What happens when the likes of That Boutique-y Gin Company and Drinks by the Dram team up to create their own advert calendar for Gin fanatics? Well, to be clear it’s a sense-indulging phenomenon and will leave you desperately wishing for bigger bottles of ‘the good stuff’. This year there will be no tiny squares of chocolate for you to find here, oh god no – instead, you’ll be discovering a lustful list of 24 different 30ml wax-sealed sample drams of incredible, inventive, glorious tasting gins from the Boutique-y selection. Prepare your tastebuds for combinations such as Honey Pomelo, Neroli, Spitroast Pineapple, Smoked Rosemary and so much more. If you think you’ll be able to go back to a normal advent calendar next year you’re truly mistaken, for once you’ve tasted the punchy, dizzying heights of gin by the dram you’ll never look back. £49.95, Available Masterofmalt.com
