Henrik Johansson
Appearance: Like new engine oil with sparkling pearls. Old Gold.
Nose: Mellow and warming. Quite clean with fruity scents. Slightly oily and medicinal, a bit of rose scent, very fragrant. Develops a bit of smoke with water, burnt grass and stronger fruitiness.
Flavour: Smooth mouth feel. Very clean and creamy. Oily, dense and chemical, but very mellow. Like scented children's medicine and cocked vegetables.
Development: The dram stands up very well against air exposure. After an hour; light sweat drop, the slight smoke I noticed earlier has now vanished almost entirely to be replaced by a mossy aroma. Still feels sort of chemical.
Comments: A nice dram to go with coffee or a cigar.
2009
This whisky distinguishes itself by the sweetness of his smell and taste. The second tasting just confirms the first one. A nose dominated by a quite malt and a rather round taste. This whisky is however far away from the whiskies with strong personality, but there is nothing wrong with it.
2004A nice nose, somewhere between pepper and fruit, nicely complex. Pleasant sea notes, salt and a light woody bitterness.
The impression in the palate is pleasant and smooth despite the light dominant bitterness.
The finish prolongs perfectly the mouth. Pleasant but not spectacular.

2004A light peat hint delights the nose immediately. The fragrances in the mouth are pleasant and the malty sweetness, so typical for the area is present as well. A very good whisky, balancing the sweetness and the character. The particular maturing method made a very great and surprisingly malt. If Glenfiddich is the world around best seller, it is not known as producing the best whisky. This bottle is the exception.
