Hohenkammer Castle – Setting an example with sustainability

An idyllic rural landscape, traditional cultivation and sustainable agriculture – all just 30 kilometres from Munich. The beautifully restored Hohenkammer Castle is located in a small community with a history dating back over 1,200 years and houses a top-class seminar centre. The castle offers 162 rooms, 26 seminar and conference rooms plus various areas for hosting celebrations.

The agricultural estate of Gut Eichethof comprises 300 hectares of land and 500 hectares of forest which also supply raw materials for energy production. The area has been consistently ecologically farmed since 1992 and has enjoyed considerable economic success. The principle of sustainability is a means of devising a successful future rather than a return to the good old days.

Guided by high quality standards, scientific expertise is just as important as practical experience. The core business of farming is the reproduction of organic seeds of which the estate is one of the biggest producers, including being number one in Bavaria. Angus cattle, Mangalitza pigs and various chicken species are reared here for the company’s own use. Further top products based on its own organic farming include pumpkin seed oil and various fruit vinegars.

More than 1,000 fruit trees and shrubs provide the raw materials for fine brandies ranging from apple to damson. 24 high-quality products are available nowadays, of which five are matured in Italian oak casks. The brandies are sold in particular to guests at the conference centre and at the castle restaurant.

At the World Spirits Award, the company achieved classification as a First Class Distillery 2014. There was also gold for the Rheinischer Bohnapfel (apple brandy), Traubenbrand Holzfass (a grape brandy aged in a wooden cask) and Vogelbeer Maulbeerfass (rowanberry aged in a mulberry cask).

Fallstein Destillerie: Modern traditionalists

“The sustainable handling of our resources and products is more than an alternative attitude to life – it is the pure spirit of the times that our family has been practising for nearly 200 years.” The organic enterprise on a listed farm in Rohrsheim in the Harzvorland region farms around 40 hectares of land in a variety of ways in accordance with natural land principles. Apart from crops and a five-hectare walnut plantation, there are also valuable meadow orchards with old fruit trees and bushes, whose harvest is especially suitable for being processed to distillates. The crops and fruit benefit from favourable climatic conditions and rolling slopes, as well as from the soil quality on the heat-retaining rock and minerals of the elevations between Elm and Harz. The homemade basic ingredients are used for high-quality delicatessen products such as various fruit spreads and edible oils, extracted by means of careful cold pressing – along with a variety of spirits.

Apart from the self-cultivated wheat, the clear water of the Harz springs is a significant component for an excellent mash. The ecologically cultivated botanicals, hand-picked according to family tradition, give the gin its special character during the distillation in a small batch procedure. When finding a name for organic quality whisky, Korn (grain schnapps) and gin, family tradition comes into play: they bear the first names of the founding father Carl Polland through to the youngest offspring Luca, Theo and Tom.

At the World Spirits Award, gold was awarded to TOMMYS Dry Gin (30 Botanicals), and silver to TOMMYS Barille New Western Dry Gin (32 Botanicals) and TOMMYS Craft Gin.

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.
