Aged in oak for 50 years, Taylor’s Single Harvest 1976 Port is the latest addition to the brand’s prestigious collection of long-aged, cask-matured port.
Drawn from a single year’s harvest and matured in oak, the liquid boasts a copper-amber colour in the glass, with aromas of gingerbread, Seville orange, marzipan and soft caramel. On the palate, the wine is described as deep and refined, with flavours of rum and raisin, butterscotch, alongside tropical notes of pineapple and guava, leading to a long, precise finish.

Half a century in the making
Taylor’s holds one of the largest reserves of long-aged cask-matured port of any producer, and its Single Harvest series is built around careful selection rather than regular production. The collection began with the 1964 harvest, and new releases are only made in years where the wines are judged to have reached a particularly high level of maturity and balance.
According to Adrian Bridge, each bottling reflects both the character of the year and the passage of time. “Each release is an opportunity to reflect on significant moments in history and to celebrate the years they represent,” he says. Of the 1976, he notes it’s “the ideal wine for marking 50th anniversary celebrations worldwide.”
Head winemaker David Guimaraens describes the release as a product of slow maturation and long-term craftsmanship, shaped by decades in seasoned oak casks. The result is a port that combines aromatic complexity with freshness, structure and poise, he says, hallmarks of Taylor’s long-aged style.
Taylor’s Single Harvest 1976 is available now in limited quantities, priced at £316.

Mystery Malt has returned for its sixth instalment, and according to its creators at Thompson Brothers, it is the biggest release yet. The concept remains delightfully simple: every whisky bottle looks identical, costs the same £65, and arrives concealed beneath a tamper-proof capsule. Buyers know the full list of whiskies that could be inside, but…
