I bought this blend to see if it could match the goodness that is Firedance Flake. It didn't; the two aren't very similar. It shines on its own though. The blackberry is most prominent. It isn't overly sweet, thanks to the brandy. It does have a level of natural sweetness that one would expect a blackberry to have, however. The brandy flavour stays a little ways off in the background. It isn't always detectable, but when it is it adds a nice depth to the flavour. The blackberry and brandy work together in a very interesting way that can really make you think about the blend. At the same time, if you just want to turn your brain off and not think this blend is great for that too. You don't have to think very hard to appreciate the wonderful blackberry. 8.9/10
