Scotch is from Scotland.

So you want him to ask for gin? There ain't no English whisk(e)y
worth mentioning, eh? Not hardly. Your suggestion, then...

Gosh yes! But I didn't know they used the Welsh for haggis,
thought it was still little sheep and the like.

I'd suggest that he look into the Ports. Though obviously not English in
origin, were it not for Britain, Port would not exist, as it does today. He
will also be exposed to Ports that are just not available outside England, or
Oporto. Both in the retail outlets, or in duty free, there should be wonderful
wines available. If you are in the US, the selection will exceed all but the
best Web sellers, and offer some wonderful wines.

That is indeed a good ideia. Also please remember that real Ports are only
those comming from Porto (Oporto) in Portugal.

In the US he risks buying a Californian Port for mistake...

Absolutely. I use the difference in capitalization to differentiate Port from
port (whether CA, WA, OZ, or wherever that port-style wines are produced).

If one is looking for Port (that wonderful Oporto liquid), then accidently
picking up one for CA, or where ever else it is produced, would be a mistake.
However, that said, there are many good port-style wines produced outside of
Oporto. The buyer just needs to know that it WILL be different, though may be
quite good.

Good thinking Batman!

Pop in to Berry's in St James' and get some of their own bottling.
Alternatively Taylor's Vintage (what ever is current) is amongst the best
around.

I have been thinking long and hard about this since reading the original
request. Whisky isn't English of course, and Welsh whisky is the subject of
a royal (Edward 7th) joke. English wine's OK, but not exactly world
shattering.

There are some typically "english" liqueurs, but mostly of little merit.
Drambuie is pleasant (scotch whisky based liqueur) as is Tia Maria (coffee).
The english drink is "Bitter", but that hardly travels. Gin (as in Booths or
Gordons) is english OK and is dreadful muck - IMO.

Hey, Appletons Rum is as English as they come, and both they and Mount ***
make excellent barrel aged rums, God knows where one can find them, though.

> Though obviously not English in origin, were it not for Britain, Port would not exist, as it does today.

Same applies for Claret, Madeira and Sherry, of course.

Right you are. I suppose that the Empire, on which the sun never set, was
instrumental for shaping so very much of that, which we now take for granted.
