Manufacturing specifics

Raw materials for the creation of the line “Old Koenigsberg” are obtained from the French region of Cognac. Grape distillates are produced and aged at home, and blended and bottled in Russia.

The blending process takes place under the personal supervision of Jérôme Tessendieu, an experienced craftsman who heads his own distillery.

After evaluating the compositions in the laboratory, the alcohols are mixed with specially prepared water and caramelized sugar in a blending container.

To preserve the aroma of cognac and oak accents, cold processing technology is used. After blending, the drinks rest in special storage facilities, filtered, tasted and bottled.
