The Whisky Club Advent Calendar 2022

It’s time to properly get into the Christmas spirit - or spirits with this liquid feast of 24 exceptionally curated mini malts.

What’s in it? Well, for the time being we’re keeping that behind tiny closed, cardboard doors. But for those of you who like sticky-beaking in the prezzies cupboard before the big day (you know who you are), here’s a cheeky peek.

We’ve been collecting drams from everywhere that Santa normally delivers presents and assuming you’ve been good all year, whisky glory awaits. 

All we can say is that you can expect a mouth-watering array of fantastic Club favourites from Scotland and Ireland, peaking with a superb 32YO! Plus some excellent malts from around the world including France, the US, New Zealand and even Finland. 

This boundary-breaking, horizon-expanding box of Christmas joy is a must-have for any whisky lover. How else can you enjoy fantastic single malts, great old Scotches and other gems from award-winning distilleries on four continents?
