I bought the advent calendar for my husband. He absolutely loved it! He loved the theme and the variety of whiskeys. There was only one out of the 24 that he hated and didn't drink. I would ask him every night what he would rate that day's whiskey. There was one he rated a 10 and several 9.somethings. I was very pleased with the packaging, delivery and quality! If you or a loved one is a whiskey drinker this is a great gift!

I am greatly enjoying the calendar, especially the interesting whiskey from Okinawa and China. Have a new appreciation for Irish Whiskey. I definitely do not like the Texas, Washington, and Oregon Whiskey. It is an interesting mix with many unique offerings, but some are what they call an acquired taste.

I love that open calendars. They allow me to find stuff that I wouldn't normally pick up off the shelf. I'm very picky with my whiskey, so I only ever find three to five bottles per year that I actually like out of the calendar, but there's stuff I never find. Last year my favorite bottle was a Japanese whiskey that isn't even available in Colorado. Unless I buy it through flaviar. I would have never found it otherwise.

The whiskey lineup was outstanding this year. There was a great mix of styles, regions, and flavor profiles, so every day felt like a new discovery. I found several bottles I would never have picked up on my own and ended up adding a few to my collection.

One of the highlights for me was the Bhakta Flaviar Exclusive—it was easily one of the most memorable pours in the calendar. Overall, the lineup felt thoughtfully curated, with a strong balance of well-known favorites and unique expressions that kept things exciting throughout the month.
