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.

Tradition Mexico – Tequila without compromises
The friends behind Padre azul, the new tequila in the premium segment, stand united on one matter: their passion for Mexico. “We appreciate high quality tequila, and with Padre azul we are bringing an exclusive product to Europe. We searched for the perfect distillery for a long time. At Tres Mujeres in Jalisco in the highlands of Mexico we found what we were looking for.” 100% Mexico – 100% handcraft – 100% agave.
These requirements and quality criteria apply to the whole production process, which is why each bottle also wears the sought-after quality seal from the Mexican authorities, “Consejo Regulador del Tequila” (CRT). There were no compromises when it came to the design of the bottles: they are made by hand and adorned with a 270g skull which represents the skull culture of Mexico.
Padre azul is available in three grades of maturity, depending on the length of storage. The Añejo usually spends eighteen months in French oak barrels to achieve a mature, full-bodied taste. The Reposado needs at least eight months in barrels for its subtle vanilla tone. The Blanco is a clear tequila which is bottled straight after distillation – it is soft and mild in taste. None of the three need salt or lemon – you can enjoy them neat. True to the motto: no compromises.
At the World Spirits Award, the trio was very successful: there was double gold for Super Premium Tequila Padre azul anejo, gold for Super Premium Tequila Padre azul reposado, and silver for Super Premium Tequila Padre azul blanco.

AXIS Flight Training Systems: Axis Gin
AXIS Flight Training Systems is a manufacturer of full flight D level simulators – the highest qualification level. The idea of distilling his own gin came from Managing Director Christian Theuermann in January 2023. After visiting several distilleries, the Krauss Distillery was chosen, where the gin is produced according to their own recipe. Juniper was used predominantly, with Andaliman pepper, lavender, lemon and cardamom as botanicals. The fact that five botanicals have been chosen is intended to indicate that the company is represented on five continents.
After four weeks of maceration of the botanicals, distillation takes place, followed by the addition of water to adjust to drinking strength. The gin is bottled at 47 percent by volume because the holding company is based in Zurich and Lebring in Styria is headquarters – and both are on the 47th latitude.
At the World Spirits Award 2025, there was Double Gold for 47° London Dry Gin (Spirit of the Year 2025).
