History The company takes its name from "Nemyriv vodka", the first mention of which dates back to 1752. In 1872, Count Grigory Stroganov opened a distillery in Nemyriv, and his daughter, Princess Maria Shcherbatova, continued the business. She hired the Czech architect Jiří Stibral, who designed many buildings in the city, including a new furnace. Under the leadership of Maria Shcherbatova, the distillery reached record production volumes at that time — more than 5,000 half-liter bottles per day. The distillery in Nemyriv was the first to start making alcohol from grain instead of raw potatoes. Products were transported throughout Europe. In 1920, Nemiroff production was nationalized by the Soviet Union. Production would not resume until after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the resulting independence of Ukraine in 1992, when the Nemiroff trademark was registered. In 1994, Nemiroff products began export. In 1997, production lines in Germany were established by Krones. Production capacity reached 50,000 bottles per month. In 1998, Nemiroff released Nemiroff Honey with Pepper, which gained great popularity in Ukraine and around the world. It began to be used as a symbolic souvenir from Ukraine. Since 2000, the brand has supported world professional boxing fights. In 2002, the company introduced laser protection of products to combat counterfeiting. In 2005, the company became a member of the International Bartenders Association and presented a new vodka, Ukrainian Birch Special. In 2006, Nemirooff was recognized as the #2 vodka brand worldwide, according to VODKA-TOP 20 Brands Worldwide and
