Gin Magazine - Duty Free gins take flight
We are delighted to be featured in this article in Gin Magazine.
After years of putting up with a limited offer, gin-loving travellers are now often spoilt for choice at many airports.
A decade ago international travellers had a poor selection of gins to choose from on a typical visit to an airport duty-free store. Gin was allocated just a couple of shelves and the range featured the usual suspects – Gordon’s, for a long time the best-selling brand, Bombay Sapphire, Beefeater and Tanqueray. A price saving was the only reason to buy.
Today, the offer of gins on display to travellers is much wider even at airports serving markets where gin has not been strong domestically. Provincial airports are championing local craft gins; more established craft brands are launching travel retail exclusives for the first time, and the big names in gin are responding to the increased competition by launching their own exclusive lines.
In short, there’s never been a better time to pick up a bottle of gin on your travels. So dust off your passport and come with us as we bring you the latest travel retail releases…
