This Taylor’s Historical series is a collection of specially blended cask-aged Ports presented in exclusive bespoke bottles inspired by historic bottle mould. This bottle was inspired by the ‘shaft and globe’ shape of early English wine bottles. These spherical bottles were prevalent in the mid-17th century and were mouth-blown rather than made in moulds.

A deep, reddish-brown core is framed by a slender brick-red rim. The nose, rich and mature, opens with inviting aromas of coffee, butterscotch, and dried fruit, complemented by hints of plum and raisin. Surrounding this sumptuous heart are delicate layers of spice, wood, and nuttiness, as well as subtle floral notes, offering the wine a refined, intricate, and alluring complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and dense, with a smooth, velvety texture. The flavours of indulgent toffee and preserved fruit linger, leading to a long, warming finish. This wine is a stunning representation of the traditional craft of cask ageing and blending, with each element harmoniously integrated to enhance both aroma and flavour.
