View All (7)Had this at a friend's house after a big Sunday roast and it was perfect for that moment. Really rich with toffee and apricot notes, and the finish goes on forever. Not something I'd drink every day but for a slow evening it's spot on.
6 March 2026Bought this for my dad's 60th and we ended up finishing the bottle between us. The butterscotch and toffee flavours are gorgeous but it's not sickly sweet at all — there's something dry underneath that stops it being too much. Genuinely one of the nicest fortified wines I've had.
17 February 2026The wine shop guy talked me into this and it is good, I'll give it that. Loads of dried fruit and a lovely warming finish. But £33 is a lot for a sherry when you can get decent ones for half that. Would buy again on offer.
