Royal Salute, the world’s leading luxury Scotch whisky, marked its third year as title sponsor of the Royal Salute Maharaja of Jodhpur Golden Jubilee Cup.

As one of the most prestigious polo events, the largest and most international crowd ever watched the impressive Central Academy team win the 10-goal tournament.

The annual New Year’s Eve Procession, lead by His Highness the Maharaja of Jodhpur, marked the end of the five-day event.

Famous names of nobility such as Prince Carl-Eugen Oettingen-Wallerstein and his wife Princess Anna of Bavaria also took part.

Neil Macdonald, Global Brand Director for Royal Salute, said, “There is no event quite like the Royal Salute Maharaja of Jodhpur Golden Jubilee Cup.

With stunning parties and a world-class 10-goal tournament, our guests have enjoyed a spectacular few days.

Royal Salute is dedicated to bringing polo to a larger audience, especially in fast-growing countries like India and China, and with this event we feel like we have gotten the New Year off to a great start.”

The Maharaja’s famous New Year’s Eve procession and celebration at Mehrangarh Fort provided an unforgettable conclusion to the Jodhpur polo season, with an extraordinary spectacle of traditional dance, music, fireworks and festivities.

The Royal Salute Maharaja of Jodhpur Golden Jubilee Cup further highlights Royal Salute’s growing commitment to international polo, with sponsorships of the world’s most prestigious events across the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

The Royal Salute World Polo Series continues in January 2012 at the Royal Salute Nations Cup in Dubai.
