technologies, little known in Russia due to their sophisticated character and
high demands to the equipment: - Own pieces of woodland at the feet of the Greater Caucasus
in the Krasnodar region;
- Stocking up of oak wood and accompanying woods (pine, beech)
with strict control of the felled trunks;
- Production of split and sawn staves from dense oak wood;
- Natural open-air stave drying for up to two years;
- Manufacture of small brandy and wine casks (up to 10 l);
- Manufacture of vat staves (vat volume from 1.5 to 20 tons);
- Manufacture of eaves board (premium quality pine wood) and
parquet planks (beech, oak). The wood undergoes high-level processing and quality control
at all stages of the technological process. Our National and International Consumers- William Grant & Sons Ltd, Scotland;
