In 1790, 25-year-old George Sandeman, the son of a wealthy Scottish joiner, asked his father for a loan of 300 pounds. His aim was to set up as a wine merchant in London. George Sandeman subsequently founded the company Sandeman, which later became one of the world’s leading suppliers of port and sherry.

From the very beginning, Sandeman specialised in the production and trade of port and sherry. Unlike today, he did not run his business from his own offices, but from Tom’s Coffee House on Birchin Lane in London. At that time, business deals were often concluded on the basis of a ‘gentleman’s word’. George Sandeman quickly gained an excellent reputation, which continues to characterise the Sandeman company to this day.

Specially selected port wines are used for ageing in wooden casks. Through gradual contact with the air, the aromas become more concentrated, and the ruby-coloured hues develop into a deep amber tone, resulting in the rare and delicious Sandeman Tawny Port 30 Year Old. The ageing process intensifies the fruitiness and produces the complex aromas characteristic of Tawny Port.
