(Vita Dulcis Advent Calendar 17/24)
Nose: fruity and nutty, not overly sweet, oily, raisins, the nose calls to me that this is a quality whisky somehow, it feels mature but not old
Palate: oily sweet like raisins in sweet milk, a lot of woody tannins, orange peel, tangerine juice, bitter almonds and other nuts
Finish: very nice, wood and orange oil, a nice ginger spicyness, dark chocolate, bitter orange
Verdict: I really liked it, that 12 years suit it very well and it feels proper mature for its age, I also like that it less sweet and more spicy, I could see myself drinking this here and there

The Mortlach range has been on my mind recently. Wondering whether to start with the 12 or spend the extra for the 16 or 20. Your notes make this one sound pretty tasty.
