A lovely old bottle of Port produced by Constantino.

Sociedade dos Vinhos do Porto Constantino was founded in 1877 by Constantino de Almeida who purchased two key vineyards at this time; Quinta do Crastro and Quinta de Sobreira.  Followhing Constantino de Almeida's death in 1922 the house fell into his three sons hands and became well known as a prestigous port wine company. Eventuall, in 1958 the port house was merged with the famous Hunt Roope & Co group (established 1650) which had recently been purchased by Ferreira and consqeuently Sogrape.

Colheita is single vintage tawny port matured for a number of years (usually) in wood, now-a-days these bottlings carry the date at which the port was bottled, unfortunately we don't have this information for this item.  Colheita, Portugese for 'harvest' or 'vintage' legally requires the port to be matured for no less than seven years but in some cases extends well beyond this.

Please note we do not have a bottle size or alcoholic strength on this item, the label carries some ageing to it - please refer to the images.

Release in June 2013 for the annual Feis Ile, this Caol Ila was specially selected by Billy Stitchell.

Bottle number 0584 of 3,000

Billy said this about how the whisky matured:

“Spirit distilled in 1998 has been triple-cask matured. For 12 years it rested in a combination of Refill Butts, Hogsheads and Barrels. The vatted whisky was then allowed to mature for several months in active hogshead casks to impart a spicy/oaky note to the existing delicate Caol Ila smoke. Finally it was treated to a final gentle maturation in European oak.”
