Marlborough for White and Chile for red… Tho im fond of Spanish wine also. I’ll stop rambling now, but it’s all subjective, kid
I bought a bottle of Laphroaig in Edinburgh airport about 5 years ago. I took one sip and spat it out and I haven’t touched it since. It was just like drinking a sod of turf.

Inspired by the Irish town of Tullamore’s rebirth in the 18th Century — and subsequent founding of the distillery — this is an Irish whiskey you should do your damnedest to find. (Oddly, it’s only available in airport shops.) Next time you seek out whiskey from the Emerald Isle, forgo famous staples like Jameson and sling back some fine sips of Tullamore D.E.W. By blending golden grain, malt, and pure pot still whiskey, then letting it rest in sherry casks, a whiff of Phoenix hits you like freshly picked autumn apple dipped in caramel to match (minus that annoying stickiness).
