Kesselbrüder: World-first from Vienna
At the beginning of December 2018, Florian Koller, Thomas Tirmantinger and Achim Brock presented ‘Klimt Wien Gin’. They wanted a memorial for the Art Nouveau painter and to capture the way of life at the turn of the century in a bottle. “We have the philosophy, we have the ingenious product and we have the patron saint of the creative Viennese eroticism: Gustav Klimt.” This is how Achim Brock describes the idea behind the gin creation. Florian Koller continues: “Gustav Klimt represents the intellectual, charming, creative, deca-dent and erotic Vienna from the past and the modern day. We absolutely wanted to focus on that.” Thomas Tirmantinger enthuses on the effect of the superplants involved: “Lady’s mantle is one of our favourites, this plant that is indigenous to Europe has a relaxing effect on the female lower abdomen, the stinging nettle stimulates blood circulation in the genitals, and the superplant, the bishop’s cap cactus from Japan, increases libido and semen production in men.”
13 months of intensive product development were necessary to create the first ‘functional erotic gin in the world’. Eight highly dosed, strongly aphrodisiac botanicals were added to the basic recipe using a special mac-eration procedure whereby the gin gains in maturity, potency, expression and eroticism. The mostly indige-nous botanicals can be clearly recognised, produced in a special infusion procedure.
At the World Spirits Award, there was silver for Wien Gin and Klimt Wien Gin.

Senor Ron: A feast for the senses
In COVID-19 times, the yearning for lightheartedness and sociable togetherness has increased greatly among many people. This drove a few ‘crazy Berlin guys’, Steven-Peer Gattermann, Maik Thiele and Patrick Wiese, to launch a crazy project: offering the experience of the Caribbean ‘way of life’. Inspired by unforgettable sociable moments in the Caribbean, they wanted to redefine rum. They chose to move away from the ‘rather dusty image of old pirate stories’ towards a pure zest for life and an exotic and fruity taste experience. The USP of the product is its taste. It is not a classic rum or simple blend but an exclusive composition of select rums from the Caribbean with the natural aromas of fresh fruits.
Various rum blends, which are the raw ingredients, come from the Dominican Republic, and are then brought to Spain and stored in sherry barrels. Then they travel to the far north of Germany, for further processing near Flensburg, where they add the trademarked essence, developed over many years of work. It contains hints of mango, banana, pineapple and other fruits and is soaked in rum again. The process is finalised by filling into manually designed, white bottles with labels artistically created by hand.

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.
