In 1863 Nikolai Leontevich Shustov founds his own distilling enterprise and the brand “Shustov”. The brand range includes wine, liqueur, nastoika and spotykach. The conquering of the market takes place under the severe competition, with the brand relying not on quantity but on quality. The biggest Shustov’s victory was awarding their products the Grand Prix at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900. It was then that the Shustovs were honoured to write cognac on their products, and not a customary brandy.

Nowadays the spirit distilling shop of Odessa Cognac Factory is the biggest in Europe. It distils up to 3 million decalitres of cognac wine materials per distilling season (about 6 months) and yields up to 2 thousand decalitres of absolute alcohol per day. The OCF ageing rooms store more than 15,000 barrels of cognac spirits. It’s a real gold reserve of cognac industry – the largest one in the country.

In 2013 Odessa Cognac Factory began to export the cognac spirits of its own distilling to France. At the end of the year in the ancient OCF cellars the N.L. Shustov Cognac Museum was opened – the first and the only one in Ukraine.
