Taylor’s commemorates Platinum Jubilee with Very Very Old Tawny Port
Taylor’s Port, a Royal Warrant Holder to HM The Queen, has launched its Very Very Old Tawny Port in celebration of the Monarch’s 70 year reign.
On 6 February 2022, the Queen became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service to the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth.
The latest launch from Taylor’s – the Very Very Old Tawny Port – has been created with wines aged from the time Queen Elizabeth was crowned.
“This exceptional Port is drawn from our extensive reserves of the finest wood aged wines, which have been maturing in seasoned oak casks, since the Queen succeeded to the throne, silently attesting to Her Majesty’s extraordinary reign as the longest serving Monarch in British history.” stated Adrian Bridge, Managing Director of Taylor’s.
The component wines for this limited-edition bottling were individually selected and blended by Taylor’s blenders.
The Taylor’s Platinum Jubilee Very Very Old Tawny Port is presented in the classic frosted Taylor’s Aged Tawny bottle and comes in a beech wood box.
The Port is being released in a limited edition of 2,000 bottles. It will be available in fine wine merchants from April, with a recommended retail price of £350 per bottle.
“We are delighted to celebrate such an exceptional commemoration with the launch of a unique Port wine. The perfect glass to raise a toast to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” Bridge added.
Showing that the Royals know a thing or two about celebrating properly, Buckingham Palace announced this month that it is releasing its own English sparkling wine in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The fruit inside the bottle was grown on vineyards in Kent and West Sussex and is produced using the traditional method to create a golden sparkling wine with rich, honeyed aromas according to the Royal Collection Trust. Read more on that here.
