Master of Malt, in partnership with Drinks by the Dram, is looking to make the countdown to Christmas a little smoother with it’s latest range of luxury advent calendars. From sherried Scotch to premium gin, each calendar offers a daily discovery of fine drams and small-batch brilliance, as the big day approaches.
This year’s collection spans whisky, gin, rum and bourbon; these beautifully boxed editions make for elegant gifts – or a well-deserved treat for yourself.
A global tour in miniature, this calendar captures the diversity of modern whisky-making. Each of its 25 wax-sealed 30ml drams tells a story from a different corner of the whisky world. Ideal for those who like to travel via tastebuds rather than terminals.
For purists who find home comfort in the Highlands, this is a daily dose of Scotland in its most warming form. Each dram offers a glimpse into the artistry of Scotch, from peaty island malts to honeyed Speyside classics, making it a thoughtful gift for the traditionalist.
A celebration of rich, fruit-laden warmth, this sherry-matured selection is tailor-made for December evenings. Expect notes of dried fruits, spice and dark chocolate from 25 whiskies matured in oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks.
For those drawn to bold sweetness and oak-spiced character, this edition gathers top names from the States, including Michter’s, Never Say Die, Four Roses and Templeton. It’s an ideal way to explore the full range of America’s whiskey craft, from Kentucky smoothness to frontier innovation.
A calendar for the collector. These 25 handpicked drams come from some of the most respected distilleries around the world. It’s a connoisseur’s selection, the kind you open slowly and remember fondly.
A more accessible entry point, yet no less exciting, this edition showcases whiskies from top producers such as Fielden, Balvenie and Laphroaig. A perfect choice for those curious to explore different styles without straying too far from the classics.
A juniper journey through the world’s finest distilleries. Behind each of 25 doors lies a 30ml measure of something distinct, from floral and citrus-forward gins to complex, herbaceous blends. It’s a top-tier choice for anyone who values a premium G&T.
A tropical twist on tradition, this calendar brings the warmth of the Caribbean into colder climes. Each day offers a tot from a celebrated distillery, showcasing rum’s extraordinary range, from dark and spicy to sweet and mellow. By Christmas Day, you’ll be something of an expert.

For foodies, there’s no finer time. But where to eat out this Christmas? Whether you’re looking for refined street food or a multi-course blow-out, these are some of…
