    Advantages Advantages Mellow, rich and unique in a stylish distinct bottle

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Perhaps more pricey than some sherries

    Harveys Bristol Cream is the world’s best selling sherry. Harveys has produced fine Spanish sherry from the Jerez region of Spain since 1796. Harveys Bristol Cream stands out from other sherries in taste and quality.

Reasonably priced although I haven't had the spare cash to buy such a luxury item for some time so it has had to be sadly put on the burner this last festive season. Easy to drink on your own, with ... more
