Clear colour with just a faint tinge of straw. Reminiscent of a brand new straw broom. The nose is very attractive nd intense. Tangy, well balanced, dry, bright, vibrant, harmonious, very faintly sweetish, gently grassy, freshly cut hay flavours plus a long, harmonious, fresh finish. Has 40% alcohol. |

In Poland, bison grass vodkas are generically called ‘Zubrowka’. Zubr is Polish for bison (a.k.a. the European wisent, a relative of the North American bison). Tasting note: ... absolute purity; the opening nosing presents a delightfully sweet and, well, grassy aroma that’s more candy-like than fresh mown lawn-like – with aeration, the aroma turns into a full-blown bouquet that’s delicate yet assertive, nuanced yet perfumey in a floral way ... an intensely aromatic bouquet that’s sweet in a floral manner, then the flavour expands in mid-palate to include atypical vodka tastes of cocoa, dark caramel and nougat. Score – HHHH (out of 5). (F. Paul Pacult, Spirit Journal, June 1999) |
