The Koskenkorva distillery, which is located in the village of Koskenkorva in Southern Ostrobothnia, has a long history dating back to the turn of 1930s and 1940s.
Finnish alcohol monopoly, Oy Alkoholiliike Ab bought land from the Koskenkorva family, Jaakko and Elisabet Koskenkorva. On this land was built the Koskenkorva distillery, where the first experimental distillation took place in the spring of 1941.
