The distillation of spirits in Willisau has a long tradition spanning over one hundred years, starting back in 1918. Today, over 100 staff work in one of Europe’s most modern distilleries. Distillerie Willisau produces hot beverages and is the number one for fruit spirits. As the only brand advertised nationwide in the fruit spirit segment, Distillerie Willisau is among the top ten most popular spirits in Switzerland. A proper Kafi Luz should be so clear that you can still read a newspaper when looking through the glass. Whether the Kafi Luz then also tastes good is not only down to the correct preparation – the quality starts with the selection of the fruits for making the Distillerie Willisau spirit.

Sierra Tequila is one of Europe’s most well-known tequila brands. Products range from mixto tequilas to the pure agave line Sierra Antiguo, all the way through to the premium range Sierra Milenario.

Xellent is a traditional DIWISA brand that was born in 2003 with the creation of the first and only real Swiss vodka. Even back then, the products were what is known today as handcrafted or small batch. You could say that the brand was ahead of its time. What we do know for sure is that the brand is characterised by the finest Swiss raw ingredients, precise craftsmanship and passionate distilling. The unique character of Xellent spirits is down to the small batches produced and the expertise that goes into every bottle.

Russian Standard vodka strives to set the benchmark for Russian vodka quality. The brand is inspired by the formula for vodka that Dimitri I. Mendeleev supposedly drew up in 1894. Modern technology, top-quality winter wheat from the Russian steppes, crystal-clear water from Lake Ladoga and high-calibre filtration lead to a real Russian vodka that has become a byword for quality. Over the years, Russian Standard vodka has thus become the number one brand in Russia.

It goes without saying that the history of the «green fairy» predates the creation of Absinthe Kübler. However, it is thanks in no small part to Yves Kübler and his creations that we are now able to enjoy this drink from the past in all its glory. In Val-de-Travers – the traditional home of absinthe – Yves Kübler creates the various distillates of the Absinthe Kübler range according to recipes from his great-grandfather. This absinthe is made with tradition and a lot of passion, and is truly deserving of the Swiss cross that adorns the bottle.

While the rums from A.H. Riise no longer follow the original recipes from the Danish chemist Albert Heinrich Riise (1810–1882), his adventures are still part of all of today’s products. All rums in the A.H. Riise range have their own individual flavour, from sweet, exotic and typical of rum liqueur to spicy with notes of soaked raisins. Each rum grade represents a chapter in the story of A.H. Riise. These are anecdotes from a life at sea, from Denmark to stories from the island of St. Thomas – now part of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

You usually associate rum with places like the Caribbean, Central America and South America. But Europe? However, on the Canary Islands – more precisely on the island of La Palma near Tenerife – there are sugar cane plantations used by Aldea Distilleries S.L. to produce its Aldea Gran Reserva Familia rum. In contrast to other rum distillates, pressed, fermented sugar cane juice is used for the distillation of Aldea rum.

Despite the long tradition and history of American whiskey, the branch still features some innovative new creations. One of these is Bernheim Straight Wheat Whiskey. Instead of the minimum 51% corn as seen in bourbon, Bernheim is primarily made from wheat. Bernheim is aged seven years, and the wheat gives it a fine, mild and sweet taste that is markedly different from bourbon.

The origins of Black Tears can be traced back to Cuban music, namely «Lagrimas Negras» – a bolero song that tells a story of love and loss. Black Tears is distilled from selected molasses sourced from four mills in Ciego de Avila province. The rum is then flavoured with coffee and cocoa beans before being infused with the characteristic flavour of Ají Dulce peppers.

Bloom was created by Joanne Moore, one of the world’s first female master distillers of gin. Not only the design of the bottle promises a gin with a floral taste – when poured, the gin reveals fruity, gentle notes of pomelo, camomile and honeysuckle. These flavours are secondary to the typical juniper notes of the gin, which is not overbearing and provides the so-called «bloomy boom» – a full-bodied, floral bouquet in the glass.

