Fonseca 1970 Vintage Port

Vintage Port is a specific style of Ruby Port which is made only in exceptional years and from the ripest grapes.  The wine is fermented and fortified before being aged for 2 years in massive oak vats which, contrary to the far-smaller hogsheads or port pipes which are used for Tawny Ports, prevent oxidation thus maintaining the ripe fruit character.  Upon bottling, the wines continue to age and can reward patient maturation for several decades.

1970 was an exceptional year and harvest with the vast majority of Port Houses and Single Estates declaring a vintage, many of which will benefit from further ageing yet.

Please note that there are no visible measurements on the label.

Old Fitzgerald 1849

An 8 year old bourbon distilled at Heaven Hill, highly rated by Dave Broom in Whisky Mag.

Orphan Barrel Gifted Horse

Yet another delightful whisky mistake... A 17 year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon was mixed with a 4 year old Stitzel-weller whisky. 

So a blend of 38.5% of the old bourbon (Bernheim), 51% Young Indiana Bourbon whisky and 10.5% Young Indiana corn whisky. 

The reveiws of the liquid are good, so it seems this may have been a serendipitous accident.
