View All (5)Tried this at a tapas place and ordered a bottle online after. It's a nice oloroso — the dried apricot and fig flavours come through well and it doesn't taste as boozy as 19.5% sounds. Not life-changing but I'd happily have it in the cupboard for when mates come round.
1 February 2026Picked this up for a dinner party and it was a hit. The butterscotch and nutty thing going on is gorgeous, and it went down way too easy for nearly 20% ABV. At twenty quid it's a solid shout if you want something a bit different.
29 December 2025My partner loves sherry so I grabbed this as a birthday present. It's alright — the fig and raisin flavours are nice enough but I found it a bit intense for me. Probably one for sherry fans rather than casual drinkers. Decent quality though for the price.
