Why you need a Whisky Advent Clendar
Christmas time is all about tradition. Pulling crackers and wearing crap paper crowns at dinner. The insistence on eating turkey and sprouts, food so inadequate 95% of the population swears off them for the rest of the year (if you have to cook something with bacon and nuts, it’s rubbish. Don’t come at me sprout people). Watching Die Hard because you love to start an argument and you want to divide the room on whether it’s a Christmas film or not.
Advent is one of the season's best traditions. But the days of chocolate and tiny trinkets being the only options are long gone. This is the era of the premium Advent Calendars and, without wanting to blow our own trumpet, nobody does a Whisky Advent Calendar better than us. In each, there are 24 hand-picked drams of some of the finest spirits in the world, making the perfect present for that special someone, which can include yourself. But if you’re still debating, we can help.
Here's why a Whisky Advent Calendar is an absolute must-have.

The perfect present
Struggling to find a gift for the whisky lover in your life? A Whisky Advent Calendar is a thoughtful, interesting, and luxurious gift that manages to be more original than a bottle of an old favourite while also making sure they’re still getting that thing they love: good whisky. It’s basically 24 mini presents in one, making it the gift that keeps on giving.
Bang for your buck
Premium whisky isn’t a cheap present and you might be nervous about committing to one bottle, but an advent calendar gives you the option of gifting a delicious and diverse selection of whiskies without breaking the bank.
A collector's joy
Whisky fans like collecting whisky and both the drams inside the calendar, and the actual calendar itself can become a collectable. Particularly as they look so smart. You could even reuse the box year after year, filling it with a selection of miniatures you choose.
Discover and travel from the comfort of your home
You could try and travel the world and taste new whisky and we highly recommend that you do so. But that’s not exactly the cheapest or easiest thing to organise, so a whisky advent calendar saves you that trouble by bringing the wide and wonderful world of whisky into your home in one convenient and curated selection.
A mini masterclass
Behind each window, there isn’t just a whisky, but a new story. Within every spirit is a tale about a distillery, a process, a region, a history, and a unique character. You can read more about every dram on our website and then go even deeper on our blog and distillery pages. A Whisky Advent Calendar will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the art of whisky-making.
Share the love
A whisky isn’t a whisky until it’s shared. Swap tasting notes, discuss preferences, and savour every dram and moment with someone dear and we guarantee you’ll create memories you’ll look back on fondly.
To discover new favourites
Once you've journeyed through 24 different whiskies, you'll have almost certainly reacquainted yourself with an old favourite or discovered a new one. It’s a try-before-you-buy gem that will mean when you come to purchase your next full-sized bottle in the future you can ensure that your money is well-spent on a whisky that truly resonates with your palate.
To make this the best Christmas yet
Christmas isn’t just a day and advent is one of the best demonstrations of that. The build up and the festivities of the whole season are often as satisfying as the day itself, arguably even more so. A whisky advent calendar gives every day a touch of Christmas magic.
