An exceptional Very Old Tawny Kingsman Edition limited edition

This Very Old Tawny Kingsman Edition cuvée represents the culmination of nearly nine decades of patience and know-how. Crafted from rare and precious wines selected from Taylor's extensive reserves in Porto, this limited edition of only 700 bottles is a true oenological treasure.

The elaboration process begins with a meticulous selection of historic and rare wines, expertly blended by Taylor's cellar masters. After blending, the porto continues its maturation for several months in cask to achieve perfect balance and harmony. This traditional method, combined with initial aging in oak barrels, gives this porto its unique aromatic complexity and characteristic velvety texture.

The Kingsman edition stands out with its crystal decanter, its luxurious box and its rarity, making it both a collector's item and an exceptional spirit.
