Old Pulteney signs on as official sponsor for Round the Island Race
Participating in this sponsorship deal:
About Sponsor:
Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky is crafted at Pulteney Distillery in Wick, Scotland. The distillery was founded in 1826 by James Henderson at the height of Wick’s herring boom. The distillery lies in the heart of ‘Pulteneytown’, which was one of the most important and biggest herring fishing ports in Europe. Old Pulteney Single Malt whisky has a long standing association with the sea and is known as the “Maritime Malt.” Its carefully crafted taste carries the windswept and rugged character of the North, the salty and fresh air of the North Sea, and the distillery’s rich maritime heritage runs through every drop of this fine malt.
About Property:
The Round the Island Race is a yacht race around the Isle of Wight, organized by the Island Sailing Club based in Cowes. It is the fourth largest sporting event in the United Kingdom and is one of the most popular fixtures on the Solent racing calendar attracting competitors from Europe and the United States. The race course is 50 miles long, starting from the Royal Yacht Squadron in Cowes, racing westbound to The Needles, round St Catherine's Point and Bembridge Ledge back to the Solent. In 2007 JP Morgan Asset Management began sponsorship of the event in a deal lasting until 2010.
