Jaguar I-Pace EV400 Europe 2023 Tour Review

The best way to review a car in-depth is not to take it on a track or pootle around town for a couple of days, but to take it on a European tour and live with it. That is the only way to understand how well it will perform over the years and whether it is right for you.

With electric cars this is all important, particularly as electric cars are both the vehicle itself and the recharging platforms they depend on. It's all about the infrastructure, baby.

Il Consiglio Di Sicilia Donnalucata

Travel Sicily: Il Consiglio Di Sicilia Restaurant Review

Donnalucata is a pretty fishing village in the province of Ragusa on the southern west coast of Sicily. Unspoilt by tourism even in the high season. Famous for its long, sandy beach, attractive promenade, ice cream shops and excellent restaurants; one restaurant, in particular, stands out.

Il Consiglio di Sicilia is set in the divine Piazza Francesco Crispi on the Via Casmene with a gorgeous terrace encircled by trees and draped with ivy and vines.

A portrait of Ardray whisky in David Pearce's signature style

Ardray Whisky - A Truly Delicious Blended Whisky

I typically abstain from writing about blended whisky, but it is necessary to change that stance given the resurgence the category is experiencing. Blended whisky, when crafted with care, can offer a delightful drinking experience, deserving far more recognition than it currently receives. Gone are the days of dismissive notions about inexpensive, characterless bottles; instead, we must shift our focus to the profusion of new premium releases that have emerged.

Thibaut Hontanx with the 2023 Mizunara

Courvoisier's 2023 Mizunara - A True Masterpiece

The realm of alcoholic spirits offers an array of delightful flavours to be savoured, experienced, and enjoyed. On rare occasions, a single spirit can evoke sheer, unfiltered joy, akin to the elation of an 8-year-old at a Disney theme park. While I refrained from bouncing up and down with excitement (out of respect for my fellow writers during our visit to Courvoisier to taste their new 2023 Mizunara Cognac), a beaming smile remained plastered on my face long after I had finished tasting.

KARPAZ GATE MARINA RESORT

KARPAZ GATE MARINA IN NORTH CYPRUS: REVIEW

North Cyprus, or the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) as it’s also known as, is one of those parts of our continent that evades most travellers’ radars. Following its creation as a de facto state in 1983, it remains one of the more remote and unexplored regions of Europe. 

So it’s certainly an interesting locational choice for an exclusive €120 million development, on the island’s Karpaz peninsula, incorporating the country’s first international standard marina and a brand new 52-room boutique hotel.
