Stop the presses! Stop the Freshly Presses! This is big news! Egyptian Judicial Strike, Syrian rebels shooting down government MIGs, the Fiscal Cliff noise, Palestinian Statehood, RG3 passing Peyton Manning for most sold jersey…? No! This!
Yes, that’s right, you can forget the cheap chocolate version of the advent calendar and instead enjoy a dram of your favourite tipple each day of the silly season. Frankly if you’ve braved the crowds and been out shopping then you’ll probably need a drink when you get home! Master of Malt offer two versions of the‘advent calendar’ for your sipping pleasure, one for the Gin lush in your life and one for the Whisky drinker.
That was written by Daniel Priseman over at bitters & twisted, who just introduced me to Master of Malt’s Whisky Advent Calendar!
Master of Malt’s Whisky Advent Calendar, the best way yet to (literally) stumble through the holidays!
Now I can’t tell if this is their first year offering this (I’m at work where “adult” sites like MofM are blocked, but this was a must-notify-you-immediately type situation), but it’s definitely the first year I’ve encountered it! I mean, Master of Malt, known for their unique and rare offerings of delicious whiskys from the top producers (all producers, really), providing us with 24 days (or is it 25?) of festive spirits! There are a lot of exclamation points in this post!!!
But what’s not to get excited about? I’m excited! I am pressed to say this may be the merriest of merrys that I’ve ever seen. The advent calendar is retailing for around $240, but considering it’s 24 tastings of excellent whisky; value must be considered. So, if you have a whisky lover in your life and want to get them an early and unique gift, I think you just found your answer. Point of note: Master of Malt also has a Gin Advent Calendar.
Make sure to check out Dan Priseman’s article featuring these little gifts of happy inebriates, titled “The spirit of giving: cocktail and spirit gifts for this Christmas,” as it’s loaded with goodies for the cockailier in us all!
Oh, merry day!
I’ll take one of those….;-)
Bourbon producers should take note.
This is so incredible!!! Have several people this would be great for (including ourselves!)

I know, right? Blending childlike gaiety with adult tastes has never been more perfectly performed!
Awesome!
