Alas, we have arrived at the end of this years journey. And fortunately, it ends on a good note. Green Spot delivers a very interesting yet enjoyable drink here.
First thing that hits the nose is a load of Citrus Zest, with some White Pepper that gives it a bit of a bite, and a sweet yet a bit sour note of Raspberries. And for some reason a dose of Nail Polish that I do not like. No idea where that one comes from.
The taste starts of with Raspberries coated in dark chocolate, some brown sugar and cinnamon cookies, and a layer of salted butter. On fresh baked bread. Quite sweet but balanced by a certain earthy, bread like quality. Interesting combination. Also, I am a sucker for salted butter (you barely find it here), so that is always a treat.
The aftertaste is very Nougat like, with some very distinct bread and malt notes. Linger for a decent while.
It's been fun. I still have a couple dozen samples sitting around, so I will return occasionally, and whenever I open a new bottle. That's my plan for the next year, until Advent comes again, then we will repeat this. At least I hope I can find 24 samples that I haven't written a note on yet.
I wish y'all Merry Christmas. Have a good time, enjoy yourselves, and have a dram. Cheer folks.

@Reverend357 Merry Christmas! Vita Dulcis has a nice range of whisky calendars and they are heavily discounted after Christmas. I bought the 'premium' one for next year, but they have offers from 60 € up to 2500 €. https://www.worldwidespirits.de/vita-dulcis-adventskalender-whisky
