Bobby’s Gin: Dutch courage with Indonesian spirit

This family business is based in Schiedam in the south of the Netherlands, which is well known for its centuries-old tradition of distilling. The company was named after Jacobus ‘Bobby’ Alfons. He skilfully blended Dutch jenever with a Pinang Raci blend of spices that reminded him of his homeland of Naku on the Moluccan spice island of Ambon. His grandson Sebastiaan started his professional career in the drinks industry and felt it was time to create something new that came from the heart. With help from his family, he reconstructed this traditional recipe with its characteristic flavour. Following the market launch in February 2014, his brother David officially joined the company.

Bobby’s Schiedam Dry Gin spans a flavour-packed bridge between East and West, stands for Dutch courage, and is enriched with Indonesian spirit. It is a fresh and spicy combination of juniper, fennel seeds, coriander and rose hips as well as lemongrass, cloves, cinnamon and cubeb pepper. Bobby’s Jenever combines lemongrass, ginger, cardamom, cubeb pepper with juniper and malt brandy as a bready, nutty base. Pinang Raci celebrates the traditional flavours of Ambon in a modern Schiedam Dry Gin, characterised by daun salam, turmeric and galangal, supported by ginger, sweet orange, cloves, cinnamon, lemongrass, cubeb pepper, coriander and juniper.

At the World Spirits Award 2025, there was Gold for Bobby’s Schiedam Jenever, and Silver for Bobby’s Schiedam Dry Gin and Bobby’s Schiedam Gin Pinang Raci.

Elch Edelbrände: Brandies, whisky and beers from Franconia

Georg Kugler (born in 1977) used to stand in wonder in front of his godfather’s still as a child and wanted every single step explained to him in detail. In 2002, he fulfilled his dream: he took over his godfather’s renowned restaurant, including the distillery rights, and he added a brewery. In 2013, the now father-of-three replaced the original distillery from the 1960s with a highly modern system with one of the largest stills in the country (1,000 l).

This passionate distiller has experimented with different fermentation temperatures, distilling methods and different yeasts, and developed his own line of straight brandies that are clearly defined in taste. As one of the first fine brandy sommeliers (2012) and beer sommeliers (2013), he is fascinated by the nuances of flavours, and he also combines the worlds of brewing and distilling. And so, you can find brandies maturing in wooden casks besides Williams pear, quince and cherry brandies in historic rock caverns. A few years ago, Georg Kugler began to work more intensively with whisky. He has been producing the smoky Single Malt Whisky since 2017, for which the malt is kiln-dried for the first time over German peat. The storage in sherry, bourbon and acacia wood barrels provides the Elch whisky with its special aroma.

At the World Spirits Award, there was double gold for Fass 41, gold for Fass 1, Fass 24, Torf vom Dorf, and silver for Akazienfass Nr. 15.

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.
