A Legacy Distilled

In the early years of the 17th century, amidst the rugged highlands of Artvin, near the Georgian frontier, resided a man of distinguished lineage and considerable means known by the nickname Kostya.

His family, long established as landowners and patrons of culture, commanded respect throughout the region. Their estates were renowned not only for their prosperity but for the refinement that permeated every aspect of their existence.

Kostya, a man of vision and discernment, sought to create a spirit that would embody both the elegance of his heritage and the cultural confluence of the Caucasus. Inspired by the traditions of Russian aristocracy and the whispered tales of winter feasts, he embarked upon the art of distillation.

Yet rather than adhering to convention, he introduced a singular innovation: the incorporation of cherries, blackcurrants, and other fruits native to his orchards. These elements imparted a delicate sweetness and a subtle crimson hue, elevating his creation beyond the ordinary.

He christened this spirit Kostya, as a way to pay homage to his legacy.

The beverage was conceived not as a commodity, but as a testament—a liquid emblem of friendship, legacy, and artistry. Each vessel was meticulously sealed and reserved exclusively for private gatherings, familial celebrations, and moments of solemn reflection before the hearth.

To partake of Kostya was to enter a circle of privilege, where every sip carried the weight of history and the grace of tradition.

As the decades unfolded Kostya transcended mere substance to become legend a spirit spoken of in hushed tones within salons and hunting lodges, revered by those who understood that true luxury is neither common nor commercial, but intimate and enduring.
