With two Royal Warrants, Berry Bros. & Rudd are Britain’s oldest wine and spirit merchant and named No.3 Gin after their premise at No. 3 St James’s Street, London where they have traded from since 1698. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within Viscount Cowdray’s 16,000-acre estate in West Sussex, the game of polo has been played at Cowdray for over a century – the first competitive tournaments being recorded in 1910. The Cowdray Gold Cup Final is played against the stunning backdrop of the Cowdray Ruins, one of England’s most important early Tudor houses.
The collaboration is further strengthened by Cowdray Estate’s agreement to stock No.3 Gin at their award-winning Cowdray Farm Shop and Café, and as the premium gin at Cowdray Park Golf Club.
Emma Fox, Chief Executive of Berry Bros. & Rudd, commented: “I am thrilled that our award-winning No.3 Gin is the exclusive gin partner for Cowdray Park Polo Club. The partnership marks a new chapter in our pursuit of perfection to become the definitive luxury gin and we look forward to connecting discerning drinkers at this iconic polo location, with No.3 Gin.”
Andrew Swaffield, Chairman of Cowdray Park Polo Club, commented: “Berry Bros. & Rudd is a distinguished British brand with an illustrious history. We are delighted to be partnering with their critically acclaimed No.3 Gin which will be enjoyed by patrons, players, members and visitors as a perfectly refreshing accompaniment to a day at the home of British polo”.
