Henrik Johansson
Apperance: Pale gold
Nose: Refreshing straight nose with good complexity. Solvent fruity elements with a hint of burnt sugar, vanilla, white chocolate and lemon lime soft drink, maybe some malted milk. Some sea spray with dilution, but still a predominance of solvent, fresh and citric fruit elements like pear drops, peach sweets, bubble gum and rum toft. Also some cut paper and perhaps a very light mossiness.
Body: Medium, sticky tears
Palate: Starts on the dry side but imediately becomes sweeter. It develops some burnt sugar and eventually some of the acidic fruitiness found in the nose, but not as dominant. The finish is long and extends the impression left by the nose. Good balance and enjoyable, well composed.

What a nice coconut nose with some peppery and fruity hints on the background. (Discrete) citrus fruit touches, green apple and plum jam as well. Very engaging nose anyway. The domination of pepper mixed with coconut improves with the time.
The first mouth is very pleasant as well, at least when the burning effect of the alcohol has been forgotten. Nice presence of coconut as well. Perfect balance between nutty notes, slightly acid (citrus) hints and spices.
The finish is long and prolongs perfectly the mouth. Hints of pepper, coconut and slightly woody notes prolong the pleasure for long minutes.
