LILAH – Creamy liqueur made from aromatic chai

Lilah is the modern interpretation of the traditional oriental chai tea and combines the taste of the tea with the creaminess of an exquisite cream liqueur. Combined with choice spices from the Far East, the popular chai tea has been re-invented as a new taste sensation. Only natural spice extracts are used (ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, fennel seeds, cloves, vanilla, black tea, rooibos), no artificial flavours or additives are added.

In large areas of Southern Asia and in the Orient, chai is a general term for tea. Over the last few years and with increasing popularity, especially in Europe it has become synonymous with Masala Chai, the national drink of India. The recipes can vary according to region or even household, but the main ingredients are water, milk, black tea and various spices. Chai originated in Ayurvedic teachings and is well-known for its beneficial health effects. Lilah works the same but as a new way to enjoy chai, whether as an addition to hot tea, as a delicious ingredient in tasty cocktails or as an innovative addition to desserts such as chocolate mousse. The sophisticated bottle design also makes the spicy drink an ideal present.

Vincent Aeberhard, CEO of Fusion Drinks, developed the product: “After years of developing and trying out different ingredients we are proud to be able to present a modern interpretation of the traditional tea. The design of the bottle was inspired by Indian henna tattoos. The logo is intended to elegantly portray the blossoming of all the ingredients.”

The concept won over the jury at the World Spirits Award: Lilah was awarded gold.

HirschRudel: Herb liqueur following an old family recipe

HirschRudel herb liqueur is made using a very elaborate procedure. To achieve a perfect high-quality result of course requires plenty of dedication, therefore importance is attached to manual work. Each production comprises around 4,000 bottles of 0.5 litres, along with individual magnum bottles in very small batches. All the bottles are filled and labelled by hand with individual numbering and the filling date. Natural cork with a tin lid and the recipe complete the package. But the most important feature is of course the taste!

HirschRudel was brought to life by Dirk Verpoorten, a partner in the egg liqueur dynasty from Bonn. In his grandma Elly’s heirlooms he found an old trunk where she kept a book of mementos, in which she recorded a recipe for a herb liqueur she had created herself on the occasion of a family celebration. Dirk Verpoorten tried out the recipe and was so delighted with the taste that he decided to bring the herb liqueur back to life under the name HirschRudel in memory of his grandmother.

At the World Spirits Award, HirschRudel Herb Liqueur was awarded gold.

Luding Group: Vodka Tchaikovsky as a high-spirited homage to the famous composer

At the beginning of the 1990s, the modern distillery ‘Fortuna’ was launched in a green field in the south of Russia – in the Krasnodar region, a strip of land with spa resorts and health centres. The distillery has specialised in unusual products, in a region with a particularly green fingerprint. The vodka created in honour of the great Russian composer Tchaikovsky is special. The concept for this exceptional product is comparable with one of his musical scores: the work ‘Swan Lake’ served as an inspiration. Art enthusiasts can thus immerse themselves in the history of Russian estate life in the 19th century. The traditional white and blue colours underline the purity of this vodka.

The technical particularities span a wide quality-orientated spectrum: from the selected wheat, their own well water and the special treatment of the distillate with skimmed milk powder to the crystal-clear filtration with active birch coal. With so much perfectionism and monitoring of the individual production steps, the result is an especially gentle, animating and very typical vodka based on wheat. After the diluting of alcohol and pure distillate, the production process is continued with maturation in steel tanks. The aim is to ‘wed’ both ‘waters’, resulting in an especially harmonious vodka.

At the World Spirits Award 2022, Vodka Tchaikovsky was awarded double gold and honoured as the best vodka with the title ‘Spirit of the Year’.
