A second tasting confirmed the first one. The acid character of this whisky is dominating. The finish was shorter than the first time.
2004The nose detects some slightly acid smells, barley mixed with acid fruits.
The palate confirms this impression, andthe acidity is slightly dominant, even if it remains a pleasant whole with the other discrete aromas.
A relative long finish completes the picture of this good though not essential whisky.
2003Henrik Johansson
Apperance: Pale gold
Nose: Quite herbal and slightly flowery, sea weedy and grain like. Quite a prickle at 43% ABV. The more subtle aromas are surpressed by alcohol related aromas. Some perfumes get through. The diluted dram lends some lemon peels in addition
Body: Quite light, but firm and with long tears.
Palate: Confirms the nose, a little salty, sea weedy and malty. Altogether more pleasant than the nose. It's a fresh little highlander which lacks personality. The diluted dram is a little bit more pleasant still, but not any more complex. I forgot about this one as soon as I lowered the glass.
2008At the third tasting, the nose was rather pleasant and discrete, with some slight touches of citrus fruit on a bitter malt background.
In the palate, this whisky is rather pleasant, without complexity but without flaw.
The finish is short, but the whole is not bad, and deserves a better quotation than at first tastings
