Onistar AS
Onistar was one of the major producers and bottling plants for alcoholic beverages in Estonia. The Whisky was sourced from distilleries Invergordon in Scotland. They claimed to hold ca. 36% of the local vodka market and have purchased two additional plants in Rakvere and in Moe. They offered as well kosher grain products. The major shareholder Igor Savenkov filed bancrupcy in 2010 after a scandal of the Savenkoff brand that was sold systematically illegally. Despite that the complete current status of Onistar is unkown, it is very likely that Alcon Distillery, who is registered on the same address has taken over the facility and most of its brands.
