    BOSS Black Eyewear with Alex Thomson in his successful attempt to set the new solo monohull transatlantic record for 60-foot Open monohulls The British skipper left Ambrose Lighthouse (USA) on July 17th at 19.09GMT. On July 26th at 17:17 GMT he crossed the finish line located at Lizard Point (UK) after 8 days 22 hours 8 minutes at sea. On board his racing yacht he chose to wear mod. BOSS 0441/S sunglasses, one of the new styles of the BOSS Black Eyewear Collection 2012 Padua, July 27th, 2012 – British skipper Alex Thomson - major talent in international yacht racing sponsored by HUGO BOSS since 2003 - established a new solo record crossing the Atlantic Ocean from West to East on board his “HUGO BOSS” IMOCA 60. During his fantastic ride from continent to continent he chose to wear mod. BOSS 0441/S - one of the new sunglasses of the BOSS Black Eyewear Collection 2012. This style is the ideal eyewear for leisure time and outdoor activities: its pure injectionmoulded wraparound shapes combine a trendy feel with latest technical details, such as the adjustable metal nose pad, injected rubber and polarized lenses, ensuring excellent vision. The 38 year old sailor crossed the line at 17:17 GMT (18:17 BST) setting the new time at 8 days 22 hours 8 minutes, smashing by more than 24 hours the previous record, subject to ratification by the World Sailing Speed Record Council, which had been held for 10 years and arriving in time to get back for the London Olympic Opening ceremony.

  • Old Pulteney Makes Waves in Amsterdam Airport's Innovative
    For immediate release 24th January 2014 Old Pulteney Makes Waves in Amsterdam Airport’s Innovative New Shop Multi award-winning Old Pulteney Single Malt Whisky has installed Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport’s first branded sampling bar to bring the ‘maritime malt’ to life amongst global travellers. The bespoke fixture will command an eye catching presence in a new innovative sampling space within its Lounge 1 for two months until the 28th February. Created to showcase Old Pulteney’s award-winning Lighthouse Collection of single malt travel retail exclusive expressions, the installation, created by Jordan Design Limited, celebrates the brand’s unique maritime roots and its exciting year-long partnership with the famous Clipper 2013-14 Round the World Yacht Race. On the 1st September 2013, Old Pulteney entered the world’s longest ocean race for the first time by sponsoring one of the 12 ocean racing yachts competing in the 11 month round the world adventure. The 70-foot yacht, which is named ‘Old Pulteney’, is led by Dutch skipper Patrick Van Der Zijden, known as the ‘Flying Dutchman’. To celebrate this connection with The Netherlands, the freestanding airport display was designed to give customers the impression that they are looking out at a vast ocean from the deck of Old Pulteney. Decking floor graphics, yacht’s wheel and guard rails containing display bottles add to the illusion of a yacht helm, where the sampling activity takes place. Back projected movie footage from the Clipper 2013-14 Race and a series of stretch mirrors create a heaving, moving seascape that further enhances the maritime experience.

  • 'Maritime Malt' Whisky Teams up with Clipper Round the World Yacht
    Old pulteney and clipper race serve up global partnership ‘Maritime Malt’ Whisky Teams up with Clipper Round the World Yacht Race First time Team Sponsor, the single malt Scotch whisky Old Pulteney, today announced its yacht entry in the Clipper 2013‐14 Round the World Yacht Race. The yacht, which is part of the newly designed Clipper 70 fleet will debut in the ninth edition of the world’s longest ocean race and will be called Old Pulteney. Old Pulteney's decision to sponsor a yacht in the Clipper Race is rooted in the whisky's strong maritime heritage and long standing involvement with sailing. Pulteney Distillery is one of the most northerly on the UK mainland ‐ and whisky connoisseurs even say they can detect a faint hint of the sea in the delicious malt thanks to its windswept location and close proximity to the North Sea. Known as the ‘Maritime Malt,’ Old Pulteney holds the coveted title of ‘World Whisky of the Year’ for 2012 in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible – one of the industry’s highest accolades. The whisky achieved top ten status in the UK single malt market in 2012 as well as being the fastest growing single malt in Travel Retail and now positioned number 20 in the category. The brand is flourishing in many other countries around the world. Clipper Race Founder and Chairman, Sir Robin Knox‐Johnston toasted the announcement today and remarked: “When I set sail for my historic circumnavigation back in 1968, on board were 12 bottles of whisky and homemade fruitcake.
