Asia-Pacific is Global Travel Retail's Growth Engine: TFWA President Sarah Branquinho

Asia-Pacific continues to cement its position as the world's most important travel retail market, accounting for approximately 40% of global travel retail sales and remaining the industry's strongest growth engine. According to Sarah Branquinho , President of the Tax-Free World Association (TFWA), the region's combination of rising middle-class incomes, expanding airport infrastructure and unparalleled levels of intra-regional travel places it at the centre of the industry's future. Sarah Branquinho, President of the Tax-Free World Association (TFWA) “Asia-Pacific remains the strongest travel retail region in the world," says Branquinho. "Growth may have stabilised compared with earlier periods, but the region continues to be extremely resilient.

My Wandering Eye: Tamworth Garden V.S.O.P. Apple Brandy, 7-year-old

I’d like to thank Tamworth Distilling and their PR team for providing this sample with no strings attached. It has been quite a while since we last did a My Wandering Eye post so I thought that I might start with a reminder of what we are doing in this series. My Wandering Eye is an ongoing series reacting to the continually rising prices in the bourbon world. We’ve reached a place where even average products have hit the range where they compete price-wise with other types of aged spirits. If I’m going to be asked to drop $40 to $75 on a mid-range bourbon, I might as well see what else I can get for that money. I hope to see if another spirits category offers something downright tasty in that price range. The goal isn’t to find cheap spirits but to maximize the quality I’m getting at a particular price point. The reviews in this series will all be written through a bourbon drinker’s lens. I used to make hard cider every year. I've been traveling during apple season for the past few ye
