Advent, reimagined.

Our seventh annual Australian Whisky Advent Calendar is once again designed to take whisky lovers on a month-long roller coaster ride of handmade Australian drams. With more than two dozen whiskies simmering in its belly, the only thing that's left is to grab a tasting glass and a comfortable seat. You're going to want a nice stable seat because some of the drams inside this edition are going to blow your socks off.

A total of 25 small batch whiskies from 25 different Australian distilleries are hiding behind the slots of this calendar, each of them handmade in small batches from TAS, NSW, VIC, SA and WA. The majority of this year's drams are single malts, many of which have been aged in truly magnificent casks. You'll find whiskies from acclaimed distilleries like Lark and Archie Rose intermingled with incredible drams from boutique producers like Waubs Harbour and Kinglake.

If this isn't a surefire way to kick off the festive season, then we don't know what is. Behind each door is a bottle of premium Australian whisky, presented in one of our signature 30ml matte-black glass bottles. The calendar also comes with access to a set of exclusive tasting notes. Jump on the website using the code on the back of the calendar to reveal interesting facts about the featured distillery and whisky you're about to taste each day.

The entire calendar weighs over 3kg, which is another reason, other than the obvious one, why it isn't suitable for children.

Trees grown from whisky.

It’s estimated that half of the original forested area in eastern Australia has been lost. The 2020 bushfires alone destroyed 19 million acres and affected around three billion animals. We’ve partnered with ReForest Now to help establish new rainforests to hopefully one day turn the tide on habitat loss. The sale of every advent calendar, including this one, raises funds for ReForest Now which directly results in new trees being planted.

'Wombat's Hollow'

The common wombat is found in forested, mountainous, and heathland areas that typically offer ample vegetation for food. The other two species of wombats, the Northern and Southern hairy-nosed wombat, prefer sandy soils which are easier for burrowing. ‘Wombat’s Hollow’, the artwork that emblazons this advent calendar, was created by our in-house designer using a mix of hand drawn vector art, AI generated textures, a sample bottle and many hours of Photoshop editing.

Surprises are safe with us.

These Whisky Advent Calendars are shipped in plain brown cardboard shipping boxes to maximise the surprise factor. We never include invoices or receipts with orders.
