Georg Hemmeter – XUXU, Escorial, SILLA EL FUERTE

Georg Hemmeter – strawberry drinks with exceptional flavour guaranteed

The name Georg Hemmeter – a company of the Underberg Group – stands for innovative spirits, in particular the XUXU range. The fresh and fruity strawberry drink contains 66 percent fruit plus crystal-clear vodka, rounded off with a dash of lime. The harmony between the sweetness of the fruit and just 15% alcohol by volume is created using a special production method. XUXU Ten, the little luxury in a 250 ml aluminium bottle with only 10% alcohol by volume, is dressed to party – it is still relatively new to the market, yet is already at home in all the world’s top party venues.
XUXU can be served in so many different ways: chilled, neat, on crushed ice, as a dessert topping, with sparkling wine or with other mixers – XUXU tastes heavenly and offers fresh and fruity pleasure. Welcome to Berrydise!

Initially the absolute top star in Greece, XUXU is now also number 1 in Russia, and extremely popular in Turkey and Italy too.


XUXU Strawberry & Vodka Drink and XUXU Ten won Gold at the World Spirits Award 2014.

Edward Snell – Whisky from South Africa

Edward Snell founded a trading company in Durban in 1848, from which the oldest spirit company in South Africa developed over 160 years. Following an eventful history, the company is now once again in the hands of the family. Besides their own brands they also sell numerous local and international drink brands, mostly in various markets in Africa and the Middle East.

The wide range of products includes whisky, brandy, vodka, rum, gin, tequila and cognac. One outstanding label is Firstwatch Whisky with its new look, a striking, square bottle design. Consumer demand for a whisky with an American taste profile has been perfected over time and is presented today as a balanced blend of the finest imported rye and grain. Whether pure, on the rocks or mixed – its diversity makes it popular with many different target groups and successful in one of the largest spirit segments in South Africa.

At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Firstwatch Whisky.

Alltech’s Lexington Brewing & Distilling Company – Distilling and brewing with passion

Alltech is a global company operating in the animal health and nutrition industry. With more than 2,650 employees in 128 countries, the company has developed a strong regional presence in Europe, North America, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. In 1999, Alltech from the heart of Kentucky entered the drinks industry, initially with beer and then with spirits such as Bourbon and Malt Whisky. A carefully devised visitor centre is located close to the brewery and distillery and visitors can enjoy guided tours.

Alltech founder Dr. Pearse Lyons comes from Ireland and is a master of his craft. Five generations have been involved with whisky making in his home town. He says of the Bourbon: “The character of the Bourbon is closely linked to the water in the city of Lexington. This is why we named it after the river, Town Branch.” The ‘Pearse Lyons Reserve’ is a real highlight following numerous years of experimentation. This is the first Malt Whisky to be produced in Kentucky since 1919. The small yet refined product range is completed with a homage to Irish Coffee by the name of ‘Bluegrass Sundown’ which is made from coffee, sugar and Bourbon.

The distiller’s passion has already been suitably rewarded: the traditional Kentucky Distillers Association decided to expand its circle of distillery craftsmanship for the first time since it was founded in 1880 and invited Alltech to become a member.

The company also scored success at the World Spirits Award with gold for the Town Branch Bourbon and Pearse Lyons Reserve.
