Holiday Spirit Calendars And Collections Have Arrived!
The holiday season is always one of the best times of the year around WhiskyCritic if not for the sole reason that it means the advent of the various whisky-themed calendars that pop up at this time of the year as well as special whisky collections – such as those by Drinks by the Dram. For the 2016 holiday season, Drinks by the Dram has introduced four such collections – but WC only cares about the whisky and premium whisky collections.
Drinks by the Dram’s Whisky Christmas Crackers retails for $60 and contains drams of whisky from distilleries such as Glenfarclas, Glengoyne and Kilchoman. Meanwhile, if you really like somebody, then for $90, you can get them Drinks by the Dram’s Premium Whisky Christmas Crackers which contains several upscale whiskies including the world’s best blended whisky.
Additionally, of course, there are the whisky calendars and for those, the holiday gift-buying whisky-o-phile may purchase calendars dedicated to several different kinds of whiskies – Scotch, American, Irish and Japanese – along with whisky calendars full of Glenfarclas single malt and independent whisky bottlings from That Boutique-y Whisky Company.
If you really, really like someone – or just want it for yourself – you can purchase the 2016 Drinks by the Dram Very Old & Rare Whisky Advent Calendar for a mere $13,000 that features a handmade ebony or walnut-finished wooden box built by UK-based cabinet-maker Simon Jewell Designs and contains 24 individually numbered 30ml drams of some of the world’s most prestigious whiskies.
