Harveys Bristol Cream is a classic aperitif sherry, best serves very cold. Offers nutty, raisin notes.

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.
