The Origins
of Vodka
Vodka simply translates to “little water”. That sounds harmless, but behind it lies a spirit with cult status and a history as old as it is mysterious.
Where it all began? Poland and Russia still argue about that to this day. Both claim to have been the first to make a clear spirit from grain. Back then, however, vodka was less party fuel and more medicine. They distilled it mild, mixed in herbs, roots or even buffalo grass – and swore it healed body and mind.
It wasn’t until the 18th century that vodka became the clear, pure distillate we know today. And this is exactly where its career as a cult drink took off. From the icy expanses of Eastern Europe to bars around the world – vodka was suddenly everywhere and constantly being reinterpreted.
The History of Bison Grass
Bison grass grows in the pristine forests of Poland and releases its unmistakable scent of vanilla and woodruff when dried. For centuries it has attracted the European bison, the wisents – hence its name.
People have been using this grass to refine spirits since early times. Not as a gimmick, but as a symbol of nature, clarity and character.
Grasovka Original continues this tradition: Every blade in the bottle is a reminder of the origin, the wilderness and the authentic spirit that Grasovka stands for. Not a gimmick, but a trademark that is unique worldwide.
