Harveys Bristol Cream Sherry

I am so relieved to eventually find other people who know that this Sherry is nothing like what it used to be. When I tell my beer drinking husband he laughs and says they would never change Harvey’s Bristol Cream, he thinks it’s me who has the problem.

Bloody love Sherry, this Christmas i reignited my love affair with Sherry. New years resolution to drink more Sherry!! Harvey's is the one for me. Rich and full bodied. Yum Yum.
Ps Makes a great trifle as well.

After finding that the bottle of harveys i bought changed it's labelling to blue in a screw top bottle with the added 'solero' info, i googled it and found 'official' statements such as: “The liquid itself is the same classic blend...". this is utter BS as testified to by almost all reviews i have read from customers who know this sherry is nothing like the harveys we remember and loved from a couple of years ago. Instead we get more bs about a new thrmochromic ink that tells us when it's the right temperature (how did we manage before for all those years?) in an attempt to sell you on some kind of improvements to distract you. do yourself a favour by voting with your feet and look for other brands in the hope harveys will get the message and know they cant live on past glories, as the current sherry with it's harsh flavour aint even worth wasting in a trifle.

Gutted, knew straight away there was something wrong, I thought my dishwasher rinse aid needed topping up. A slightly medicinal/perfume type taste. Not tummy warming and rich at all. Will not buy again, sadly.

The taste is not as deep and rich as before. It tastes / feels watered down, and the flavours that made the original so special seem to be missing. Seems thinner. I've always drank it at room temperature (and certainly not chilled, which is advised on the label). This does not appear to be the only forum where customers have raised issues about the taste having changed; this is despite the Harvey's Sherry website stating that there has been no change to the production / blending etc.

Agree with other comments especially as my wife cut her finger on the screw top. Harveys Bristol Cream is no longer special and Harveys have ruined the perfect aperitif. Any suggestions of a good quality replacement?

The old label was attention grabbing, the new label is uninspiring like the liquid contained within the bottle, this is not the great sherry that Harveys Bristol Cream used to produce but a very poor cheaper version. No longer the go to sherry for special occasions or an aperitif to enjoy any time. Harveys please bring back the original sherry and get rid of this substandard imitation.

Harvey’s used to be my go to before dinner aperitif. The white labeled, corked bottle has not only been cheapened by a screw cap, but the product has been watered down as well. Drink it over ice ? Craziest thing I’ve ever heard of, tried it, did not enjoy. C’est la vie !

Oh ! Harveys, what have you done ? Ruination, dreadful, how could you spoil such a perfect sherry ?

It used to be the best Sherry I ever knew. Drank it all the time going back to the early 60s. Now with the cheap screwtop and reformulated wine, it tastes like cheap wine with a disgusting after taste. Very disappointing. The screwtop says it all!
