<p><em>SKYY Infusions, X-Rated® Fusion Liqueur® and Wild Turkey® American Honey® Named &#8220;2008 Hot Prospect Brands&#8221; by IMPACT Newsletter; SKYY Infusions named “Best New Product” of 2008 by Market Watch Magazine</em></p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO (September 25, 2009)—The year 2008 was a monumental one for Skyy Spirits, LLC (<a title="Skyy Spirits" href="http://www.skyyspirits.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff;">www.skyyspirits.com</span></a>), a wholly owned subsidiary of <a title="Gruppo Campari" href="http://www.camparigroup.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Gruppo Campari </span></a>and the definitive marketer and distributor of super-premium and luxury spirits brands in North America. And, that fact has now been recognized by IMPACT Newsletter and Market Watch Magazine, the industry’s top sources for data, trends, and analysis. This month, three of the company’s brands, <span style="color: #3366ff;">SKYY Infusions®,</span> <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a title="X-Rated Fusion Liqueur" href="http://www.xratedfusion.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff;">X-Rated® Fusion Liqueur®</span></a></span> and <a title="Wild Turkey" href="http://www.wildturkey.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Wild Turkey® American Honey®,</span> </a>were named among <a title="IMPACT" href="http://www.mshanken.com/impact/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff;">IMPACT</span></a>’s “2008 Hot Prospect Brands.” SKYY Infusions was also named <a title="Market Watch" href="http://www.mshanken.com/marketwatch/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3366ff;">Market Watch’s</span> </a>“2008 Best New Product” for its stellar performance in the market place.<span id="more-432"></span></p>
<p>The second annual “Hot Prospect” survey recognized brands with US sales between 50,000 and 200,000 nine-liter cases in 2008, while achieving growth of at least 15 percent, after recording solid progress in 2006 and 2007 (where applicable). The All Natural SKYY Infusions vodka line, which was introduced in 2008, sold an impressive 170,000 cases in the first year. X-Rated Fusion Liqueur showed a 44 percent growth over 2007 with sales of 88,000 cases. American Honey, part of the Gruppo Campari’s purchase of Wild Turkey, posted sales of 85,000 cases, a 107 percent increase over 2007. Skyy Spirits is one of just two spirits companies that had three or more products represented on IMPACT’s annual round up of new best performing brands.</p>
<p>Market Watch’s “2008 Best New Product” title was awarded to the brand first introduced in the US during the calendar year with the highest nine-liter case depletions, with SKYY Infusions easily outpacing the next closest competitor by nearly 100,000 cases.</p>
<p>“We knew we had something special with each of these brands before we even took them to the street,” said Gerry Ruvo, Chairman and CEO of Skyy Spirits. “It is extremely gratifying to see the success we’ve had with SKYY Infusions and X-Rated Fusion Liqueur recognized. And keep your eye on American Honey; we are very fortunate to have such a terrific American icon like Wild Turkey in our portfolio.”</p>
<p>About the Skyy Spirits Hot Prospect Brands of 2008:</p>
<p>• Say good-bye to traditional, artificial tasting, boring flavored vodkas. All Natural SKYY Infusions is a unique infused experience made with premium SKYY Vodka and succulent real fruit, creating a delectable sensation ranked number-one in taste by the prestigious Beverage Testing Institute. The SKYY Infusions line includes Citrus, Grape, Cherry, Raspberry, Passion Fruit and NEW Pineapple, introduced in 2009.</p>
<p>• X-Rated Fusion Liqueur is a sensuous, flirty blend of ultra premium French vodka and Sicilian blood oranges, mingled with mango from India and passion fruit from South America. On the rocks or as a flavorful addition to champagne or any cocktail, X-Rated Fusion Liqueur blends tropical fruit flavors with edgy citrus notes to deliver a long, smooth, semi-sweet finish. A favorite for any “Girls Night Out,” X-Rated Fusion Liqueur is as delicious as it is eye-catching, with a vibrant pink color to liven any occasion.</p>
<p>• Wild Turkey American Honey is an exceptionally smooth liqueur blended with pure honey and real Wild Turkey Bourbon Whiskey; perfect served chilled straight from the freezer, over rocks, it is the sweeter, smoother side of Wild Turkey. A deep golden hue, American Honey has a nose of ripe citrus and an exceptionally smooth palate of sweet honey and caramel with subtle bourbon notes and a long, rich finish. Wild Turkey American Honey was named “Best in Class” at the 2008 World Whiskey Awards.</p>

A number of man-hungry women have graced television and cinema screens over the years to terrorize and titillate scores of younger men and teach younger girls how a real woman gets what she wants. For the past five months, visitors to the SodaHead.com website have voted for their favorite cougar and now the results are in. <span id="more-161"></span></p>
<p>Only ten cougars made the initial X-Rated Fusion Liqueur cougar poll list: Eva Longoria, for her role as &#8220;Gabrielle Solis&#8221; in Desperate Housewives; Rue McClanahan, for her role as &#8220;Blanche&#8221; in the Golden Girls: Melinda Clarke, for her role as &#8220;Julie Cooper&#8221; in The O.C; Kim Cattrall, for her role as &#8220;Samantha Jones&#8221; in Sex and the City; Jennifer Coolidge, for her role as &#8220;Stifler&#8217;s Mom&#8221; in American Pie; Jane Seymour, for her role as &#8220;Kathleen Cleary&#8221; in Wedding Crashers; Verna Bloom, for her role as &#8220;Marion Wormer&#8221; in Animal House; Anne Bancroft for her role as &#8220;Mrs. Robinson&#8221; in The Graduate; and Morgan Fairchild for her role as &#8220;Chandler&#8217;s Mom&#8221; in Friends.</p>
<p>With over 20% of the votes, Anne Bancroft&#8217;s &#8220;Mrs. Robinson&#8221; is the queen of all cougars, proving a classic and sophisticated woman can still leave an impression. Eva Longoria&#8217;s &#8220;Gabrielle Solis&#8221; was a close second with 18% of the votes. Kim Cattrall&#8217;s sexually liberated &#8220;Samantha Jones&#8221; came in third with 14% of the votes. In honor of their accomplishments, X-Rated Fusion Liqueur celebrated our cougars with a cocktail inspired by each of their characters (recipes available).</p>
