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.

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.

Wilhelm Horn – Brand name spirits with a local tradition
In 1923, Wilhelm Horn opened a brandy and liqueur shop on Menckestraße in Leipzig, and following successful expansion, HORN’s Weinstuben wine lounge was opened in Südstadt in 1931. By 1933, the company had 46 branches and 75 subsidiaries, to which wine distillery and vermouth production were added. The newly constructed Wilhelm Horn Branntwein & Likörfabrik became a leading company in the German wine and spirits business, with a wide range of brand name products with the slogan “Wine and corn – always from Horn”. Following the disruption of the Second World War, the company was nationalised in 1972 and taken back into private ownership in 1991.
In 2005, Klaus Horn passed on the enormous potential of brand names and recipes in the Leipzig tradition to Wilhelm Horn Markenspirituosen GmbH, founded by Lutz Thielemann and Thomas Schneider. In the spirit of the founding family, they breathed new life into the company and moved to Bayrischer Platz. There they manufacture high proof spirits rooted in the region, such as Echter Leipziger Allasch, Leipziger Kräuter Wilhelm or Long Horn Handcrafted Lipsk Dry Gin. The juniper aroma combines with lavender, coriander and lime blossom – the latter a reverence to the many lime trees in the town of Leipzig, centuries ago known to the Slavs as Lipsk, the ‘lime place’.
At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for the caraway speciality Echter Leipziger Allasch, and silver for Long Horn Handcrafted Lipsk Dry Gin.
