Casa Noble – The essence of the blue agave

Casa Noble premium tequilas are a part of Mexico, made from ripe, blue agaves (‘Agave tequilana F.A.C. Weber’), hand-picked in the hills of Tequila in the state of Jalisco. Only made in small batches, with traditional techniques, the results can be tasted in this notable trio: Casa Noble Tequila Crystal, Casa Noble Reposado Tequila and Casa Noble Tequila Añejo. Modern know-how is based on a handicraft art that has been passed down through seven generations, begun by the founder and Maestro Tequilero, Jose ‘Pepe’ Hermosillo, in the middle of the 18th century.

As a USDA Certified Organic Tequila producer, all rules and practices for sustainability must be strictly followed throughout the entire production process. The first step is the selection of the ripe agaves, which must comply with strict criteria in terms of water and sugar content. The fruit heart (‘piña’) is steamed in large ovens for 36 hours, to extract the sweet juice. After the fermentation process, distillation takes place, and at Casa Noble this means three times – once more than is usual. French Limousin oak barrels are used for maturation and storage. The result is a tequila which takes the spirit to new levels.

The products also performed at a high level at the World Spirits Award: with double gold for Casa Noble Joven, gold for Casa Noble Añejo, and silver for Casa Noble Crystal.

Spezialitätenbrennerei Lagler – The number one in southern Burgenland

25 quality brandies, 6 liqueurs, 3 Pannonian whiskys – this broad-based programme comes from Kukmirn, the largest fruit-farming community in Burgenland (400 ha). Or more precisely, from the well-being hotel of the Lagler family where speciality distilling is accorded particular significance in addition to a well-being oasis and seminar area. Everything which grows and tastes good has been processed to form brandy here since 1980: from apples, pears, cherries, plums and pomace to berries, wild fruits and rarities such as peach, sloe and Uhudler. The products are best sampled as part of a tasting visit to the distillery complete with an expert tour and friendly advice.

13 hectares of fruit plantations in a top location around the hotel form the natural basis for the product range. Production is based on a natural process and harvesting takes place in accordance with extensive quality controls. Pest control and fertilizer is kept to a minimum, which has a very positive impact on the flavour of the fruits. The company has been developed with tradition over the generations, based on the Maria Theresa distilling grant. The pleasure of the experience involves submersing yourself in the pleasant atmosphere: the family-owned 4-star hotel close to the untouched natural landscapes offers pure quality living in the thermal regions of southern Burgenland. An energy-charging point for relaxation-seekers, a source of energy for fans of down-to-earth cuisine and the ideal destination for top wine and fine distillate enthusiasts.

Participation in the World Spirits Award saw the company’s success continued with classification as a World Class Distillery 2013. There was gold for the cask-aged Uhudler brandy, corn malt and yellow muscatel pomace and silver for the pear brandy, rowanberry brandy and plum brandy.

Stock Polska – Prestige products with history

Polmos Lublin (known today as Stock Polska) was founded by the industrialist Emil Plage in Lublin in 1906 and was able to survive both world wars and the communist state leadership. The company was nationalised in 1948 and re-privatised in 2001. It traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange until 2005 and was sold in 2006. The new owners, Oaktree Capital Management, purchased the spirits division from Eckes Stock in 2007 and thereby laid the foundations for the current Stock Spirits Group. The company has its headquarters in Luxembourg, its service centre in Great Britain and its production sites in the Czech Republic, Italy and Poland.

Stock dates back to the year 1884 when Lionello Stock founded a beverages business in Trieste. He purchased a distillery in 1920 in what is currently part of the Czech Republic with the aim of tapping into new markets. This was followed by distilleries, bottling plants and warehouses in Italy, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Yugoslavia. In the 1920s, Stock was one of the biggest companies of its kind in Europe.

After an absence of 70 years, Stock returned to Poland and began to manufacture at the historic site of Lublin, 150 kilometres south-east of Warsaw. Intensive investment led to the creation of the most modern distillery in Poland and a leadership position on the vodka market. Poland’s most popular flavoured vodka is produced here: Zoladkowa Gorzka.

Lots of Stock products are produced by traditional recipes. These classical brands appeal to connoisseurs all over the world. In return, work is constantly being done on innovations that correspond to modern tastes and new drinking cultures. Quality standards are constantly upheld in both areas, of course.

The quality of the products was recognised at the World Spirits Award with a gold medal for the Orkisz Spelt Vodka.