Cachaçana do Brasil is Switzerland’s most popular cachaça brand. Among others, the cachaça is available at Denner – one of Switzerland’s biggest retailers. Cachaça is one of the national drinks of Brazil and is produced from sugar cane juice. In Europe, it is best known as an ingredient in a caipirinha.

Château du Breuil calvados has been produced for centuries in the castle of the same name in the heart of Normandy. The Château du Breuil brand portfolio includes many young and mature apple brandies, liqueurs and new creations, such as with a whisky finish. Only the best is extracted from the right apple types for each product, as demonstrated by the «AOC Pays d’Auge» certification. Calvados may not be the most fashionable drink among today’s consumers. However, innovation remains alive in Normandy, with new products created by the Château for use in contemporary settings.

Several hundred years ago, the Fraser clan relocated from France to the Scottish Borders, a lowland area spanning the border between England and Scotland. One of the clan descendants, Donald Fraser, earned a living by trading barley and producing whisky. Clan Fraser Blended Scotch Whisky is a unique blend of grain and malt whiskies that harks back to this historical heritage.

Curtain’s London Dry Gin is produced at Langley Distillery in London, and its strong juniper flavour is typical of a London dry gin. This is also a mark of quality and does not have to necessarily be distilled in London itself. London dry gin is obtained exclusively from ethanol of agricultural origin. Flavours must be natural or similar and are introduced all at once in the re-distillation phase. From this point on, no ingredients other than water may be added. Curtain’s London Dry Gin has been an established name in the gin world for many years.

The Symington family has made Dow’s port since the 18th century. The history of the name can be traced back to the import of Portuguese wine to England. Over the years, the company grew and eventually acquired vineyards in the Douro Valley in Portugal. The different styles of Dow’s port all originate from here, from vintage bottlings to tawny ports and white port. The latter of these is so popular that it has become virtually a national aperitif as part of a white port and tonic.

Dubliner is an Irish whiskey made – as the name suggests – in the country’s capital. Currently, the company purchases the whiskey for its blend from other producers. However, with the construction of its own distillery and under the watchful eye of master distiller Darryl McNally, an own-made, mild, slightly fruity whiskey with beautiful malt flavours will soon be bottled here.

In addition to famous Irish whiskey brands, new, smaller distilleries are also making a name for themselves. One of these is The Dublin Liberties Distillery. Built in 2018, the distillery is carving out a niche in the Dublin whiskey landscape – thanks in no small part to talented master distiller Darryl McNally. As the year of construction of the distillery suggests, the current whiskeys are purchased elsewhere. However, the master distiller is on hand to create a unique blend that comes non-chill-filtered in the bottle. Own bottlings are planned for the future.

With its small-batch bottlings, the Elijah Craig brand is renowned for its exquisite whiskey taste – some in cask strength – and rare vintage bourbons. What they all have in common is that only the best casks are used – just as the person did who lent the brand his name. According to legend, the preacher Elijah Craig also dabbled in the distillation of spirits – until the fateful day when the barn where the casks were stored burned down. Undeterred, he continued to use the charred casks and found that this led to a change in the colour and flavour of the distillate. As a result of this discovery, he is now known as the father of bourbon.

The Escape7 brand includes a range of different products from the pouring segment. Of key importance here is to offer quality products at an ideal price/performance ratio. The range includes a London dry gin from G&J Greenall, one of London’s most renowned gin companies with a history dating back to 1761. It also includes two different blended rums from the Caribbean, plus the rum liqueur Mamajuana – the national drink of the Dominican Republic.

Manufactured by the Shapira family, the Evan Williams brand from the Heaven Hill Distillery has become the second most popular bourbon worldwide. The bourbon is named after the founder of the first licensed distillery on the banks of the Ohio River in 1783. Even today, the master distillers continue to do his name proud, using selected ingredients and careful storage methods to produce a premium Kentucky straight bourbon.

