Zubrowka Biala Polish Vodka
Zubrowka Biala Polish Vodka is the pure, unflavored expression of Poland's most storied vodka brand — a clear winter-rye vodka at 40% ABV (80 proof) in 750mL, distilled at Polmos Bialystok in northeastern Poland. "Biala" means "white" in Polish, inspired by the Bialowieza Forest in winter — and unlike its famous bison-grass sibling, Biala carries no infusion and no blade of grass in the bottle. It's available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Grass-Free Zubrowka
When the US banned bison-grass vodka in 1978, Poland answered with Biala — the same 14th-century lineage and the same forest inspiration, distilled clean from winter rye with nothing added. The result is a straight rye vodka with a soft grain character built for ice-cold pours and clean cocktails. Explore more vodka, or shop the Zubrowka collection at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Retailer-sourced profile: light cereal grain and faint white pepper with subtle green apple and pear; a soft, balanced palate with gentle rye sweetness; a clean, smooth finish.
How to Enjoy
Serve ice-cold — neat in a frozen shot glass is the Polish ritual. It disappears into a crisp martini or a clean Moscow Mule without stealing the show.
