No, the recipe has definitely changed. I thought last years had too much of a spice kick to it- this year's is a lot mellower...

yeah defo thought that but i havent had the chance to have a bottle this year. I wonder were they forced to change the recipe or did they go mellower to get more people to like it, surprised though as everyone seemed to love it last year
