Christmas in Ireland is a magical time. From Irish coffees to a Guinness in the pub on Christmas Eve, and a Christmas Day swim at Forty Foot, the festive season has so much to enjoy. It also, luckily for us, has some fantastic whiskeys. So if you are an Irish whiskey lover, bring some Irish cheer into your household this Christmas with an Irish whiskey advent calendar.
I have put together a list of three Irish whiskey advent calendars that will help you count down the days until Christmas, with a warming dram by the fire. Not an Irish whiskey fan? No problem. Check out these Bourbon & American Whiskey Advent Calendars. Not a whiskey fan at all? Check out these spirit advent calendars for people who don’t like whiskey.
