Why you need a Rum Advent Calendar
Christmas time is all about tradition, and teasing the days leading up to the big one with Advent calendars filled with chocolates or tiny trinkets is oneof the most beloved. As you probably know, in recent years, Advent calendars have gone in all kinds of directions, housing just about everything from beauty products to rubber ducks.
Liquor-themed calendars offer a fresh and spirited twist and, without wanting to blow our own trumpet, we’re very much the daddy of that genre. Nobody owns drinks advent calendars like we do. Pretenders have attempted to knock our gin crown off, and we still offer the most comprehensive, creative, and quality rum advent calendar on the market.
But why would you want to add a tropical touch to your wintry Christmas countdown? Allow us to explain.

A daily dose of warmth
We just referenced blending the warmth of the tropics with the coziness of winter and as the days grow shorter and the nights colder, the warming, sun-soaked flavours of rum really come into their own. Let your rum advent calendar be a mini escape each day.
Discover and travel from the comfort of your home
Speaking of which, another beauty of a rum advent calendar is the way it transports you around the world. Rum is a global spirit, one that is crafted in Fiji and France, that crosses the sugarcane fields of the Caribbean to the island of Madeira. A rum advent calendar is like a ticket to a global tasting tour, one you can embark on without leaving your living room.
Try something new
Broadening your horizons is a huge part of the appeal of a rum advent calendar. There’s just so many producers now all making different drinks through various production methods in all corners of the earth. There’s no better way to explore than with an advent calendar filled with 24 different drams, giving you a world of flavour at your fingertips. The rum world is vast, encompassing white, gold, dark, and spiced, so this is your chance to explore this spectrum, one miniature bottle at a time.
A mini masterclass
For us drinks lovers the joy isn’t just in the tasting but also in knowing. A rum advent calendar is a month-long masterclass that will have you appreciating your favourite spirit even more come Christmas Day. Our rum guides are also particularly excellent, if we do say so ourselves, if you’d like to your learning even further.
Get creative with cocktails
You don’t have to sip each dram neat everyday. You can save your rum for a nice after work cocktail. Bonus points if you try and make a new recipe and extra ones for sharing with friends. We have a host of rum cocktail recipes here if you need inspiration.
A twist on tradition
Life is so busy and complicated these days, isn’t it? Away from the news cycle, the digital distractions, the everyday stressors is the simple, traditional, and tactile pleasure of opening a little window to discover a surprise. It’s a daily dose of nostalgia that’s elevated by the fact that it’s delicious rum you’re rewarded with. Although if you were super smart, you’d get a chocolate calendar as well and pair them throughout advent…
To make this the best Christmas yet
If Christmas was truly only about one day, it wouldn’t be much of a season. It’s the anticipation leading up to it that is often as exciting as the day itself. A rum advent calendar, with its daily dose of spirited surprises, builds up to the big day beautifully, ensuring that every day has a touch of magic and festivity.
