Celtic Crossing Liqueur May 23, 2007, New York, NY – Castle Brands Inc. (AMEX: ROX) today announced its "Get Connected" campaign for Celtic Crossing Liqueur, its honey-flavored liqueur from Ireland. The campaign's new and colorful "Get Connected" theme has many implications—connect with friends, cocktails, bars, communities, or the Celtic brand in general. The concept for the campaign is based on the hundreds of unsolicited letters Castle Brands receives each year from consumers all over the world. Each consumer "connected" with Celtic Crossing Liqueur somewhere and is seeking to reconnect with it. As the brand recognizes the importance of the devotion of their loyal consumers, the newly launched website, www.celticcrossingliqueur.com, invites consumers to tell their stories of how they originally "connected" with Celtic and will publish these consumer tales. Similarly, the new site offers bartenders the opportunity to introduce themselves on the site and share their favorite Celtic cocktail. Also, as part of the new marketing campaign, Celtic Crossing will feature select bartenders in its trade advertisements. In general, the new campaign "connects" Celtic to its fans and its fans to each other. "The unique feature of Celtic Crossing is its mass appeal. Unlike other liqueurs whose flavors are often strong and are sometimes an acquired taste, Celtic's soft, subtle honey flavor crosses demographics. Its taste appeals to the shot drinker as well as the mature, sophisticated consumer. It crosses gender, equally enjoyed by men and women. Its versatility makes it suitable to drink on the rocks or in cocktails," said Roseann Sessa, Vice President Marketing and Public Relations for Castle Brands Inc. Castle Brands hopes the new campaign, as well as chosen sponsored events, will pave the road for greater brand awareness. For instance, Celtic Crossing Liqueur has signed on to be the spirits sponsor for the KVMR Celtic Festival in Green Valley, CA in September. The festival, which is in its 11th year and attracts 10,000 people, will feature Celtic Crossing Liqueur as the spirit of choice.