Finsbury Distilled London Dry Gin is one of the world’s oldest and most well-known gin brands still in production today. The Finsbury Distillery was founded in London by Joseph Bishop back in 1740. Since then, the Finsbury name has become a byword for the highest quality standards. In the same way as the Finsbury Distillery and quality go hand in hand, the name Finsbury itself has close associations with London. Finsbury is the only gin brand permitted to use the London coat of arms on its bottles and in its marketing materials. Both Finsbury products impress thanks to their pure gin flavour with elegant citrus notes.

Sophisticated, creative drinks do not always have to be alcoholic. The credo of the Fluère non-alcoholic distilled spirit is clear – playful and with an uncompromising taste! With three different versions of the non-alcoholic distillate, new drink creations can be developed or virgin and low-alcohol versions of classic drinks conjured up. Fluère is made for cocktail inventors, bar fans, party animals – anyone who appreciates a good drink and wants to live in the moment without sacrificing on taste when alcohol-free is the order of the day.

Mirco and Lorenz knew early on that they wanted to found a company. Their idea: to develop a kola that tasted better than that of the market leader. And the result is fritz-kola. What started out 20 years ago in a hall of residence in Hamburg has become a successful company. And the range of beverages has also expanded: the original fritz-kola is now accompanied by fritz-spritz and fritz-limo in a range of flavours, as well as fritz-mate and fritz-mischmasch. But there is always one constant: you’ll not find any artificial flavourings or colours in the fritz drinks.

Gancia was founded in 1850 by Carlo Gancia, the creator of the first Italian sparkling wine. Gancia is the global leader in the production of vermouth and diverse sparkling wines, from classic Pinot di Pinot, Prosecco and Asti to bottle-fermented Alta Langa. The company is one of few outside the Prosecco region who is permitted to produce the eponymous sparkling wine. Based in Canelli in the Italian region of Asti, Gancia currently sells its products in over 80 countries around the world.

The word moonshine conjures up a lot of images, not least since the television series «Moonshiners» became popular. Georgia Moon – which is filled in Mason jars and features old-style labelling – is a corn whiskey, meaning it is made from 80% corn and is stored briefly in previously used bourbon casks. This corn spirit is a homage to times where households distilled their own moonshine back in the Prohibition era.

Pleasure without compromise – that’s Ginoni. These non-alcoholic gin and tonic beverages taste great straight on ice or as a base for aperitif drinks, which are quick and easy to mix. Ginoni is made from real gin. Just a few drops of the aromatic distillate are enough to lend Ginoni its tangy taste. The premium gin is produced in Willisau by DIWISA, and the recipe for the tonic water also comes from this long-established distillery. Ginoni is available in three flavours: Classic, Lemon and Berry.

Simple, fresh botanicals and careful distillation in a small 100-litre still makes Gin Sul what it is – a Mediterranean gin distilled in Hamburg with proud Portuguese roots. Several of the botanicals that make Gin Sul so unique come from the country on the Atlantic coast. These include fresh rosemary, lemon, lavender and, in particular, cistrus. At the end of each year, the distillery produces a limited number of special edition bottles that are highly sought after among collectors.

Glenfarclas is renowned for producing traditional Speyside single malts with a strong sherry note. Over 52,000 casks where the fine spirits mature are stored at the distillery. Whisky has been made here in this lush green valley since 1844. Around 20 years later, John Grant purchased the distillery from its founders for 511 pounds and 19 shillings. Since then, the company has stayed in the family, with the secrets of the Glenfarclas Highland malt whiskies passed down through six generations.

What started out in 1830 as a brewery on the banks of the River Lossie near Elgin in Speyside was transformed into the Glen Moray Distillery towards the end of the century. Maybe it was the former tenants of the building and their beer barrels that gave the distillery the idea of cask blends. Whatever the reason, the distillery remains famous for its experimentation to this day. They not only bring new products onto the market on a regular basis, but also appeal to a new, wider public with their easily drinkable, playful distillates.

