Clara Hof Destillerie: A distillery in maritime surroundings
With the opening of the distillery in spring 2015, a lifetime dream came true for the passionate master distiller – and also nutritionist, brewer and maltster – Andreas Michelsen alongside his wife Tanja. Amidst original, maritime surroundings in a top location in Eckernförd’s old town harbour, this lovingly run home of fine spirits and liqueurs enriches the Baltic resort with handmade spirits. These are sold in the special atmosphere of the rear courtyard – the Clara yards.
The creations are based on old Nordic specialities just as much as on modern distillates from around the world. Experience and an eye for detail are the strong foundation, supported by natural ingredients, where possible organically cultivated. Premium spirits are manufactured from carefully selected herbs and other ingredients. The use of hand-picked Labrador tea in Scandinavia, through which the distillates gain their characteristic rough edges, is particularly special. Labrador tea enriches gin, aquavit and aniseed herb, and can be found at 100 percent in a mild bitter.
At the World Spirits Award, there was silver for Erdbeergeist gereift im Sherry-Fass (strawberry spirit matured in a sherry cask).

Clint Wilfred & Sons – Good taste for rapidly expanding markets
Clint Wilfred & Sons Ltd brings a carefully selected portfolio of drinks to the Gulf region and Southeast Asia. The young company targets fast-moving products in the HORECA – Hotel/Restaurant/Café and Hotel/Restaurant/Catering market segment. It is run by Clint Wilfred, whose family has been in the spirit production and distribution business for over four decades.
One main focus of business activities lies in the United Arab Emirates. To offer new products on this rapidly growing market is a great challenge, as the demand for premium and niche products is constantly increasing and customers’ wishes are very diverse. The range, therefore, also includes non-alcoholic and carbonated soft drinks, still and sparkling water, ready-to-drink teas, energy sport drinks and other New Age drinks. There is also a strong focus on a wide selection of packaging sizes and formats.
One special product in the spirits product category is Count Cristo Blended Scotch Whisky, a premium blend with a high malt content from the Scottish Speyside region and with some lowland malt for added depth and character.
At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Count Cristo Blended Scotch Whisky.
