Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka
| Description: | Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka Zubrowka is a genuine original from a traditional recipe dating back to the 14th century. Flavored with a wild growing aromatic bison grass. The flavors are unique, clean, and light - hinting at vanilla, coconut oil and almonds or macadamia nut - but dry with subtle spices throughout. Each bottle is a single blade of grass is placed to confirm its authenticity. Substitute this in a dry spirit drink, for a fun twist. Once banned from the U.S. market, Auubrowka vodka is a rye distillate with the flavor of a grass unique to the woods of Poland that is eaten by the countrys endangered Bison population.Since the 14th century, Poland has produced rye distillate flavored with a particular grass eaten by Bison in the Bialowieza, Europes largest woods straddling the Polish-Belorussian border, nearly unchanged for over 6,000 years. For this reason, it is commonly referred to in English as Bison Grass Vodka. A favorite of the nobility and peasantry alike since the 18th century, Ă uubrowka was once thought to increase stature and youthfulness of those who drink it.In 1978, the Fda banned Ă uubrowka due to a natural chemical in the grass that may thin the blood. For over 30 years, bottles could only be purchased within the United States on the black market. After over a decade of testing and reformulation, the producers of Ă uu have come up with a formula that tastes identical to the original Bison Grass vodka without the potentially toxic chemical, using herbs and seasonings from the Bialowieza. Like the original Ă uubrowka, this version comes with a strand of real bison grass in the bottle.Ă uu is light yellow in color with an aroma of citrus, and herbs. A distinct pistachio flavor carries the otherwise vegetal palate, with a creamy viscosity and a lasting finish of lemon and nuts.Somerset Maugham, the famous British playwright and novelist, wrote in his 1944 tome The Razor's Edge that Ă uubrowka "smells of freshly mown hay and spring flowers, of thyme and lavender, and it's soft on the palate and so comfortable, it's like listening to music by moonlight." |
