Greenall’s The Original London Dry Gin and The Dubliner Irish Whiskey, both owned by international spirits group Quintessential Brands, are delighted to celebrate their partnership with the Jockey Club at this week’s Cheltenham Festival. 2016 sees Greenall’s as The Official Gin of the Cheltenham Festival for the second year and The Dubliner as The Official Irish Whiskey of the Cheltenham Festival for the first time. Activities are focused around St Patrick’s Day on 17th March for The Dubliner and throughout the Festival for Greenall’s, with G&T’s and British Cocktails being served over the four days, from 15th – 18th March.
The Cheltenham Festival, the world-famous horse racing event, is being held at The Jockey Club-owned Cheltenham Racecourse and Greenall’s The Original London Dry Gin is once again supporting the event, last year serving 22,400 Greenall’s drinks to racegoers and exciting British cocktails at the Final Flight Bar, such as the Greenall’s Spring Collins. The experiential activity includes the return of The Greenall’s Good Times band, the infamous bar parties in the Final Flight Bar and the Greenall’s Photo Booth, all centred around the #GoodTimeswithGreenall’s campaign.
The Dubliner Irish Whiskey is celebrating its first year as Jockey Club partner with The Dubliner Irish Whiskey Hot Toddy Bar, serving warming drinks such as The Dubliner Hot Toddy alongside some classic Irish whiskey cocktails. |