Godeau cognac is distilled from wine cultivated solely in the bordering regions of Charente and Charente-Maritime in France. All wines are analysed precisely and tasted prior to distillation. The master distiller then decides which grapes are chosen to give Godeau cognac its unique flavour. Godeau cognac is produced at the Distillerie de la Tour and has a powerful nose that is typical of cognac, not to mention an impressive finish.

Gold Label is one of DIWISA’s whisky brands and is blended from 15 different malt whiskies. The grain whisky originates from Girvan. The Girvan grain is used to make light, smooth whiskies and brings the character of the malt whisky to the fore. The brand symbol of Gold Label whisky is the puffin, which can be seen from the distillery on the nearby Ailsa Craig island.

Isola Verde is a DIWISA brand that includes eight classic Italian liqueurs, including amaretto, ristretto, nocciola, sambuca and aperitivo. Liqueur production has a centuries-old tradition in Italy, with the products enjoyed at different moments. Isola Verde is a typical Italian liqueur.

Authenticity and fruitiness are just two of the qualities associated with Karibso fruit liqueurs. The taste of white peach, blue curaçao and passion fruit in cocktails is in no way artificial, but instead conveys an authentic freshness. This means that Karibso fruit liqueurs can also be used in cakes and other desserts.

Landtwing is considered one of Switzerland’s most creative and innovative fruit spirit brands, having embodied 100% ‘Suisse Garantie’ quality for more than 150 years. With its single-varietal Williams pear, Red Damson plum, Jonagold apple, Quince, Raspberry and Vowi cherry distillates, the choice is clear, while only Swiss chestnut wood is used for the maturation of the barrel-aged variants Pear, Plum and Apple. In its reinterpretation of tried and true classics, Landtwing is at the confluence of tradition and modernity.

As the name suggests, there is a colourful story behind Larceny. Back in the 1870s, distillery warehouses were under the control of the U.S. Treasury for taxation and quality control purposes. As a bonded treasury agent, John E. Fitzgerald not only had the keys to these warehouses but also a particularly discerning palate for fine whiskey. As the story goes, Fitzgerald apparently confiscated large quantities of whiskey for his own personal «inspection», with the barrels eventually becoming known around the distillery as «Fitzgerald barrels».

High-quality fruit brandies can only be made from the finest ingredients. Whether fruit can be turned into a fine brandy depends on the amount of sugar, acid and water in the fruit, plus its natural yeast and preservative content. To make La Valadière, the carefully harvested fruits are mashed in Willisau. Depending on the fruit type, the fermentation of the mash takes three to four weeks. The resulting alcohol, flavours and aromas are then captured in the final distillation. This ensures a very special, aromatic drink. Served cold, La Valadière is an exquisite digestif.

Many years ago, the Scottish Borders region between Scotland and England was home to numerous whisky distilleries. However, this boom eventually came to an end with the closure of the last distillery in 1837. With the opening of «The Borders Distillery» in 2018, four whisky aficionados are reviving this tradition and making their mark on the Scottish whisky map. The barrels are already filled with the distillery’s own single malts that will eventually be launched on the market when mature. In the meantime, Lower East Side – a blended malt featuring whiskies from five distilleries – is currently being bottled in Hawick.

While largely unknown in Europe, Mellow Corn is one of the pioneers of bourbon as we know it today. At the start of the 19th century, corn distillate and many other products were transported in barrels. As journeys back then could last for several months, people discovered that the distillate changed in colour and taste by the time it reached its destination. Both the distillate and its label in retro design hark back to this pioneering time.

As early as 1949 – several years before the Japanese whisky boom of the 1980s – the family-run company Hombo Shuzo Co. did some pioneering work in the field of Japanese whisky. Under the Mars name, the distillery started producing a range of single malts, blended malts and other blends for the international market in 1985. In doing so, it uses both young and mature whiskies stored across Japan in different climatic conditions. Mars is thus able to offer a diverse yet compact collection of Japanese whiskies.

