The story of Harveys Bristol Cream

Harveys Bristol Cream starts with a wine merchant in Denmark Street, Bristol, set up in 1796 by William Perry and Thomas Urch. Urch's nephew John Harvey joined as an apprentice, rose to senior partner, and by 1871 the firm was trading as John Harvey and Sons. His sons John and Edward went on to develop a richer blend than the firm's sweetened oloroso, which was sold as Bristol Milk. The name Bristol Cream was adopted and trademarked in 1882, and the brand helped create the cream sherry category.

Today the sherry is blended and bottled in Jerez in southern Spain. The recipe brings together four styles, fino, amontillado, oloroso and Pedro Ximénez, with the sun dried Pedro Ximénez grapes adding sweetness and a creamy finish. The result is a dark amber sherry, sold in the Bristol blue glass bottle the brand has used since 1994.

Serve it well chilled, over ice with a slice or twist of orange. The sweetness also suits a slice of Christmas cake, a wedge of blue cheese or a sticky date pudding.
