Cockburn's Bicentenary Tasting 2014 - 1863
Cockburn, one of the greatest names in Port, are celebrating their bicentennial this year. The company was founded in 1815 by Scottish brothers; Robert and John Cockburn. In fact it turns out from the records that the Cockburn family imported Port to Edinburgh in 1796 but the Symington family who now own the company have sensibly decided to leave the foundation date at 1815 rather than push the rewind button as some other shippers have done.
