The name Nestville Distillery was created by combining the words NEST and VILLE, with ‘NEST’ meaning nest and “VILLE” being an abbreviation of the English word ‘VILLAGE’ , which translates to village, or in full translation, Nestville. This picturesque village of Hniezdne is located only 5 km east of Stara Ľubovňa and its first written mention dates back to 1286.
