The art of the innovation
-
13-stage filtration
Luxe grain alcohol from the best wheat varieties passes silver, platinum and amber stages for enhanced liquid mineralisation and absolute purity.
-
Two weeks of rest
After filtration the spirit enters a mandatory two-week resting period, letting the liquid settle, stabilise and harmonise its molecular structure — an impossibly soft, velvety texture.
-
Oak barrel aging
The brandy breathes in traditional oak barrels in historic cellars, gathering a warm amber tone, notes of oak and dried fruit, and an extraordinarily smooth finish.
A merchant’s idea in Odessa, 1863.
The Shustov story began when merchant Nikolai Leontievich Shustov founded a small spirits business producing vodka, herbal liqueurs and infusions. Within two generations it became one of the Russian Empire’s largest spirits companies — and its Odessa distillery still defines how Shevkoff is made today.
- 1863
The founding date
Nikolai Leontievich Shustov opens a spirits house in Moscow, distilling vodka, herbal liqueurs and infusions. This is the founding date of the Shustov company — the beginning of a craft that Shevkoff still carries in every bottle.
- 1899
Odessa, by the Black Sea
The family acquires the Black Sea Winemaking Company in Odessa, where grape brandy production is already developing — the root of the house’s future XO.
- 1911–12
Shustov and Sons expand
The property at 23 Melnytska Street is enlarged and the Odessa branch is established, together with warehouses and brandy-production facilities. Shevkoff vodka was originally revived at this historic distillery.
- 1912
Supplier to the Imperial Court
The company receives the prestigious title of Supplier to the Imperial Court. Its fame was built as much by nerve as by quality — in the early 1900s Shustov was known for an audacious promotional method.
“Hire young men to walk into the fashionable restaurants and loudly demand a glass of Shustov cognac — within a season, every waiter in the city knew the name.” The house legend, early 1900s
- Today
Two distilleries, one standard
Because of the full-scale war in Ukraine, production moved from Odessa to the boutique distillery in Lviv — where Shevkoff Vodka is distilled to the 125-year Imperial recipe. For over 20 years every batch has passed rigorous quality control before shipping to the US. Shustov XO Brandy is crafted at the historic Koblevo distillery, owned by Bayadera Group, Ukraine’s premier spirits holding.
Crafted with heritage. Bottled to perfection.
A century of craftsmanship in a glass — smooth enough to sip neat, clean enough to carry any cocktail. Available for distribution and on-premise accounts across the US.
