Founded by an adventurous Scotsman, George, in 1790, Sandeman's went on to become one of the most well-recognised brands in the world. The Sandeman family ran the company with great success until it went public in 1952. Since then it has been part of the drinks company with its own uncertain future, Seagram.

A really fine vintage port from Sandeman, and this would most likely be pre-1980s, shows wonderful elegance and will have aged as well as any.
