Designed for the more intrepid whiskey explorer, this set includes traditional Scotch and Irish whiskies from brands you've definitely heard of, as well as some more unusual drams, such as a smoked rye from Finland and a French single malt. An Advent calendar is used in some Christian traditions to count down the days until Christmas, with a small door opened each day from December 1 through Christmas Day that has a treat behind it. Traditionally, Advent calendars have small chocolates or toys inside, but they've also become a popular gift for anyone who wants to celebrate the holiday season, with Advent calendars full of wine, coffee, beer, cosmetics samples, and more. If you’re giving a whisky Advent calendar as a gift and want to personalize it yourself, this DIY version is perfect. The 14-inch fir tree is shaped from smooth Baltic birch plywood, and you can select a clear coat or charred finish. (The maker also offers an unfinished option that you can paint or stain to your taste.) Plus, you get to curate a selection of 24 mini bottles to the tastes of your loved one. The Christian season of Advent (from the Latin Adventus, meaning coming, in reference to the birth of Jesus) begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, which is in late November or early December depending on the year. (In 2023, Advent starts on December 3.) However, Advent calendars usually only represent the days in December. So you would open the first panel on December 1 and reveal another surprise every day through Christmas. Most Advent calendars include 24 items and end on Christmas Eve (December 24), but some with 25 items end on Christmas Day (December 25). For the Scotch lover who wants to splurge a bit, The Really Good Whisky Company Advent Calendar offers drinkers samples of 25 (a bonus over the usual 24) stellar whiskies to get into the spirit of the season. There are four levels of Scotch priciness available (plus three more with other types of whiskey) for 2023, from the Luxury Collection's array of hard-to-find single malts bottled at up to 30 years old to this...less-stratospheric collection, with a nothing-to-sneeze-at mix of single malts and blends. Each dram also includes a link to flavor notes and a guided video tasting.

With a massive explosion in demand from fans around the world, many Japanese whiskies have become nearly impossible to find. This collection is an incredible opportunity to taste through many of Japan's top distilleries, including Yamazaki, Hibiki, Nikka, and Mars. It's perfect for anyone who already loves Japanese whisky or anyone who's never had the chance to try any. Reflecting the rarity of these samples, the Drinks by the Dram Japanese whisky calendar is a bit more expensive than the brand's other options. A whiskey Advent calendar includes two dozen tiny bottles of booze, so even one on the lower end won't be cheap. The format is also a great way to get a small taste of incredibly rare spirits that aren't available anywhere else, and fancy whiskey Advent calendars can get really expensive. One (potentially) money-saving option is a DIY calendar: Fill your own holder with mini-bottles. This is also a great way to customize the whiskey selection to the recipient's taste.

His bar is deep with rare single malts, hard-to-find bourbons, and ryes, but he doesn't believe there's anything too precious to share with friends. Advent calendars are more popular in the UK on on our shores, which is part of why so many boozy ones feature Scotch. This anomaly has nothing but American-made spirits, with sweet bourbons and spicy ryes (and one single malt) from all across the country.
