The tastings

Our experts have tasted a selection of what's available in duty-free

Choosing which bottle to buy next can be an agonising task, especially when there's limited room in the suitcase. Whisk(e)y, gin, rum, brandy, sparkling wine, liqueurs and more all present tantalising options for that post-trip treat or indulgent gift. Staring at a wall of bottles in duty-free, this slightly berwildering situation can be made even more complicated if one is buying for a cherished loved one, worldly friend or picky colleague. Though travel retailers usually have some form of tasting area, where visitors can try before they buy, this generally only covers a small selection of the myriad brands one can pick up while passing through the store. In fact, sometimes the tasting can make the decision even more difficult, when faced with a selection of equally superb options. That's why, here at Travelux, we have shouldered the heavy burden of tasting the very best wines and spirits so you don't have to. Our reviewers all have years of exprience in the world of wines and spirits, so rest assured they won't lead you astray.