Meteoro mescal is an agave spirit made in Oaxaca, Mexico, featuring the characteristic powerful taste and smoky notes expected from a classic mescal. Meteoro gets its name from an old legend. Many years ago, a flash of lightning lit up the heavens. Thunder rumbled over the land before many small meteors fell to earth, with one causing a crater. The local maestro mezcalero decided to use the rock inside the crater to smoke his fresh agave and create a mescal from it.

The origins of this major name can be found in the old Moorish roots of the Morin family. Since its foundation in 1822, Morin Père et Fils has preserved local traditions and contributed to the reputation of Burgundy wines in France and abroad. Located in the heart of Normandy in the Pays d’Auge, these outstanding distillates are created from specially selected fruits from the local area, where trees grow on hillsides in shallow, calcareous soil. The uniqueness of the brand is also reflected in the shape of its bottles. This is a digestif for true connoisseurs.

Coriander, cardamom and pepper are just three of the many oriental herbs and spices that can be smelled and tasted when enjoying Opihr gin. Like the drink itself, the bottle design also has an oriental flair. The oriental spiced taste of Opihr London dry gin gives a gin and tonic, mule or red snapper its own unique taste.

The family-run company «Oliver y Oliver» from Santo Domingo is the driving force behind Opthimus rum. The current patron Pedro Ramon L. Oliver set out on a quest to trace the history of his great-great-grandfather, who was well known as a rum producer during his time in Cuba. Taking this history as an example, Opthimus is a byword for premium-quality rum from the Dominican Republic, and impresses above all thanks to its extremely balanced taste and special finishes in single malt or port casks.

Grappa Paesanella is both a clear, traditional, intense grappa and a fine distillate with smooth amber tones. With the Paesanella brand, DIWISA boasts a classic range of grappas consisting of seven different Monovitigno products, a Grappa Cru Riserva made from a selection of grapes from the most renowned Italian wine regions, and also traditional grappas with and without Erba Ruta.

Pikesville is a homage to the rye whiskeys manufactured in the 1890s in Maryland. This was the boom time for rye spirit, which was brought to an abrupt end with the dawn of Prohibition. Nowadays, rye whiskey can be found in both classic and modern cocktail recipes. This is because Pikesville – and rye whiskey in general – has a spicy taste that gives every drink a special twist.

Rittenhouse Rye is a classic American rye whiskey from the Heaven Hill Distillery. This whiskey type was popular before Prohibition, as its spicy taste made it the perfect ingredient for cocktails such as a manhattan. Rittenhouse – based on the classic production of Pennsylvania rye – is thus an interesting product for barkeepers and mixologists alike, and is now making a minor revival.

There aren’t many well-known rum brands in Costa Rica. This is because there are only very few independent distilleries outside the state manufacturer FANAL (Fabrica Nacional de Licores). One of these distilleries is the Costa Rican Rum Company, which was founded in 2016. With the Ron Jaguar Edicion Malacrianza White Rum, the company has already launched a 100% Costa Rican rum on the market. For its mature rums, the company still uses molasses distillate from various countries across Mesoamerica. However, rum connoisseurs will also soon be able to enjoy pure, mature Costa Rican rums from the company’s own two distilleries.

Šamar is a young Serbian brand that breaks with the conventions of traditional fruit brandy, also known as “rakija”. Šamar, Serbian for a slap or blow in the face – or better still, a “pat on the cheek” – heralds a small revolution in the way rakija is made and consumed, and how it tastes. While honouring the heritage and tradition of fruit brandy production, Šamar is also pioneering urban, vibrant and modern consumer events. Quince meets plum to create a rakija with traditional roots that’s born in the modern world.

The Santos Dumont rum brand is a tribute to the explorer and aviator Alberto Santos Dumont (1873-1932). The Brazilian visionary pioneered the commercialisation of powered flight. Based on its origins, this rum cachaça made from sugar cane juice, which is traditionally produced in Brazil, is used as the basis for the rums. For a rounded flavour, all Santos Dumont rums are enhanced with molasses rum from the West Indies and Central America.

