Żubrówka Vodka
Zubrowka - Bison Grass VodkaAn unusual traditionally flavoured vodka,owing its delicate aroma and flavour to bison grass, a sweet grass herb known as Hierochlöe odorata, named by Poles Żubrówka.The bison grass only grows in small clumps in the wild in the Białowieża Primaeval forest, where wild bison roam free. The inhabitants of the region say, it imparts the power of a bison to all that consume it. Legend proclaims that the bison grass is an aphrodisiac and a potent agent of virility, which keeps Europe’s only remaining bison herds from extinction. The herb is harvested by hand and dried naturally in the sunshine before being used to flavour a high quality rye grain spirit at the Bialystok Polmos in Eastern Poland. It takes ten blades of this highly aromatic grass to flavour one bottle of Zubrowka, and each bottle contains a blade of bison grass. Wonderfully complex and enigmatic vodka, with grassy, hay, herbaceous aromas (particularly thyme and lavender) with citrus, vanilla, spring flowers and marzipan on the palate, it’s fabulous over ice and unbelievably good with apple juice! |
