Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Flaviar Airlines. This is your Captain speaking, and on behalf of the entire crew I’d like to thank you for choosing the 2025 Flaviar Whiskey Advent Calendar for your December travels. Please fasten your seatbelts, stow your everyday drinks in the overhead bin, and prepare for 24 days of non-stop, first-class flavor.

Every season we file a fresh flight plan, but this year we’re cruising at a whole new altitude. Inspired by the golden age of aviation—when lobster dinners, live piano, and tuxedo-clad stewards turned the sky itself into a cocktail lounge—we’ve retro-fitted our cabin with vintage glamour. Think chrome trim, plush seats, and a calendar that looks like a miniature Rimowa suitcase ready for the trans-Atlantic hop.

Slip your “passport”-style tasting booklet into the seat-back pocket, scan your Golden-Era ticket for one full year of Flaviar Black Membership, and prepare to take off to 24 legendary distilleries (a complete new selection) —direct from your own living-room terminal.

Your boarding pass grants you 24 separate destinations—each poured into a 50 ml first-class vial (enough for two passengers to share, if you’d rather not fly solo). From high-flying Kentucky bourbon and spicy American rye to peaty Islay scotch, elegant Japanese malts, and a surprise Martingale Rare Reserve Cognac layover, every dram stamps a new visa in your palate’s passport.

Tucked behind Day 1’s hatch you’ll find our BHAKTA 1928 Golden Age Blend—a visionary fusion of bold American rye and venerable French Armagnac (yes, including spirit from the 1928 vintage itself). Crafted exclusively for Flaviar’s maiden Airlines voyage, it’s the liquid equivalent of Concorde speed with Orient Express elegance. Seat-belt signs flicker; spontaneous toasts are encouraged.

• Two award-winning Glencairn glasses—your personal windows to the whiskey world.
• A passport-style tasting booklet overflowing with flavor notes, distillery lore, and blank pages for your own duty-free musings.
• Daily video-guided tastings from our head flight attendant and resident flavor pilot. Tune in, swirl, and sip along while we point out the terroir landmarks at cruising altitude.
• A VIP Lounge upgrade: Flaviar Black Membership ($40 value) unlocks year-round bottle discounts—including every full-size expression featured on this itinerary. Consider it the Executive Club with better snacks.

Whether you’re logging miles with a spouse, bonding with friends in the airport-lounge glow of twinkle lights, or gifting a whiskey wanderer who “has everything,” this calendar is a boarding call no one has heard before—and may never hear again. Forbes crowned it the “Best Spirits Advent Calendar”, while The New York Times warns: “Beware: It always sells out.” CNET simply says, “Can’t think of a better gift for a spirits lover.” When the industry’s flight controllers clear you for takeoff, you know you’re on the right runway.

History tells us the cabin fills fast. Pre-orders open now, with wheels-up shipping in September and a guaranteed touchdown before Thanksgiving (ample time to slide it under the tree or into your own cocktail cart). Reserve two units and the fare per ticket drops—ideal for gifting a co-pilot or stocking your own frequent-flavor program.

Once these calendars reach cruising altitude, they disappear from radar until next year’s model. No standby list, no hidden jump-seats—just a hard sell-out every December. So check your passport, adjust your ascot, and click “Pre-Order” before the seat-belt light dims.

As we begin our descent, remember: in December your living room transforms into a private jet, the legroom is infinite, and every pour is duty-free. From all of us at Flaviar Airlines, thank you for flying. We can’t wait to share a holiday journey that lands you in 24 time zones of whiskey wonder—without ever leaving the couch.

Tray tables up, glasses out—cheers to a golden-age December.
