GREY GOOSE® And BLADE Take Summer To New Heights

During a private event at BLADE's Flagship East 34^th Street Lounge in New York City, GREY GOOSE announced it would celebrate the start of summer by offering extraordinary experiences to BLADE passengers flying between New York and the Hamptons over Memorial Day weekend 2016.

Beginning with the first flights of summer on May 27, BLADE customers will be able to enjoy an extraordinary cocktail experience from the moment they check in to the moment they arrive at their destination. GREY GOOSE Le Grand Fizz, the official BLADE cocktail, will be served to passengers in BLADE lounges to enjoy while in air to their summer destinations.

"This is a compelling way for two brands to join forces, who share a passion for both travel and adventure and create new ways to advance the aviation experience. For us, the sponsorship is a natural fit. The BLADE flyer expects their air travel to be as enjoyable as the time at their destination, and that experience begins when passengers step into our lounges," says BLADE founder and CEO Rob Wiesenthal.

"We are making a significant investment in creating more luxury experiences in the world of travel to celebrate those who are true innovators," says GREY GOOSE global vice president Tom Swift. "In the same way that GREY GOOSE is famed for challenging convention to produce a vodka of exceptional quality, BLADE is creating unrivaled new experiences in travel, that enables consumers to arrive where they need to be, faster and more elegantly than ever before."

Using the BLADE mobile application consumers can search BLADE's schedule to find a time that fits with their plans or crowdsource their own flight. With just three taps, the consumer can book their flight and be on their way.

GREY GOOSE Le Grand Fizz, a summer twist on the brand's signature celebratory serve, is the ultimate choice for summer gatherings. Using the finest French ingredients including GREY GOOSE vodka, ST-GERMAIN^® elderflower liqueur and fresh lime, the drink is topped with chilled soda for a gentle effervescence. The hero serve will be available across leading accounts and at celebratory moments throughout the season, from Cannes Film Festival to the U.S. Open in New York.

About GREY GOOSE® Vodka:

Every aspect of the creation of GREY GOOSE is focused on crafting vodka of unmatched quality.

A unique distillation process brings out the naturally superior characteristics of these ingredients. From field-to-bottle, the expertise of the GREY GOOSE Maître de Chai (Cellar Master), François Thibault, ensures an unparalleled smoothness and exceptional taste to the connoisseur palate. The GREY GOOSE portfolio is comprised of GREY GOOSE vodka, GREY GOOSE La Poire, GREY GOOSE L'Orange, GREY GOOSE Le Citron, GREY GOOSE Cherry Noir, and GREY GOOSE Le Melon flavored vodkas, and GREY GOOSE VX spirit drink. www.GREYGOOSE.com
