nowt wrong with a wee half bottle now and then but yeah it does taste a bit like perfume - been a while since i drunk any, a couple of years back at xmas i got the mrs' mum a bottle cause she's quite a snooty English woman, i told her it was like Sherry, god she was pissed as a fart come tea time and slavering a ton of s*** - brought her down a peg or two
