest, located in the remote and mysterious land of North East Poland. Here grows the precious Bison grass, the natural ingredient so unique to Zubrowka.

Here also roam the rare and protected Bison from which Zubrowka takes its name.

Bison grass is picked by hand at the height of summer, carefully dried and then added as an extract to a luxury rye spirit, distilled in the time honoured way at the Bialystok distillery.

Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka can only be produced in Poland at the Bialystok distillery.

Floral, herbaceous, vanilla and spring flowers are just a few of the many descriptions for Zubrowka.

Review: I was introduced to Bison Grass Vodka by a very good friend of mine. I must admit this is the best vodka I have ever tasted and extremely moreish. Another good thing is that I have not received a hang-over on this vodka if I have had a little too much, probably because of its purity. Highly recommend. 10/10.

Review: My girlfriend loves this in "Polish Martini's" - 1 shot each of Zubrowka, Krupnik and Apple Juice. Have to admit myself this is a very nice vodka!

Review: I was given a bottle of this by a Polish chap who I worked with. Unbelievable Danish pastry taste when mixed with unsweetened apple juice, not met a person yet who I have not astonished with this mix. Neat is just as good,it was very warmly received by a good friend who drinks Grey Goose over ice - Very high praise indeed!

Review: A stunning vodka and one that seems to become ever more popular with each passing day. Once relegated to the daring, independent bars hidden on the backstreets of Britain's cities, Zubrowka can now be found in a huge number of mainstream establishments - Revolution and Wetherspoons to name but two.

Fortunately, the popularity of the drink is well deserved. A soft, creamy taste is accompanied by a complete lack of antifreeze after-taste or chest-burning, making Zubrowka easy to drink straight over ice. It works equally well with generic mixers, but it shouldn't be ruined by adding it to something like coke - stick to Stoli for that. The mixer of choice simply has to be - as everyone here has pointed out - pressed apple juice. A better and simpler drink you are unlikely to find, and the only downside is the ease in which you can down the so-called 'Tatankas'.

Excellent, excellent and excellent. Here's to Zubrowka becoming as cheap as the rubbish vodka you get lumbered with at the local supermarket.

Review: I've been drinking Zubrowka for 2years now and love it everyway you can drink it..neat, with ice, in a Tatanka (mixed with apple juice), and also my favourite way in a Polish Martini ingredients and measurements are 1 1/2 shots zubrowka, Krupnik honey liqueur and apple juice.

Review: Just back from a week in Poland - a few days skiing in the picturesque resort of Zakopane and a couple of days in the impressive Krakow. I had tried Zubrowka before, but really took to it this time around. I'd recommend anyone try it - get some apple juice & some ice, this as someone down below says is called "Tatanka". A refreshing and enjoyable drink.

Review: This has got to be the finest Vodka I have tasted. When compared to maintream vodkas such as Smirnoff, Absolut and Finlandia it tastes incredibly smooth. There is a hint of cinnamon that goes well with orange juice, but even better when sipped neat. Due to the smooth texture, this vodka can be enjoyed at room temperature, and does not necessarily need to be served from the freezer.

Review: I came across this vodka in Poland. What a drink, by far the best vodka I have come across. Reinforced by a polish lad I have been working with who says it is one of two, of the best vodkas on offer. Polish restaurants offer maybe 15 vodkas. Praise indeed!

Review: I too first drank this vodka whilst touring Poland. It has a wonderfully subtle taste, with none of the 'hairspray' aftertaste that can be found in several popular 'top brands'.
Certainly drink it with apple juice. As I recall it was called something like 'tatanka' when mixed in this manner, and was a delight of a warm afternoon or a chilly evening!
Highly recommended!!!

Review: I first tried this vodka on a trip to Poland earlier this year, along with many other Polish vodkas. Now I cannot go back to the harsh, overpowering taste of the usual vodkas that you find in the UK. Zubrowka is a vodka with real character and subtle flavours. Try it with apple juice, the traditional Polish mixer for an experience you won't forget in a hurry.

Review: I did not enjoy this vodka. It has a definite grassy flavour to it that I found unpleasant - although friends of mine rate it highly.

Review: I agree, drink it any way you like. In a polish resteraunt in 2003 we were served a jug of pink grapefruit juice to drink with it. Don't start getting snobby with the Vodka, the way we have become with wine and malt whiskey. Remember it started and in some cases still is a peasant's drink.

Review: Don't listen to them!!! Yes, Zubrowka is a masterful vodka. I love it. I drink it frozen and neat. But it's sacrilidge not to use a mixer! It goes incredibly well with pressed apple juice. Really brings out cinamon and clove overtones. It is also very good in a range of cocktails where the delicate flavours pick up hitherto unoticed aspects of both the vodka itself and what you're mixing it with.
Drink it any way you like!

Review: Aromatic bison grass is this vodka's piece de resistance. Otherwise a vodka without character (something that would rival Stoli in it's simplistic and smooth taste) the bison grass highlights the subtlety of the vodka producing a rather sweet and distinct taste.
According to the bottle; "Best served with smoked salmon or a bowl of caviar", this vodka is for special occasions. Like Moet or Cristal, something savoured for special occasions.
A must for all who enjoy a 'different' taste in vodka.

Review: This Vodka is easily the best vodka on the planet! I've never been a fan of drinking neat spirits, but the flavour of this Polish vodka is so delicate & smooth that it's easy to drink. Very aromatic smell too. Zubrowka doesn't have that "paintstripper" aftertaste that I'd normally associate with neat vodka.
Simply place the bottle in the freezer, give it a while for the temperature to drop, & then drink neat. Do not spoil it with a mixer!!
