Seppeltsfield 1947 Para Vintage Liqueur is a rare, single-vintage fortified liqueur from Seppeltsfield’s Para Vintage program. The 1947 harvest has matured into a deep, multi-layered tawny with considerable depth. Aromas include dried fig and prune, toffee, orange zest, vanilla, and subtle spice. On the palate it’s full-bodied and velvety, delivering baked fruit, caramel, cocoa, and nutty vanilla with integrated oak. The finish is long, warm, and refined, with lingering fruit and spice. A collectible for Tawny enthusiasts, it suits after-dinner sipping or pairing with blue cheese, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts. Best stored cool and served in small pours.
