Emperador Distillers – Filipino premium products
Emperador Distillers (EDI) is the largest spirits company in the Philippines and introduced their first brandy label in 1990. Before that, established manufacturers of gin and rum dominated the country’s spirit market. EDI managed to create a demand for brandy through dynamic marketing and high product quality. These days, this is sold in 40 countries in Asia, North America, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. With Emperador Light, in 2010 EDI reacted to the growing market for alcoholic drinks with low alcohol content, thereby targeting younger consumers.
In 2014 and 2015, EDI took over Whyte and Mackay in Great Britain and entered the market for Scotch whisky, and with the purchase of the brandy and sherry segments of Beam Suntory – Bodegas Fundador – in February 2016, the entire spirits business was strengthened. As a global company they are now able to benefit from a worldwide sales network which is represented by a wide range of brandies and whiskies on the market. In addition, there is also rum and aromatised vodka, gin and tequila under the brand name ‘The BaR’.
EDI has a comprehensive countrywide sales network, which gives them a clear competitive advantage. Over 22 sales offices distribute the products to more than 121,000 sales points – involving around 1,000 employees and more than 500 vehicles. Most of the sales representatives are employed internally, which has contributed to higher motivation and thus to the strong increase in sales.
At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Rum Zabana Premium White.

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.

Rhumerie de Chamarel - Rhumerie de Chamarel – A newcomer with vision
This high-quality rum from the island of Mauritius is produced in line with ecological guidelines. The products are distributed in Austria by the company Wind GmbH, based in Traiskirchen (www.wind-plast.at).
The road leads through extensive pineapple plantations and fields of sugar cane up to the distillery at an altitude of 300 m in the South-West of the island. Designed by a renowned architect, the building is elegant and authentic and a fine example of modern construction with its natural materials such as wood, stone and water. The comprehensive concept also incorporates the L’Alchimiste restaurant where up to 80 guests can savour the sophisticated regional cuisine. At the “Sugar Cane Spirit” boutique, various types of rum are on offer (White Rum, Le Coeur de Chauffe (fine brandy), Rum Paille (stored in wooden casks), Rum Arrange (flavoured with fruits and spices) as well as an exclusive clothing range, hand-made products and a small jewellery collection.
The location and climate of the fertile valley promote the growth and quality of the sugarcane. The sugarcane is harvested by hand in the early hours of the morning and processed at the mill within four hours. The fields are not normally burnt, as is usually the case, to make harvesting easier. Even when distilling at the highest modern levels of technology, nothing is wasted: the bagasse – the fibrous remnants of the sugar production process – is burnt to obtain energy. The chimney contains the very latest smoke filters and the ash is used to fertilise the fields.
The company yet again impressed at the World-Spirits Award, with one gold and four silvers.
