I never buy vodka but went to today and just out of curiosity checked where it's made. Well, it turns out it's made in the US in my (Irish) supermarket at least so yours may be the same.

I bought Finlandia instead.

Żubrówka or Żubrówka Biała if you aren’t into the bison grass (the bison grass is pretty good, though). They’re made in Poland, and the parent companies are Polish.

You'll have to fill me in on what bison grass is bud :)

It’s a grass used for flavour (and colour) which is slightly sweet/herbal. It makes for a really lovely vodka in my opinion, often you have it mixed with Apple Juice.
