Port of Leith Distillery Martha’s Reserve Tawny Port is a fresh and approachable Port with beautiful red and black fruit flavours of cherry, plum and cassis. The wine spends between six and eight years aging in oak casks where it has developed some oxidised, nutty, almost Christmas cake aromas. It does however retain a refreshing vibrancy and youthful feel which is quite lovely.
Port of Leith distillery is one of the most eye-catching developments that Leith docks has ever seem. My description won’t do it justice, so you are better off checking it out here www.leithdistillery.com Impressive as a building, but even more impressive when you consider that there is a distillery spread over several floors within it! In their search for Port and Sherry barrels to age the Whisky in, the boys thought it would be fun to also buy the wine that was originally in the barrels. This has forged a strong relationship between both Martha’s Family Estate in the Douro and Bodegas Baron in Jerez and allows consumers to see the work of the barrel at different stages of its life.
