Tanqueray Gin, in partnership with the Nairobi Polo Club (NPC), hosted members of the Lagos Polo Club (LPC) at an exclusive event held at the Gem Forest Hotel, Nairobi. The evening, dubbed the Chairman’s Cocktail, served as a platform for the two teams to connect and celebrate their shared passion for the sport of polo.
> “It is a great honour to welcome the Lagos Polo Club back to Nairobi for the second edition of the Lagos Incoming Tour,” said Jean Nyawara, Head of Marketing, Spirits Portfolio, East Africa at EABL. “As EABL, our support for polo goes beyond sponsorship — we believe in fostering the community and camaraderie that make the sport so compelling for both players and spectators. Hosting the team from Lagos is a privilege, and we are proud to help set the stage for a memorable tournament.”
Guests, including NPC Chairman Simon Muchene and Mr. Adeyemo Alakija of the LPC, enjoyed an immersive gin-tasting experience led by Diageo Reserve Brand Ambassador Wangari Mwangi. The tasting featured polo-inspired cocktails — crafted to mirror the precision, skill, and artistry shared by both polo and mixology.
For Tanqueray, the ongoing partnership with the Nairobi Polo Club represents a strategic platform to engage with a discerning audience while deepening the brand’s association with elegance, craftsmanship, and sociability. By facilitating this cross-club engagement, Tanqueray reaffirms its role as a catalyst for meaningful connections within Kenya’s growing polo community.
