To ensure the safety of beverages during the national holiday season, we are presenting the following tips to avoid buying counterfeit products from unknown sources.

QUALITY ASSURANCE STAMP

COUNTERFEIT BOTTLE AND LOT NUMBER

When purchasing any beverage product, always check that the lid is intact and does not show any signs of being damaged or opened. Also, the plug stickers and seals must be of good quality.
Product brand labels must be printed in high quality, crisp, and clear, and if it is blurry or misspelled, it is likely to be a counterfeit product.
The LOT number is laser printed on the bottom of the packaging of each beverage bottle. On all genuine packaging, brand owners print the LOT number, which allows them to track the product’s origin and date of manufacture.


It should be noted that the counterfeit products with has same LOT number are removed on purpose and suppressed to prevent the possibility of re-use and traceability on the bottle.

Also, for high alcohol volume products, the bottle is sometimes with or without a bottle measure pourer for controlling the amount of liquid, which varies depending on the intended use (catering, events) by the manufacturer of the product.

Vecchia Romagna

Since the beginning of the 18th century, in France, the Bouton family has dedicated itself to the noble art of distillation, enriching with formulas and secrets a precious notebook destined to be handed down from generation to generation: the Bouton Recipe Book.

The success of their spirits was such that they earned the title of suppliers to the imperial house of Napoleon I. With the fall of the regime, the most talented of the heirs, Jean Bouton, decides to undertake a long journey to Italy, bringing with him the famous family recipe book.

More than a hundred years later, in 1939, the company chose to enhance the Italian personality of the product and renamed it Vecchia Romagna Buton Brandy.

In 1999 the company was acquired by Gruppo Montenegro which, through the commercial success and the renovation of the historic production plant, gave new life to the business, making it a flagship of the Italian liquor industry.

VOLCAN DE MI TIERRA.

The History of Tequila
The Aztecs first used the agave plant to make a drink called pulque. This drink was made by fermenting the sap of the agave plant, and it was used for religious and ceremonial purposes. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived in Mexico, they began to make their own version of pulque, which they called mezcal. Mezcal was made with the same agave sap, but it was distilled, and it quickly became popular among the Spanish settlers.
Tequila was first produced in the 16th century in the town of Tequila, which is located in the state of Jalisco. The first tequila distillery was built by the Marquis of Altamira. Tequila was originally made with a type of agave known as Blue Weber Agave (agave azul). This variety of agave is still used to make tequila today.

How is Tequila Crafted
Tequila is a distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant. The drink is typically composed of 40% – 60% alcohol by volume (80 – 120 proof) and is made in Mexico. Tequila is made from the heart of the agave plant, which is called the piña. The piña is roasted above-ground in an oven and then shredded or grounded into a pulp. Then, the pulp is mixed with water and yeast and fermented in large vats for two to three weeks. After fermentation, the mixture is distilled two or three times to produce the final product.

NEW PRODUCT | VOLCAN DE MI TIERRA
BEFORE TEQUILA WAS A DRINK IT WAS A VOLCANO

Volcan de mi tierra’s true beginnings date back over 200,000 years, when the “tequila” volcano erupted, and nourished the soil of the jalisco region in Mexico.

Volcan de mi tierra, which translates into “land of the volcano”, embodies a celebration of provenance and legacy.
Volcan de mi tierra harmonizes 300 years of passion and entrepreneurship, joining the gallardo family’s heritage and deep mexican roots with moët hennessy’s commitment to craftsmanship and savoir faire.

BLANCO
CRISP FLAVORS FROM THE HEART OF THE AGAVE.

Volcan de mi tierra blanco blends the herbal, citrus and spicy indicative of the lowlands with fruity notes like cherry and pear from the highlands. Its taste combines sweet agave notes with delicate hints of grapefruit and a touch of black pepper spice, resulting in a well-balanced finish.

CRISTALINO
AGED TEQUILA WITH AN UNPRECEDENTED COMPLEXITY.

We pushed the boundaries of aging tequila by blending añejo and extra-añejo. Then we removed the color and the most prominent wooden notes to keep the crisp flavor of the agave.
Volcan de mi tierra cristalino is a fusion of tobacco, dried fruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, and cooked agave aromas in this unique and elegant style.
It unveils, its best aromas sipped neat or savored chilled on the rocks.

White Claw Hard Seltzer

THE NEW WAVE OF REFRESHMENT
Sparkling water with alcohol and a hint of natural flavours

What is hard seltzer?
Seltzer water is carbonated water that contains no CO2 but is infused with less alcohol, making HARD SELTZER an alcohol-containing beverage.
Hard Seltzer, or hard sparkling water (carbonated water with alcohol), is a low-calorie drink popular among health-conscious individuals, especially in the U.S. It contains fewer carbohydrates, and its alcohol content is lower compared to other types of alcoholic beverages. HARD SELTZER’s alcohol content typically ranges between 4-5%, much lower than most alcoholic beverages.


