Very good video! Thank you. One question, in case of Colheita(Vintage) what is exactly the difference between vintage port and colheita? I heard Colheita is matured in wood, not a bottle. But vintage port is matured in bottle for a certain amount of time. It looks confusing. Please help
Vintage ports are small-barrel aged for two years and evolve in bottle. Colheitas are single vintage tawny ports that are large-barrel aged for anywhere from 6-100 years and are meant to be drank upon purchase as they do not evolve just like regular (multi-vintage) tawny ports.
I am on a quest to find out what ruby barrique would be. I found the info "matured in ruby port barrique" on a bottle of whisky, which does not make much sense to me, ruby is matured in large tuns, they are never put into a 225 litre barriques. Or are they?
So the most likely thing is that the Barrique was previously used to store Ruby port and then reused to age the the whiskey so the whiskey will have hints of Ruby port. Although Tuns are more common they can also be stored in barriques
A good introduction to the difference between the two main types of port
Superb info in a short amount of time. TQ.
