(Vita Dulcis Advent Calendar 6/24) Nose: fresh bright green & yellow apples, white sugar syrup, some vanilla, caramelized granola, floral notes, fresh cut wood and some fresh peaches / apricots Palate: super sweet and light, a bid nutty but the bright fruity flavors from the nose are dominating Finish: fermented apple juice (already with the prickly sensation), quite hot, feels very young Verdict: nose not very interesting, palate and finish are quite simple and sweet, too one-sided, this whisky is basically boozy fruit juice, the only positive aspect really is the slight nuttiness on the palate and finish

I could sense peaty, even thou it says is more fruity. No water to be as added, let it sit for a while.
Citrus notes on the nose, very smooth at cask strength. Honey notes, buttery notes, short finish
Strong fruity and floral whisky. Everyday's dram for a broken mind
Turpentine, stewed fruit, pine. Nothing to write home about.
