I never thought I would ever be writing about Advent calendars but here I am – a changed man. You can blame the booze.
This the Ginvent Calendar, a collaboration between Drinks by the Dram and the Gin Foundry. Each of the 24 windows hides a different 3cl sample of fantastic gin. There are market leaders and craft treats alongside new brands and even some hard to find gems, but we won’t give it all away just yet… You may wish for it to be a surprise! Buy it here.
This is the Whiskey advent calendar by Drinks by the Dram. Behind each of the 24 windows lies a different 3cl Drinks By The Dram sample of delicious whiskey, so this year be sure to count down to Christmas in style. Highlights among this year’s 24 drams include a rare 50-year-old Scotch, an award-winning Japanese whiskey and the World’s Best Blended Whiskey (World Whiskies Awards 2014). Each handmade, wax-sealed dram allows whisky fans to sample a new whisky, tasting everything from single grain whiskey to rare Scotch worth up to £350 a bottle…buy it here.
Don’t worry if you don’t like Gin or Whiskey, they also make a vodka and tequila advent calendar.
