Żubrówka Bison Grass is a unique, aromatic, herbal vodka. It is produced from the highest quality grain and bison grass, which grows in the primeval forests of the Białowieża Forest. The bison grass macerate used in production is matured in massive oak barrels, which gives it a richer and deeper flavour. It is then mixed with the highest quality spirit and water from deep wells until the desired flavour and light green colour is achieved.
Finally, a decorative blade of grass is hand-added to each bottle to emphasise the natural origin of its unique flavour.

Branded Content – Gas Familia and Goral Vodka Master
Founded in 1994 in the High Tatras Mountains, Gas Familia produces the Goral Vodka Master brand. The production process begins with the selection of the best wheat, which is transformed into the highest quality ethanol by a seven-fold distillation process. The liquid is then refined through a carbo-filtration process that guarantees smoothness and fineness in terms of the human senses. Great attention is also paid to the selection of water for Goral Vodka Master – crystal clear water of the highest quality from the high mountain streams of the High Tatras.
