LA SU Gin: Exotic holiday feeling in a glass
Alexander Kayser and Christopher Schuh are true gin lovers and founders of the brand LA SU Gin – a registered brand of Expo Outline Messebau und Event GmbH in Altenstadt, with Alexander Kayser as the managing partner.
After exploring many trains of thought, it was clear to both of them that it had to be exotic. LA SU Gin is a premium handcrafted gin with a hint of fruity mango. Distilled in small batches, traditionally and without additives, it is made in one of the oldest distilleries in Europe. The mango gives it a special freshness and balances the tart notes of the spices perfectly. Next to the mango, LA SU evokes a sense of travel. Enjoy a holiday feeling and discover new taste sensations. The elaborate bottle design reflects a love of detail and certainly leaves an impression.
At the World Spirits Award, bronze was achieved by LA SU *MGO* Natural Mango.

Hammer & Son - A new generation of gin
Geranium Gin had been the subject of much fine-tuning before it was presented to the public for the first time at the Bar Convent Berlin in September 2009 - and was well-received by leading bar specialists. The man behind the product is Danish citizen Henrik Hammer, an accomplished expert and judge who developed the new gin together with his late father, a chemist.
Their vision was to develop a special gin: specially suited to mixing cocktails, compatible with tonic and vermouth and adaptable to various fruit components. The unique character of the gin is based on the combination of fresh and dried plant components including juniper and a special species of geranium.
"I've worked intensively with gin for many years and sampled hundreds of products, but the taste spectrum is always fairly similar. So I saw it as a challenge to push the boundaries. The smell of geranium leaves always reminds me of gin and tonic, and the plant has been used for its healing properties over centuries as well as to clear the air and fragrance foods. To extract the oils contained in the plant as a basis for gin, we developed a special distillation process."
To ensure the authenticity of the label "London Dry Gin" as a Danish producer, a British expert was consulted to finalise the recipe. The result of the intensive efforts: a successful product which secured itself gold at the World-Spirits Award with high marks.

Windspiel: From the field to the bottle
At the Weilerhof farm in the Vulkaneifel region, Sandra Wimmeler and Denis Lönnendonker grow the pota-toes for their down-to-earth spirit, which is all produced by hand: from sorting to attaching the ribbons to the gold ring on the bottleneck. After the harvest, the potatoes are carefully washed, finely ground, added to drinking water and worked into a pumpable paste. This is heated to destroy any germs, and the transfor-mation from starch to sugar begins. After slowly being cooled down, a special yeast is added and the mash ferments in a tank. After three rounds of distillation, the basis for all the products is finished – an alcohol with a delicate mildness and characteristic potato note.
For the Premium Dry Gin juniper, lemon peel, coriander, lavender blossoms, ginger and cinnamon are added (the rest remains a secret). The Reserve is stored for many months in oak barrels and is exceptionally mild with its 50 percent alcohol by volume – perfect for enjoying on the rocks. The Navy Strength with 57 percent alcohol by volume is rounded off by ingredients from the routes of the colonial rulers from the past. For the Sloe Gin, hand-selected sloes from the Eifel region are preserved in 70 percent Premium Dry Gin, before the macerate is mixed with the 47 percent gin, sloe juice and sugar. The 30 percent juice adds a subtle sweetness to the bitter note – an ideal sundowner. The product range is completed by barrel matured vodka and a herb spirit.
At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Windspiel Premium Dry Gin, Windspiel Premium Dry Gin Navy Strength, Windspiel Premium Sloe Gin and Windspiel Premium Dry Gin Reserve.
