In Košice there were two liquor factories of the companies Brothers Kohn and Adler and Gold. Jozef Kohn did business in Český Těšín, from where he delivered the products of his liquor house to Košice and they were a success with consumers. Based on this, he founded a branch of the Košice liquor factory in Košice in 1880. It was led by F. Aufricht, who became the owner under the company "Brothers Kohn and Count Csáky, factory for cognac, liqueurs and rum". The cognac was trademarked with Count Csáky's coat of arms and was ordered by the best restaurants and hotels in Hungary and Austria. The liqueur factory was located at No. 6, Moldavská Street, on an area of 1800 square metres. Rum was produced in smaller quantities and the range of French-style cream liqueurs was expanded.
