MEET THE TEAM HERE

Like so many others, with the rapidly changing developments surrounding COVID-19, I found myself at high risk of becoming stuck on the other side of world in NZ. Jonathon and Scott from Feherty Travel were outstanding in helping to get me safely home on Tuesday evening. They worked continually around the clock in close communication with my dad to book me flights home via Dubai and London before borders were shut. I am extremely grateful to them and would highly recommend Feherty Travel to anyone wishing to travel with a travel agent in the future.

I usually book my holidays myself. I prefer to go throught the likes of expedia to get a bargain on my holidays. But with companys going belly up left right and centre it may be worth a look into booking through a well established and well thought of local travel agents. My friend recently booked his holiday to Vietnam through this place and was extremely happy with the service he got. It was all efficent, friendly and saved him a bit of time, effort and money. He would probably claim that he did this to have insurance but I know for a fact that he only went here because it is owned and operated by local golf legend and Tiger Woods 03 Commentator David Feherty's dad. For me, that is honestly enough for me to go there. I know that is pretty mental, but thats how it goes.

In recent times booking a holiday has become a little bit of a mine field. Low cost, last minute holiday websites have become all the rage. But the trouble with these is that you can not trust what they are selling you, after booking next thing you know you will be the star of holiday nightmares and will be occupying the prime time slot on ITV. So if you would rather avoid this and book a holiday face to face and actually talk to a person about your destination then look no further than Feherty Travel. This is one of Bangor's oldest and most reliable businesses. They have been providing holidays for the people of Bangor for over 20 years. This knowledge has helped plenty of my friends find the perfect getaway. Another great this about Feherty travel is that they will offer you a free holiday quote and are happy to answer any questions you might have. As I found out last year. There advice was open and honest. I think that was because they are not affiliated with any airlines or travel companies. This means they want to get you the best deal. I know that my friends and family are always very complimentary about the service they received at Fehertys.

Nick Offerman on Traveling the World, Wooden Ships and His Latest Lagavulin Whisky

"to travel all over the world, touring as a humorist, i continue to grow to love the way local flavors or territorial flavors enrich the dishes and drinks and profiles that places are known for," offerman tells observer..

Though Nick Offerman ’s Parks and Recreation alter ego Ron Swanson firmly believes that whisky should be drunk neat and with a cigar (and for the ambitious, with “turf n’ turf,” also known as a 16-ounce T-bone and a 24-ounce porterhouse), the actor is a bit more lenient. He does, however, share a strong affinity for the spirit with his on-screen persona, so it’s fitting that Offerman has embarked on a long-term partnership with Lagavulin. Today (May 6), he is releasing his fourth limited-edition collaboration with the brand: Lagavulin Offerman Edition: Caribbean Rum Cask Finish.

While Offerman has been involved in the creation of all three of his previous bottlings with Lagavulin, this fourth edition is the first one where he really got to combine his love of whisky with his love of travel. The new bottle features tasting notes inspired by the Caribbean , a region Offerman has been enamored with for some time, combined with flavors of Islay, resulting in a sweet and smoky whisky.

Offerman’s love affair with the Caribbean started when he followed a girlfriend to the Virgin Islands as a young man. Now married to actress Megan Mullally , his passion for the islands and their flavors was reignited in 2022, when he was filming The Resort in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Though his go-to cocktail in San Juan was a Cuba libre, he could never forget about Lagavulin. He and Lagavulin blending master Stuart Morrison had flirted with the idea of using a rum cask for their next edition, but once he was back in the Caribbean soaking up all the rich flavors, the idea was cemented.

“Then it falls into his [Morrison’s] lap where he says, ‘Okay, let me take these colors and see what painting I can cook,’ and then we start sampling back and forth, and we arrive at yet another exquisite beverage,” Offerman tells Observer.  

According to Offerman, the new Caribbean rum cask bottling, starting at $90, is a good getaway whisky for novice whisky drinkers and those who might be intimidated by the drink. “If you’re new, I would put it over a couple of ice cubes or just a few drops of spring water . Open it up, as it will take away a little bit of the punch that those of us leathery Lagavulin veterans want,” he explains. “For me, I don’t want it diluted. I want to sip it slowly and let the intense, robust flavors soak in.” 

Fittingly, Offerman’s long-standing relationship with the more than 200-year-old Scotch whisky brand stems from his role on Parks. His character was a fan, and visits Lagavulin’s distillery on the Isle of Islay in Scotland. It eventually turned into a real life, off-screen relationship, with Offerman and Lagavulin partnering up to release special limited editions.

Offerman unveiled his initial release with Lagavulin in 2019; it was an 11-year-old whisky renowned for its robust peat flavor. The second Offerman Edition came two years later; it was also an 11-year-old whisky, with a finish in Guinness casks. That 2021 release earned the top Whisky of the Year honor from Whisky Advocate. 

A deep passion for whisky and travel has fueled the continued partnership. This isn’t just another celebrity slapping their name on a bottle (though an illustration of his face is emblazoned on these editions), as Offerman is very hands-on in the creation process. The packaging, for example, features a map of Lagavulin in Scotland as well as of Chicago, with a drawing by the actor. On the back, it includes a note from Offerman explaining how the whisky was produced, along with a fictional story about how he and his crew have sailed the Quercus Alba when they go from Islay to his hometown of Minooka, Illinois.