Saint James originates from the Caribbean island of Martinique, where the Saint James distillery was founded back in 1765. The rhum agricole made at the distillery soon became established and was exported to various countries across Europe, and is now known the world over. All products are made from sugar cane juice, which gives them a fresh and fruity taste. The geographical location offers the perfect conditions for optimal sugar cane growth. When making Saint James, there is a particular focus on authenticity – something which is becoming increasingly important nowadays.

This world-famous spirit comes from Austria, where Sebastian Stroh founded the company back in 1832. For more than 188 years, STROH spirits have impressed thanks to their authentic, aromatic taste. STROH is an «Inländer» rum and thus a protected Austrian speciality. It is characterised by its delicate, aromatic rum aroma and harmonious, floral taste. It is commonly seen in a range of hot drinks such as hot toddies, Jägertee and grog, and also in cocktails, punch and for preparing a variety of desserts.

Three Sixty Vodka is a German premium vodka from Schwarze & Schlichte GmbH, a family-run business in its 12th generation. The wheat used for the production is 100% organic. After an elaborate four-step distillation process, the vodka is purified by diamond filtration. By removing even the smallest suspended particles from the distillate, this produces a particularly pure and mild vodka. Featuring a striking facet-cut appearance, the elegance of the bottle’s design conspires with the black velvet label to underscore the high quality of the Three Sixty Vodka.

Thomas Dakin is a juniper-heavy classic gin named after the founding father of English gin. According to legend, he created the first recipe for making high-quality gin in 1716 in northern England. While the recipe of today is only a recreation, it does get some of its inspiration from the past. For example, a little horseradish is added to various gins to give it a spicy kick.

Tucano is a liqueur and cachaça brand owned by DIWISA. Tucano cachaça is sourced from the Fazenda Soledade distillery in Brazil. The liqueurs range from fruity passion fruit liqueurs to cocktail liqueurs for a «Sex on the Beach», plus triple sec. Tucano impresses thanks to its good price/performance ratio and Caribbean look.

Swiss tradition and customs are at the forefront of the Ueli’s brand. Ueli’s features genuine specialities and rarities from yesteryear that are part of Swiss heritage and should not be forgotten. These include Ueli’s Enzian made from fresh gentian root (Gentiana lutea), Ueli’s Wacholder made from natural juniper berries, and Ueli’s Herdöpfeler made from potatoes. Ueli’s specialities are made in Willisau according to complex original recipes from years ago.

Wash Saloon Shots were created in 2015 by three organisers of the Teffli Rally in Ennetmoos. They wanted to create a shot that’s easy to serve and yet consists of two different beverages that meet in the mouth and not before. The result was the Washing Machine shot. In a bid to simplify the original, which is normally served in two tumblers, they hit on the idea of the dual-chamber beaker. The brand has now grown with the addition of the Tumbler and Fabric Softener shots in 2019. All have the same goal – to blend two beverages in the mouth for a stunning taste combination.

White Claw, the number 1 Hard Seltzer in the USA, is now finally available in Switzerland. This hugely popular low-carb beverage is as simple as it’s inspired: pure mineral water, fermented alcohol and a hint of summery fruit flavour – all combined in a stylish can.

White Claw is a gluten-free thirst quencher containing only 95 calories; as a light alternative to beer, it suits any occasion.

As the name suggests, Willisauer Ringli liqueur from DIWISA is based on the traditional Ringli Guetzli biscuit from Willisau. Not only the bottle is reminiscent of a classic Guetzli. The liqueur also has a balanced honey, caramel and lemon taste, just like the popular biscuit.

Manufactured in Trinidad & Tobago, not much is known about the people behind Zaya. This means more attention can be paid to the product in the glass. Matured for between 6 and 16 years, the rums strike a full-bodied, harmonious balance between fruitiness and sweetness, rounded off with a little spice.
