Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka 1L, 40%
Tasting Notes
Colour: Clear with a very slight greenish-yellow tint. This is supported by tasting and retailer descriptions rather than a formal official colour line on the product page.
Nose: Wonderfully complex, with bison grass, chamomile, green apples, lavender, vanilla, and almonds.
Palate: Herbal and grassy, with creamy vanilla, subtle spice, light floral touches, and a smooth, lightly sweet texture. This combines the official flavour notes with reviewer descriptions.
Finish: Lingering grassy, vanilla, and lightly almond-like notes with a soft herbal freshness. This is a light expansion based on the official aroma/flavour notes and reviewer finish description.
Description
Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka 1L, 40% is an iconic Polish flavoured vodka inspired by the Białowieża Forest and built around the distinctive aroma of bison grass. The official Żubrówka site describes it as a unique flavour expression with herbal notes, creamy vanilla, subtle spice, and spring-flower softness, while the 1-litre format at 40% ABV is widely listed by retail sources for this version.
What makes this bottle especially recognisable is its connection to bison grass itself. Żubrówka explains that the grass grows in north-eastern Poland, especially around the Białowieża Forest, and that the brand’s history goes back to the 15th century, when Polish nobility were already flavouring spirits with a blade of this aromatic grass.
The official Bison Grass product page also highlights wonderfully complex aromas of bison grass, chamomile, green apples, lavender, vanilla, and almonds, with a flavour profile centred on herbal notes and creamy vanilla. That gives the vodka a softer, more characterful profile than a neutral plain vodka, while still keeping it very versatile for chilled sipping and long mixed drinks. The point about it feeling more characterful than a plain vodka is an inference based on the official aroma and flavour notes.

Collector’s Note
This is not a collector-led bottle in the rare-whisky sense, but it has very strong shelf identity because of its heritage, its instantly recognisable blade of grass, and its status as one of the best-known flavoured vodkas from Poland. Żubrówka also states that the brand is exported to more than 40 countries, which adds to its international recognition.
For most customers, the appeal here is not rarity but character: a vodka with a real story, a visual signature, and a flavour profile that is much easier to remember than a standard neutral spirit. The point about memorability is an inference based on the official product presentation and flavour profile.
