Acclaim
“Deep coppery gold and a little brighter, more transparent, than the Extra Dry 10 Year Old. Less openly aromatic too, but this may just need time to open in the glass. Aromas of dried apricot and dried grasses dominate. Sweeter on the palate (109 g/l) but still very well balanced and tasting much drier than I would have expected with this level of residual sugar. Rounded but not at all heavy, with some dried fruits on the finish giving a richer sweetness.”– 17 out of 20
