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.

Lehar – The liqueur manufacturer with a successful recipe
Josef Lehar, a relative of Franz Lehar (the ‘king of operetta’), established an enterprise in 1902 that also had to do with composition – in his case harmonious distilled spirits, vinegar, oil, and tea – and which was able to continue growing, even through times of crisis. At the first international exhibition for ‘Trade, Commerce and Social Hygiene’ in 1908, a herb liqueur – the ‘Original Lehar Bitter’ – was awarded a certificate of honour. The company was taken over in 1976 by Mr. and Mrs. Wiesböck and transformed into the company it is today. Since March 2007, Dietmar Messner, a qualified graduate in business administration and a market researcher, has been running the business according to tradition as the owner.
Today, a wide range of high quality products is available at the modern company in Ebreichsdorf: the company focuses predominantly on the production and bottling of alcoholic products from Austria and abroad, the production and trade of speciality foods and diabetic products as well as other health, pharmacy and cosmetics products. The spirits sector deals with liqueurs, brandies, spirits, schnapps, rum and bitters as well as international brands, Gerasdorfer brandies and fruits in alcohol.
Together with the more than 100 years of experience, high processing reliability and strict quality controls ensure an appealing price-performance ratio for all Austrian retail chains, regionally organised and non-organised specialist dealers, retailers and the catering industry. Lehar’s success is not limited to Austria – the company’s fine products are also appreciated internationally, with exports to Germany, Hungary, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Slovakia.
Lehar’s imaginative compositions won classification as a ‘Master Class Distillery 2014’ at the World Spirits Award, with gold for the Likörmacher Herb Liqueur, Likörmacher Egg-Poppy Liqueur, Likörmacher Advocaat-Rum-Coconut and Likörmacher Hazelnut, and silver for the Likörmacher Advocaat-Vanilla and Likörmacher Damson Liqueur.

Blackriver Gin: Organic spirit from Saarland
Blackriver Gin is the first organic gin from the Bliesgau Biosphere Reserve in Saarland. The two founders, Christian Ehrhardt and Christian Hurth, are proud Saarland locals who also spent their childhood here. It was important to them to create a gin that reflected their own values: a focus on regionality, sustainability and dedication to the homeland. Great importance was therefore attached to the quality and the origins of the ten botanicals, including typical regional ingredients such as buckhorn plantain.
In the interests of high product standards and the aim of offering 100% organic quality with regional ingredients, they looked for a suitable partner and found one in the Monter Distillery in Hemmersdorf in the Saargau region, near the French border. The family enterprise has been in operation since 1846, now already in its sixth generation, and has organic certification. An organic pure alcohol on a wheat basis is distilled with the botanicals in small batches. Several macerates give the gin its special colour and individual flavour. The careful production process comprises many controlled steps to preserve the aromas of the organic botanicals. Their expert adviser was Wolfgang Maffert, a fine spirit sommelier from the distillery and a gin lover. With a lot of experience and a special touch, the gin composition is very accomplished. The dense aromas combine herbs such as rosemary, apple mint and lavender, as well as fruity elements such as raspberries, blueberries and lemon peel, with a subtle hint of juniper. The taste is pleasantly mild and lasting. The colour is unusual: a delicate violet with a hint of rosé.