In 1993, Australia’s Two Dogs introduced an alcoholic lemon-flavored drink that was marketed as refreshing and low in sugar. This was followed by brands like Hooper’s Hooch, Mike’s Hard Lemonade, which became popular.

White Claw Hard Seltzer is gluten-free, with natural flavors, containing very few calories and less sugar. One serving contains only 2 grams of sugar, making it a light and refreshing choice for health-conscious consumers.
If you are seeking a healthier beverage choice, White Claw Hard Seltzer is the ideal option for you.

MSM Group announces majority sale to Jebsen & Jessen Group

This strategic sale will enhance Jebsen & Jessen’s geographic expansion, strengthen its distribution capabilities and networks while securing MSM’s long term growth and future development in Mongolia.

Agricultural and Beverage Conglomerate, MSM Group today announces the sale of a majority stake to Jebsen & Jessen Group thereby securing a continuously growing future for the company and its employees.

As one of the leading conglomerates in Mongolia, MSM Group spans multiple sectors and since 1998, has been playing a pivotal role in introducing premium international brands to the Mongolian market; it remains the sole distributor and partner for more than 50 of these brands in the country today. With over 650 employees, MSM Group operates showrooms, workshops, warehousing facilities and sales outlets in the central area of the capital city Ulaanbaatar, as well as South Gobi and other areas of Mongolia.

Founders and primary shareholders Laurenz Melchers and David Reiner, along with their equity partner Mongolian Opportunities Fund, are excited with this announcement.

This acquisition brings together the technological know-how and strength of two family businesses serving complementary markets. Both groups are no stranger to each other, sharing not only historical family business connections, but also distribution agreements with MSM having served as a distributor of Jebsen & Jessen Group’s industrial products in Mongolia for over a decade.

Securing a strong future for MSM and its employees

For nearly 30 years, the founders built a future for MSM by funding its expansion with continuous re-investments into the fast-paced growth opportunities of Mongolia. They are fully aware of their responsibility towards Mongolia, the business and, especially, its employees.

As such, in preparation for this day, they ensured that an exceptional management team was set-up and given the opportunity to independently run the day-to-day management of the business with great success.

In order to guarantee that MSM continued to thrive for many decades to come, they made the difficult decision to search for a family business with shared values and long-term history but also the capital strength and international presence, to take over the reins at MSM.

It has taken some time to find the right partner and it is therefore a sad and a happy moment for the two Founders to make this announcement but they are comfortable with the notion that MSM’s future is in good hands; especially since they will remain as shareholders in MSM and will also be growing their other business interests in Ulaanbaatar, thus staying loyal to Mongolia for many years to come.

“Having known Heinrich Jessen, Chairman of Jebsen & Jessen for many years, both in a professional and personal capacity, both David and I are assured that this is the right step and the perfect group to entrust the future of our beloved MSM and its employees for the many years to come” said Laurenz Melchers Chairman of MSM Group

In addition, both MSM founders and Jebsen & Jessen Group want to welcome Mark Gabel to the new shareholding structure of MSM; Mark will remain CEO of MSM and they know he will take full advantage of all the synergies and opportunities that the Jebsen & Jessen Group can provide to continue to successfully grow MSM for the years ahead.

The transaction took effect after approval by the Mongolian authorities. LCA Solutions, a Hong Kong regulated Multi Family Office, acted as financial advisor to the Founders of MSM. Wschong & Co in Hong Kong, Mishcon de Reya in London and Melville Erdenedalai in Ulaanbaatar acted as legal advisors for the different Founders while Herbert Smith Freehills in Hong Kong acted for Mongolian Opportunities Fund.

Expanding market reach, capabilities and synergies for growth

With this announcement, Jebsen & Jessen Group takes a market leading position in the fast-growing market of Mongolia and another step in its continuous expansion beyond its established market strongholds in South East Asia.

“We are delighted to be welcoming MSM Group as part of the Jebsen & Jessen family. The acquisition is a strategic move that aligns with the goal of expanding our global footprint, and enhancing our industrial and distribution capabilities,” said Jebsen & Jessen Group CEO Per Magnusson. “MSM Group’s leading market position in Mongolia, its strong management team and workforce, and its diverse businesses will be a valuable addition to our portfolio. We will benefit from the synergies that we can now leverage across these activities.”

For MSM Group, this acquisition facilitates access to the extensive resources and expertise of Jebsen & Jessen Group, offering new avenues for growth and development. MSM Group will become the seventh business unit within Jebsen & Jessen Group. MSM Group will continue to operate under its current company name and leadership, and maintain its commercial presence with all operations and business proceeding as usual.

“MSM Group has enjoyed strong growth over several decades to become the market leading company it is today. Joining Jebsen & Jessen Group provides us with the potential to scale our operations to levels we have never achieved before. These are exciting times for our teams and the brands we represent,” said MSM Group CEO Mark Gabel.
