KEEPING YOU WARM
Since 1926, 66°North has been making protective clothing for Icelanders, for both the sea
and land. The company offers four different types of protective wear: fisherman’s clothes,
working wear, mountain, and general protective, wear.
The company 66°N has been a pioneer in the development of outdoor clothing due to its
belief that the products should protect the body from the elements but not limit its action
and comfort. Thus, 66°N uses the highest quality material, such as Polartec fleece. By con-
stantly searching for the right combination of protection and comfort, the company has
been able to create clothes which can be worn by those people who work under the harsh-
est conditions: Icelandic fisherman and members of the Icelandic Rescue Team. If 66°N can
protect Icelanders from the elements, then they can protect you.
The 66°N outdoor clothing is available at Islandica duty free store in the Leifur Eiríksson
Terminal at Keflavík International Airport, as well as many other sport and souvenir shops.
TAX- AND DUTY-FREE NEWS BULLETIN
BALLANTINES
AND
COURVOISIER
In September, Ballantines
Gold Seal and Courvoisier
VSOP are on special offer
at the duty free store in
Keflavík Airport.
Ballantines whisky does
not need any introduction
for Icelanders: Ballantines has been the leading whisky in
Iceland for many years. As for Courvoisier, it’s one of the top
four cognacs in the world and has been a favourite of
Icelanders for some time.
Passengers travelling through Keflavík airport have the
unique opportunity to buy Ballantines and Courvoisier duty-
free, because Iceland is exempt from the recently
implemented law abolishing tax- and duty-free sales to
travellers within the European Union.
So don’t forget to pick up a bottle of Ballantines Gold Seal
or Courvoisier VSOP at the duty free store – it’s also going
for 20 per cent off the original duty-free price.
Keep an eye out for the new packaging of Glenfiddich Special Reserve. William
Grant & Sons has introduced a 12-year-old age statement to its flagship single
malt Scotch whisky, reassuring consumers of the quality they’ve come to expect
of Glenfiddich.
The age statement is featured on the Glenfiddich Special Reserve 12 Year Old’s
contemporary new packaging, which includes a stylish tube, the sculptured tri-
angular green bottle and enhanced labelling.
The world’s number one single malt Scotch whisky is available in over 180 coun-
tries across the world. Look for the new labelling and the 12-year-old age state-
ment when walking through the duty-free store at Keflavík International Airport.
Since its creation in
1860, TAG Heuer has
built an outstanding
track record by produc-
ing top quality sports
watches and timekeep-
ing systems for various
world-class sporting
events.
The Swiss-based com-
pany has been intimately linked to the Formula One
World Championships since 1950, when the average
speed was 153 km/h. Back then, time was recorded
using simple stopwatches. Today, speeds reach up to
210 km/h. Good thing TAG Heuer’s expertise in
advanced timing technology allows for precision of up
to 1/1000th of a second – one reason why TAG Heuer
has been the official timekeeper of the FIA Formula
One World Championships since 1992.
This precision timing is available in TAG Heuer’s stun-
ning lines of sports watches. These watches are
designed for the most demanding sports performance,
yet they also convey elegance and prestige. You can
find TAG Heuer watches at Leonard’s Gift Boutique,
inside the Leifur Eiríksson Terminal
