Yeah I had that in my advent calendar last year. I'll just say this: they won't be changing the name of "Scotch" to "Swedes" anytime soon. Not great.
On another note, I have been gifted a Japanese (scotch) whiskey advent calendar this year. My general consensus for most of these scotches is this: They are nicely balanced, but lack significant flavor or body or color. A very Japanese-style take on the product. Not bad, but just doesn't hit you the same way.
Some of them have been downright bad though. Not every Japanese whiskey is worth drinking.