An accomplished woodworker (he has operated the Offerman Woodshop in East Los Angeles since 2001), Offerman is enamored by sailing on wooden vessels, even serving as the temporary captain of the Pride of Baltimore on the Chesapeake Bay in 2021. Though he romanticizes traveling by sea on a wooden boat, he says his ideal trip is just for the day, and has no desire to take a real multi-week sea voyage—and definitely no cruise ships. 

Offerman’s xylophile background came in handy for the third collaboration with Lagavulin in 2022. Dubbed the three-peat, it’s aged in American red wine and European oak casks that underwent a special shaving down and re-charring process, a departure from previous editions. The result was his most smoky whisky yet.

Offerman knows he’s quite fortunate when it comes to working with Morrison. “I get to stand at his elbow, and he sort of cooks up seven bonbons and asks me to say which is the yummiest, and then they call that a collaboration. It’s incredible. I’m so spoiled,” Offerman says. 

Offerman sometimes can’t believe how lucky he has been to travel extensively, both for acting and Lagavulin. “To travel all over the world, touring as a humorist, I continue to grow to love the way local flavors or territorial flavors enrich the dishes and drinks and profiles that places are known for,” the Civil War actor tells Observer. He and Mullally are enthusiastic travelers, and have especially loved exploring places including Australia, South Africa, England and Scotland. The couple is particularly besotted by the U.K., so much so that they acquired part of a beef herd in the Lake District of Wales (Swanson would approve), where they escape when they need to get away. 

But if you are unable to get away to the emerald hills of Islay or the sun-kissed shores of the Caribbean, Offerman has curated the perfect evening for you with his new whisky, which he advises is best paired with a dessert such as lemon meringue or key lime pie. “Lemon meringue is the top [choice], but something with a nice acidic citrus bite. The meringue also gives it a sweetness and a little bit of caramelization that will seem like it was formulated together with a particular variety.” And never fully departing from Swanson, he notes that a ribeye is the perfect entree for this night.

If you’re looking for a new travel credit card, listen up.

Chase is offering a limited-time 75,000-point welcome bonus if you open a Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or Chase Sapphire Reserve® and spend $4,000 within three months. 

“This is a strong bonus on an excellent card,” said Jason Steele, a credit card expert and CNET Expert Review Board member. “It’s not the highest ever, but it’s better than the standard offer on cards that should be in the wallets of anyone who wants to earn travel rewards.” 

We don’t know how long the limited-time bonus will be around, but history tells us that it won’t be here forever. Here’s what to know about the boosted bonus and which cards qualify for it. 

Starting now, if you spend $4,000 on qualifying purchases within the first three months of opening a Sapphire Preferred or Sapphire Reserve card, you’ll receive 75,000 points. That means you’ll need to spend at least $1,334 per month to earn the bonus. 

That’s a 15,000-point increase from Chase’s typical 60,000 bonus with the same spending requirement and timeframe. 

“While we’ve seen slightly higher offers on the CSP in the past, there’s never a guarantee those will return, or if they do, when that will happen,” said Mark Reese, credit card expert and CNET ERB member. With summer vacation around the corner, this is a great opportunity to save hundreds on an upcoming trip.

To earn this bonus, you can pay your bills with your credit card to reach the bonus faster. Or you may be able to earn the bonus if you have a big purchase coming up that you already have the money set aside for, such as home renovations or travel. 

Never overspend to earn a credit card welcome bonus. If you’re not able to pay off your balance in full each month, the interest you accrue could quickly wipe out any value you earn in rewards. If you can’t comfortably spend $1,334 per month, it’s not worth trying for this bonus.

The Sapphire Preferred is already our top travel credit card pick. Beyond the welcome bonus, these two popular travel cards have some useful perks for booking a flight or taking a road trip. Have a plan in place for how you want to use the card before applying. 

“Both of these cards have excellent travel insurance and purchase protection benefits,” Steele said. “The CSR even has paid roadside assistance and emergency evacuation coverage. Both have primary automobile insurance, along with trip delay and trip cancellation coverage.”  

But there are big differences, such as the annual fee, cardholder credits and rewards rates -- which can all make a big difference in the long run. Here’s a quick look at both cards and a comparison to help you determine which one is best for you.

Chase Sapphire Reserve®

This boosted welcome bonus could help you earn a free flight, hotel stay or other travel accommodations just in time for an end-of-summer trip -- if you earn the bonus before the three-month period ends. 

If you redeem the rewards for travel using Chase Travel℠, you’ll redeem points at a boosted rate of 1.25 cents per point with the Sapphire Preferred and 1.5 cents per point with the Sapphire Reserve. That means it could be worth $937 to $1,125.

Beyond the Chase portal, you may also be able to redeem your points at an even higher rate with Chase’s travel partners .

You can also redeem the points toward other purchases, gift cards and statement credits but at a lesser value.  

Read more: 6 Reasons the Chase Sapphire Preferred Should Be Your Next Credit Card

Chase’s travel cards usually require good to excellent credit -- so a FICO score of 670 or higher. There are also a few other factors that would disqualify you: 

• You cannot be a current Sapphire cardholder. 
• You cannot have earned a Chase Sapphire bonus in the past two years. 
• You must not have exceeded Chase’s 5/24 rule, which means you cannot have applied for five cards within the past 24 months from any issuer. 

If you’re unsure, it’s best to call Chase’s customer service line at 1-800-432-3117 for questions and assistance.
