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.

MBG International Premium Brands – Brands with added value

“We Love Liquids.” This slogan has accompanied MBG on its worldwide path of success since it was founded in 1993 under the name P.O.S. Marketing + Vertrieb GmbH: Strong brands have been established around the world in nearly 60 countries, with innovative own brands, renowned retail brands, great ideas and a lot of energy. With over 250 employees, the MBG Group currently generates over € 200 million and, every year, more than a million hectolitres are produced. The portfolio in Germany includes 12 own brands and 6 retail brands (from non-alcoholic drinks to low proof drinks to wines & spirits) for 90,000 customers.

“Our recipe for successful brands is the mixture of passion, conviction and knowledge of the market. If all goes well, names and products become new worlds which consumers love. Success is not always predictable, which means that courage is needed above all. The right moment has to be found and hard work put in, just like with a hit single: some are one hit wonders while others become classics.” Little can be added to this definition from Managing Director Andreas W. Herb. From the MBG Group headquarters in Paderborn, a great deal of expertise makes successful brands, tailored to the respective target group and the market segment. Many brands that are well known on shop shelves and in the gastronomy sector have played a role in the history of the company.

Destillerie Franz Bauer: Fruit in its clearest form/b>

The Franz Bauer distillery has been involved for 100 years in the processing and refinement of fruits and captures their aromatic richness in various distillates. The company was founded in 1920 as a distillery business in Gamlitz and Ehrenhausen. Some years later, the current company head office was acquired in Prankergasse. Today, Bauer is the only still existing distillery in Graz. The fruit and bonded distillery is among the most modern, steam-heated distillation plants in Europe. Over a million kilograms of fruit are distilled carefully here annually using the traditional method of double distillation.

Processing the fresh fruits requires great care in the various production steps. Each distillate has at least a year’s time to be able to fully develop, and is stored in various stainless steel, wooden or clay containers. The result: consistent quality, bottle for bottle – for 100 years. This is what sets the Franz Bauer Distillery apart. The ‘Distillery Tour’, which includes a tasting (detailed information at: www.bauerspirits.com), provides an insight into the entire production process.

The Master Class Distillery 2021 and World Class Distillery 2021 (Distillery of the Year 2021 – Gold & World Spirits Award) received double gold for Green Panther Kürbiskernlikör (pumpkin seed liqueur) (Spirit of the Year 2021) and Wodka Mikitra, and in addition 24 golds and 13 silvers.

  • Armagnac
Château de Laubade: Armagnac in its purest form

The largest estate in the Armagnac region has been under the ownership of the Lesgourgues family for three generations. The Château is located at the heart of the prestigious Bas Armagnac region and was founded in 1870. It was purchased by the grandfather of the current owners, brothers Arnaud and Denis, in 1974. The family empire grew over the years to include various other vineyards (Bordeaux, Graves and Madiran). The Ugni Blanc (47%), Baco (30%), Colombard (15%) and Folle Blanche (8%) varieties are cultivated over an area of 103 hectares, forming a broad basis for the refinement of the various quality Armagnacs.

Here, the focus has been on sustainable cultivation for more than 40 years, and so some 600 sheep live on the estate, grazing between the rows of vines and providing plenty of natural fertiliser. More than 2,800 casks containing 430 litres are distributed among seven cellars. Only the best Gascony oak wood is used to make the 150 new casks required each year and these are produced at the company’s own barrel-makers. The ‘treasure chamber’ of this traditional company contains excellent products from more than 80 vintage years dating as far back as 1893. The ‘Methuselahs’ – distilled before 1930 – are stored in glass containers in a room that goes by the name ‘Le Paradis’. The ‘heavenly’ products made by this market leader are exported to more than 50 countries and are ambassadors for French lifestyle and culture.

This Master Class Distillery 2022 received gold for Château de Laubade Les Curiosités l'Enchanteur, Château de Laubade Intemporel 12 Ans Armagnac and Château de Laubade Cask Strength 2003, and silver for Château de Laubade Vintage 1973 and Château de Laubade Vintage 1982.
