Niall’s virtual diary archives – Sunday 3rd January 2016

After the Oloroso, the Palo Cortado and the Sercial in increasing sweetness comes this Amontillado which Megan particularly likes. I bought this in a shop in Mallow, so it's quite sweet though nothing like as sweet as a typical sherry in Ireland. Compared to the previous three, this is a flat tasteless boring sherry which almost seems like it's been watered down with sugar water or something, but in truth it's not bad compared to Harvey's Bristol Cream which is one of the most popular in the British Isles.
