Walker's Shortbread Strathspey Rich Holiday Fruit Cake, Luxury Holiday Treat, 17.6 Oz Box

Walkers Strathspey Rich Fruit Cake — truly the Dowager Countess of desserts. One does not merely nibble this cake, one experiences it, preferably with a sherry in one hand and disdain for lesser puddings in the other. The marzipan topping is as smooth as a Highland lullaby, and the cake itself? Positively brimming with juicy vine fruits and a hint of scandal.Now, I must confess (clutching pearls theatrically) — it was so divine, so utterly scrumptious, I marched straight back and ordered another one… or perhaps several. One cannot, after all, risk a fruitcake famine during times of civilised tea-taking. And might I add, it arrived beautifully boxed, as if it were a Christmas truce offering from the Scottish highlands themselves.Five stars, a standing ovation, and a small curtsy from me. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a slice awaiting its destiny beside a proper cuppa.

If you like British fruit cake then you’ll love this! A wee bit pricey but some things are just worth it 🙂

We love these and have been disappointed to find them only available in local stores at Christmas time. So thrilled to find them here out of the “holiday season”.

I bought these as a treat for myself, and walkers is always fantastically high quality. the essence of Glenfiddich in it was very tasteful as someone who does not like alcohol, and the crust was fantastic. the mince had a rich spice blend that was not too sweet and not overpowering, the only complaint that I had was due to the traditional nature of the mince there appear to be some occasional tiny pieces of grape seeds inside, causing hard crunchiness that is 100% tolerable but was not something I expected upon biting into the pie. I will definitely be ordering these again

Excellent fruit cake! Tastes like my Mom’s!!

I love the Walkers shortbread and was excited to try these mincemeat meat pies (BTW there is NO meat in them they have a spiced fruit mix filling, I adding that as my mom was initially shocked when I told her I was going to try them as I am a vegetarian, haha). A couple of the pies in my box had small cracks in the top pastry but I did not take off any stars as know these are not made in the US and I am now totally in love with how they taste, but it would be good if they could come up with some non-plastic protection for them.But the the taste, oh wow, I had intended to heat up one mincemeat pie for dessert as a special treat but opened up the tray and they smelled so amazing I had to try one and then another:) Next time I will heat one first and to try and make sure I do that I stored the uneaten ones in the freezer!

I can’t recommend this. I wanted inexpensive fruitcake and I got expensive raisin bread.

Tasty, but the amount of pudding is very small for the price - even with the larger size, it only fed four mouths and was gone in an instant. It was a nice treat, but too expensive to try again.
