Breckenridge Distillery: Whiskey und mehr aus den Rocky Mountains

Bryan Nolt ist eigentlich Arzt – und Whiskey-Nerd: Im Jahr 2007 hatte ich die Idee, eine Brennerei in Colorado zu gründen. Mit dem Einsatz aller Ersparnisse und dem Verkauf unseres Hauses wagte ich einen kompletten Neuanfang. Heute können wir uns mit gutem Gewissen als erfolgreiche Brennerei betrachten, mit deinem tollen Team und der Hartnäckigkeit eines hungrigen Honigdachses. Und dem Riesenvorteil, einzigartiges, klares Wasser aus den Rocky Mountains für die Produktion nutzen zu können.“

Jordan Via, Master Distiller, bringt die Philosophie auf den Punkt: „Wir wollen hier nichts beweisen oder eine Show abziehen. Wir versuchen, klug und geschickt zu arbeiten, um einfach Qualität und Geschmack zu erzeugen. Während der Sommermonate pressen wir frisches Obst, bevorzugt aus der Region, für unsere Edelbrände, Liköre, Wodkas und Aromastoffe. Übers Jahr destillieren wir Botanicals und kümmern uns um Whiskey und Rum. Die Bourbon-Blends stellen wir in kleinen Chargen zusammen, dafür verwenden wir ausgewählte Fässer aus Kentucky, Tennessee und Indiana.“

Im Jahr 2016 wird die Brennerei erweitert, ein neues Fasslager eingerichtet, dazu kommen eine Cocktail-Bar, Veranstaltungsräume und ein kulinarischer Schwerpunkt zum Thema „Spirits an Food“. Darüber hinaus gibt es einen kleinen Laden in der Innenstadt von Breckenridge. Und kostenlose Brennereiführungen an sieben Tagen der Woche. Klingt eigentlich alles ganz einfach, um Erfolg zu haben, oder?

Beim World-Spirits Award gab es dreimal Gold (Breckenridge Chili Chile Vodka, Breckenridge Vodka, Breckenridge Bourbon) und zweimal Silver (Breckenridge Bitters, Spiced Rum).

Nordic Premium Beverages: High percentage from the far north

Ilomantsi is the easternmost community in Finland, situated in North Karelia on the border with Russia. The company was founded here in 1989 and initially produced berry wines and spirits for the local market. Today it focuses on distillates. The natural landscape plays its part in only the highest quality, purest raw materials being processed. All the spirits, wines, sparkling wines and liqueurs are made of carefully selected berries and plants from Finland. True to the origins in the land of 187,888 lakes, exclusively fresh spring water is used as the basis for the drinks. And the development of a new product always starts with a story.

In the case of Oath Gin, it started with the Finnish Formula 1 racing driver Valtteri Bottas asking whether a gin could be manufactured for him. He originally only wanted a single batch for himself and his friends, but he liked the end product so much that he wanted to share his enthusiasm and make it available on a wider scale. In the beginning, there was the idea of apple and oats (coming from fields belonging to Bottas’ family), actually an apple cake. With the innovative idea of vacuum distillation of the apple peel, the master distiller Asko Ryynänen succeeded in capturing the essence of this traditional bakery item in the form of a gin. Together with the subtlety of the oats, juniper berries, a few additional secret ingredients and their own naturally filtered spring water, a New Western Style Gin emerged.

At the World Spirits Award, bronze was awarded to OATH Gin.

Edward Snell – Whisky from South Africa

Edward Snell founded a trading company in Durban in 1848, from which the oldest spirit company in South Africa developed over 160 years. Following an eventful history, the company is now once again in the hands of the family. Besides their own brands they also sell numerous local and international drink brands, mostly in various markets in Africa and the Middle East.

The wide range of products includes whisky, brandy, vodka, rum, gin, tequila and cognac. One outstanding label is Firstwatch Whisky with its new look, a striking, square bottle design. Consumer demand for a whisky with an American taste profile has been perfected over time and is presented today as a balanced blend of the finest imported rye and grain. Whether pure, on the rocks or mixed – its diversity makes it popular with many different target groups and successful in one of the largest spirit segments in South Africa.

At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Firstwatch Whisky.
