LIEBELEI: Organic liqueur manufactured in Chemnitz

Juergen Lange and Thomas Rebsch are the creative minds behind the small but outstanding production facility in Chemnitz, where organic egg liqueur is manufactured through careful manual work, 130,000 bottles a year: along with the bestseller ‘Pur’ made of organic eggs and bourbon vanilla, also the creamy ‘Schokokuss’ made with three types of cocoa, ‘Spektakulatius’ with its very own blend of spices and the ‘Flotte Orange’ with a hint of organic orange oil. Natural ingredients are exclusively used, without any aromatic substances, colouring agents or additives.

It all started with a romance across many kilometres, during which homemade egg liqueur was given as mutual gifts by Juergen and Thomas. Over the course of time, the recipes were refined and they decided to let family and friends enjoy them too. This heralded the birth of LIEBELEI LIKÖRE and ‘Pur’ soon developed into the ‘must have’ for enthusiasts. The egg liqueur was offered for the first time in 2017 at the Chemnitz Christmas market and quickly sold out. Four weeks later, online sales were launched. Over the years, its presence and turnover has increased steadily and many contacts were forged, because the markets were an optimal multiplier – until they were all cancelled due to Covid. Luckily, the turnover shortfall could be largely compensated for online. In 2021, production was switched to organic. In the meantime, the products are listed at over 300 retailers and suppliers. The next goals are wholesalers and expansion to Austria and Switzerland. The team is growing and a new production building is being opened.

At the World Spirits Award, gold was awarded to the Liebelei organic egg liqueur Pur.

Casa Maestri: A long, loyal love of tequila

The Destiladora del Valle de Tequila was founded in the year 2000 by Michael and Celia Maestri, who come from families with deep roots in the Mexican tequila industry. Together, the couple have been involved in the production of tequila for over 70 years – perfect conditions for extra smooth tequila. The result of these efforts has resonated around the world. In addition, they produce for 90 other companies.

Casa Maestri was able to establish itself as the leading contract manufacturer of tequila in Mexico and the eleventh largest exporter within a relatively short time, despite the traditional main competitors. The flagship brand Reserva de MFM is a homage to the blue agave that is cultivated in the hills of Tequila, Jalisco. For this purpose, Michael Maestri conceived a special aroma and taste profile with the well-known Maestra Tequilera Ana Maria Romero.

Priority is given to agaves with a higher sugar content as a basis for higher alcohol production during the fermentation and an increase accordingly of the ester volumes as a basis for more taste. The removal of as many leaves as possible reduces the bitterness and ensures a purer aroma in the end product. The piñas are cooked for a long time in traditional ovens with thick stone walls, making the fibres softer and converting the complex starches into fermentable sugars. After hashing and grinding, the syrup is fermented freely in large tanks. The longer the process, the tangier and more aromatic the tequila is. It is distilled in 5,000-litre copper pot stills.

At the World Spirits Award, gold was awarded to Blanco Casa Maestri Reserva de MFM, Reposado Casa Maestri Reserva de MFM and Añejo Casa Maestri Reserva de MFM.
