Advantages: taste, smell the whole package

Disadvantages: Still not as available in Scotland as it should be

Vimto takes me back to my childhood. Growing up in Scotland mostly through the 80's Vimto wasnt readily available in my local area Irn-Bru was probably the preffered drink. We used to visit friends in Manchester about once a year and it was them who introduced me to this lovely drink.

Its very dark purple/ berry colour when its poured from the bottle and obviously gets lighter when water or lemonade is added. The thing that strikes me most is the smell, its completely unique and hard to describe and it always gives me fond memorys of my childhood.

The taste is again hard to describe, you can tell there is blackcurrants and other berries in it but theres somthing differnt thats hard to put your finger on. Its very sweet to and dont think you would be buying just another blackcurrant juice, its not its so much better. One of the nicest ways to enjoy it is with hot water rather than cold MMMMM MMMMMM MMMMM!

Summary: Lovely drink
