A vodka from the long tradition of Eastern Europe, Keglevich Classic is distilled entirely from pure grain with the original 1884 recipe invented during the crisis after the Panic of 1873 by the Hungarian Count of Croatian origin, Stephan Keglevich.
In 1896 along with Count István Keglevich and the writer Ferenc Szécsi he founded the Vígszínház and got a considerable stake in the theatre, and at the same time he began managing the theatre's financial aspects.
Stephan Bernhard Keglevich, brother of Johann Keglevich, became Major General in 1793 and was killed in the winter of 1793/1794 in the battle of Uttenhoffen with some of his private Serbian soldiers as they were attacked by surprise in their hidden winter camp in a wood near Uttenhoffen.
