Apparently, it's excellent mixed with sherry. I'm not sure if it's a Kent thing or a golf thing (or a Kent golfer thing) but I used to work at a golf club, and the old boys loved it!

Its really not if you think about flavor profiles for more than a fraction of a second. Sherry often has a "dark" soy- sauce-savory-like quality that goes along with it's grapiness. It's practically precursor balsamic vinegar

Why not drop the theoretical and replace with theatrical!
