Whisky Advent Calendars & Spirit Advent Calendars 2026

A whisky advent calendar is Christmas countdown done properly. Instead of chocolate behind each door, you get a different miniature whisky to discover, pour and enjoy throughout December.

Our Whisky Advent Calendars for 2026 contain either 24 or 25 individual drams, with everything from classic Scotch whisky and bourbon to Irish whiskey and whiskies from around the world. It is a brilliant way to try new distilleries, compare different styles and find a few new favourites along the way.

Whether you are buying one for yourself or looking for a Christmas gift for a whisky lover, a whisky advent calendar turns every day in December into a little tasting experience. Much more exciting than another square of chocolate.

The important bit: whisky. Lots of it.

Our Whisky Advent Calendars contain either 24 or 25 individually bottled drams (usually 30ml), with a different whisky waiting to be discovered each day. Depending on the calendar you choose, you could be tasting Scotch single malts, bourbon, Irish whiskey, Japanese whisky or bottles from distilleries right around the world.

Some of our calendars also include extras such as tasting glasses, tasting journals and tasting notes. Every calendar is a little different, so check the individual product page to see exactly what is included.

That depends on what you like to drink.

If Scotch is normally your first choice, start with one of our Scotch Whisky Advent Calendars. Love bourbon and American whiskey? We have calendars dedicated to those too. If you would rather travel the whisky world without leaving the sofa, a World Whisky Advent Calendar gives you the chance to explore distilleries and styles from different countries.

More experienced whisky drinkers can explore our Premium, Single Cask, Peated and Old & Rare collections, while those who simply fancy discovering something new have plenty to choose from.

The difficult part is choosing just one.

There is no single Whisky Advent Calendar that is right for everyone, which is exactly why we stock such a big range.

Our 2026 collection includes Scotch Whisky Advent Calendars, World Whisky Calendars, Bourbon and American Whiskey Calendars, Irish Whiskey Calendars, Premium Whisky Calendars and specialist collections featuring peated, single cask and rare whiskies.

For someone new to whisky, a varied Scotch or World Whisky calendar is a great place to start. More experienced drinkers might prefer something focused on premium, unusual or older whiskies.

Have a browse, pick your favourite and prepare for a very good December.

We also sell a lrage range of other spirit based calendars, such as gin, tequila, mezcal, rum, cognac and vodka!

You will see both Whisky Advent Calendar and Whiskey Advent Calendar used across our collection, and neither is a typo.

Generally, producers in Scotland, Canada and Japan use the spelling whisky, while Ireland and the United States commonly use whiskey.

That means a Scotch Whisky Advent Calendar will normally be written without the 'e', while an Irish Whiskey or American Whiskey Advent Calendar will usually include it.

Different spelling. Same very enjoyable idea.

A Spirit Advent Calendar takes the traditional Christmas countdown and replaces the chocolate with miniature bottles of spirits.

While Whisky Advent Calendars are some of our most popular, our Spirit Advent Calendar collection goes much further. You can discover gin, rum, tequila, mezcal, cognac, vodka and even calendars containing a mixture of different spirits.

They are perfect for anyone who enjoys trying new drinks and would rather have a tasting experience than a traditional advent calendar.

Quite a few.

Our 2026 Spirit Advent Calendar collection includes whisky, whiskey, bourbon, gin, rum, tequila, mezcal, cognac, vodka and mixed spirit calendars.

There are calendars for people who already know exactly what they love and others designed for drinkers who want to try a bit of everything.

From familiar classics to unusual bottles you might never have discovered otherwise, there are plenty of ways to make December more interesting.

Absolutely, especially for someone who is difficult to buy for but loves whisky.

Instead of giving them one bottle, a Whisky Advent Calendar lets them discover 24 or 25 different drams throughout December. It turns a Christmas present into a tasting journey that lasts for weeks.

They are great gifts for whisky beginners, enthusiastic collectors and everyone in between. Just make sure you are comfortable with the possibility that you will want one for yourself once it arrives.

Our Whisky Advent Calendars contain either 24 or 25 individual whisky drams, depending on the calendar.

Traditional advent calendars normally run from 1 December through to Christmas Eve, giving you 24 days of whisky. Some of our calendars go one better and include a 25th dram for Christmas Day.

Check the individual calendar description to see exactly how many drams are included.

Yes. Our Whisky Advent Calendar collection ranges from accessible tasting calendars all the way through to seriously special premium, rare and luxury editions.

Our higher-end calendars can include older whiskies, single cask releases, prestigious distilleries and unusual bottles that are much harder to come across in an everyday tasting.

They make particularly impressive Christmas gifts, but we completely understand if you decide not to give it away once it arrives.

We are rather fond of spirits, so we have built one of our biggest collections around helping people discover them.

Our Whisky and Spirit Advent Calendar range brings together everything from approachable Scotch and World Whisky calendars to Bourbon, Irish Whiskey, Premium Whisky and Old & Rare collections, alongside gin, rum, tequila, cognac and more.

Rather than offering just one Whisky Advent Calendar, we want you to be able to choose the one that actually suits the person drinking it.

Whether that is you or someone lucky enough to be receiving it for Christmas.

We would always recommend ordering your Whisky Advent Calendar sooner rather than later.

Advent Calendars are seasonal products and many of the most popular editions are produced in limited quantities. Once December starts getting close, particular calendars can begin selling out and delivery networks get considerably busier.

If you already know which 2026 Whisky Advent Calendar you want, there is not much benefit in leaving it until the last minute.

Apart from adding a little unnecessary Christmas panic.

Great news! Yes we can ship all of our calendars to most States in the USA. If you can't seem to ship to your state, please contact us. support@thespiritco.com

Of course. Whisky Advent Calendars make brilliant Christmas gifts, particularly for someone who enjoys discovering new whiskies.

Rather than opening one present on Christmas morning, they get a new whisky to discover throughout December.
