Go on it’s the Holidays after all: Advent Calendars to suit every taste.

Why should the kids get all the fun? Advent Calendars are an amazing way to get into the festive spirit - quite literally in this case. The best part is you are completely spoiled for choice as there is a brilliant selection to choose; from approachable dram-a-day whiskies with guided tastings if you’re relatively new to whisky, right up to truly exceptional Single Malts for the whisky connoisseur. Now naturally, we are huge fans of the whisky advents – but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a superb selection of other spirit advents. Read on to see some of our favourites.

Cask Explorers Sapphire Edition

Cask Explorers have a marvellous selection of 25 day advent calendars - and we love them all! In particular, we think the Sapphire Edition is great; it has a first-rate selection of good quality, interesting drams to get you started on a whisky adventure. As an added bonus, every dram has its own QR code, which takes you to each whisky’s individual tasting notes on the Cask Explorers website.

Tour Of Scotland

Impressive and practical the Tour of Scotland advent can be enjoyed year after year. This beautiful handmade cabinet can be used to store miniature bottles long after you have enjoyed the contents; of which is 24 5cl bottles of exceptional expressions from the five Scottish Whisky regions.Two nosing glasses are also included to give a complete tasting experience.

Single Malts Of Scotland

There were a great deal of ‘oohhhs’ and ‘aaahhs’ when the Single Malts of Scotland advent arrived at HTFW, and with very good reason. Inside you will find 25 days of the best single cask expressions Scotland has to offer, ranging from 7 to 31 years in age and all at cask strength. Beautiful as it is informative, this is a must-have for lovers of iconic Single Malts.

Scotch Whisky Advent

Secret Spirits Scotch Whisky Advent is a cult favourite worldwide, and a steadfast favourite of ours. Inside you will find 25 exceptionally rare and unique drams (all 5cl miniatures), of which the vast majority are single cask matured and many aged well over 15 years. To top it all off, included inside are some additional keepsakes- a collector’s lapel pin to name one.

Peaty Whisky

Love it or hate it - peated whisky is an iconic character in the whisky world, and fascinating to try. The Peaty Whisky advent is a really great way to experience how diverse peat can be; from powerful peat monsters with a smoky explosion of medicinal and herbaceous notes, to softly smouldering Single Malts with delightfully earthy flavours.

Whisky

For those who like their Christmas spirit in the form of a dram of Whisky, this Advent Calendar is the ideal choice. It is filled with 24 wax sealed expressions from around the world, varying from magnificent Single Malts to resplendent blends – which is exactly why we love this one; it’s a super mix of everything great about whisky.

Premium Gin (2022 Edition)

Gin is incredibly popular for a very good reason. There seems to be an unlimited amount of ways this juniper based gem can adopt flavour; floral botanicals, fruity medleys - if you can dream it, there is probably an amazing gin out there to meet your palate’s desires. Fortunately for us, the best of them have been conveniently placed in the latest Premium Gin advent calendar!

O’Donnell Moonshine

The O'Donnell Moonshine Advent is packed full of amazing things; naturally you get different moonshines to try (one of which is a full sized 70cl jar!) but you also get all kinds of different O’Donnell merchandise. This advent is perfect for the individual who has tried it all and wants to try something completely different.

Of course there are so many advent calendars in our selection we love, and you can view them all in our very handy Advent Calendars Section.
