The brand attracted the attention of buyers with a bright design of a thematic series of strong drinks, for which the manufacturer has developed an application for gadgets.

Historical information
Kuznetsk distillery has been operating since 1946. In Soviet times, the plant was part of the structure of the country’s alcohol industry, and in the 90s it was privatized and completely reconstructed, taking into account modern requirements for the quality of alcoholic beverages. The production capacity of the enterprise is more than a million decaliters per year. Own laboratories control the quality of alcohol not only at the stages of production, but also during long-term storage in warehouses.
In 2013, the plant underwent a complete modernization: equipment was replaced, new bottling lines with a capacity of 7000 bottles per hour were put into operation. An automatic German-made plant operating in continuous mode is responsible for the accuracy of following the recipe. Blends are purified with birch charcoal and silver. In addition, the beverages are cold-treated in order to obtain products that are resistant to precipitation when temperatures change.
The first presentation of the brand “Russian Peppers” took place at the international exhibition “Prodexpo 2013”. Vodka is based on Alfa grain alcohol, which contains a minimum of harmful impurities. Water comes from natural sources located in the villages of Buturlino and Shelemis. The fortress is adjusted in the finishing vats. Before bottling, the blend passes through polishing filters, which give the finished product transparency and shine.
