Blurb  - "We took the classic fruity Vimto flavour and added a generous helping of sweet raspberry juice".

Short and sweet? Interesting twist.

Cutting to chase, unusually, this is really rather good. Excellent layering brings a strong, sweet and sharp raspberry in the first part of the inhale This then develops in to a more subtle mix of dark fruits leading to more raspberry going through the exhale and ending up with the blob of dark fruit. The changes make it interesting but everything fits together very well. The raspberry certainly has a tarte tang to it and gives a nice contrast to the mix of dark fruit. The dark fruit isn't strong - we aren't looking at a right hook on the chin from Kell Brook kind of Kernow Black dark fruit - but very nice, none the less and it certainly tames the initial blast of the raspberry.

Couple of minor issues (Of course...) - The use of 'slush' is mildly curious. There is no cold/menthol/WS-23 here. I can only guess that for marketing 'slush' is considered slightly more attractive than 'mush'. The overall strength of this one is very good (says he who loves strong fruit flavours). The ice lover in me would love to try this again with 2% WS-23.

Overall, I was going to go for a very solid 8/10. However, the 120ml bottle shot is only £5.99, so well worth 8.5/10.

Sweet, sharp, fruity and a little bit different - give it a go
