Containing some of America’s best-loved spirits, these advent calendars offer bourbon and American whiskey lovers some top-quality drams in the countdown to Christmas. So, let’s take a look at three of the best bourbon and American whiskey advent calendars on the market. I have also put together a selection of advent calendars for people who don’t like whiskey. You can see them here.
Americana Collection Whiskey, Bourbon & Rye Advent Calendar By The Spirit Co.

BUY NOW: £149.99
The American Collection advent calendar is one for the explorers, featuring whiskeys from across America and even some single barrel expressions. 24 drams wait behind 24 doors for you to enjoy neat or in a cocktail as the countdown to Christmas Day begins.
Without giving too much away (you can see the full contents list here), drinkers can expect Kentucky Straight Bourbons, Texas single malts, and pre-prohibition-style Maryland ryes.
You can purchase your calendar here.
Bourbon & American Whiskey Advent Calendar 2024 By Drinks By The Dram

BUY NOW: £129.95
In this first bourbon and American whiskey advent calendar from Drinks By The Dram, whiskey lovers will find a wide variety of some of America’s favorite whiskey brands. These include Bulleit, F.E.W., Michter’s, and Uncle Nearest (I won’t name the expressions, let’s leave those as a surprise).
This calendar also comes with 25 drams instead of the traditional 24, meaning that you can enjoy a warming dram of bourbon or whiskey on Christmas Day with your feet up by the fire.
If you would like to know the contents of the calendar, a list can be found on this page.
The Bourbon & American Whiskey Advent Calendar By Drinks By The Dram

BUY NOW: £149.95
This second offering from Drinks By The Dram does have a little overlap with the calendar above (nine expressions, according to the contents list). However, the remaining 15 drams offer something different and unique, including a bourbon finished in a Tawny port barrel.
24 doors wait to be opened in this calendar. Perhaps you have a 70cl bottle of bourbon that you can crack open on Christmas Day? Again, you can read the contents list if you would like to, but I will give a quite obvious spoiler warning.
