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.

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.

BOAR Distillery: Appreciation as a tradition since 1844!
The roots of the small traditional distillery go back to 1844. Making use of the distillery licence dating back to that time, they began to develop a gin in 2014, using everything that their homeland offered: native, authentic ingredients in their purest form. It took over a year to find the perfect recipe. The result was a very good gin, but with a slightly bitter and sharp finish like many others. Whilst searching for a solution, they stumbled on an exciting discovery. Germany used to be a well-known truffle nation. When truffle searching was forbidden in 1935 by the German Reich nature conservation law, the black gold was forgotten about – and it only became an integral part of this gin concept much later. At the end of 2015, a discovery helped the distillers achieve their aim: the truffle removed the bitterness and sharpness from the gin, depending on the method and timing of the addition. The crowning finale had been reached – the harmony of the elements: the BOAR effect.
Mineral-rich deep spring water drenches the soil of the Black Forest and refines the ingredients into their purest form – above and below the ground. Wild-growing, natural botanicals are combined in this composition, refined and accentuated through essences of the rare Black Forest gold, the Black Forest Burgundy truffle. Handmade and distilled in small batches, this gin is an ambassador for the pleasures offered by this unique region in southern Germany.
At the World Spirits Award, there was double gold for BOAR Gin (Spirit of the Year & World Spirits Award), and silver for Berry Herb Liqueur Caliber 1844.
