We managed to get our Whisky Advent ducks in a row a lot earlier this year, and we are thrilled to announce that our KWM 2025 Whisky Advent Tastings are now open for registration. And Early Bird Pricing is in effect on the Full Sets for two weeks, now through September 17.

While we still can’t call them Advent Calendars, to comply with the AGLC and Excise Canada, this year we are offering our Full Sets of five 5-whisky Advent Tastings in a single box. So while it may resemble an Advent Calendar, make no mistake… it is Still Not An Advent Calendar! 😉

Still Not An Advent Calendar Full Set – All KWM 2025 Whisky Advent Tastings

One of our goals every year is to try and offer as much value as we can for our participants in the Whisky Advent Tastings. By putting the Whisky Advent Tasting Full Sets back into one box this year we will cut down on our labour cost to produce them. It also allows us to include a Wee Glencairn Glass again.

We are also moving to a standardized box design with black printing on plain cardboard. This design change substantially reduces the cost of our Advent boxes, reduces waste, and allows us to put more focus on the whisky. But don’t worry, they’ll still look cool!

As a little teaser, to give you an idea of where we are going this year, I thought I’d share an image of one of the box designs we decided not to go with. This note is full of text, and begging for an image to break it up. The mockup ABOVE is NOT our KWM 2025 Whisky Advent Tastings Full Set box!

There is one other little change this year. We won’t be redacting any details on the bottle labels, as you will be able to reveal the whiskies one at a time as you open each window. But don’t be mistaken… it is Still Not An Advent Calendar… it is a collection of five 5-whisky tastings! 😉

Our KWM 2025 Still Not An Advent Calendar Full Set features an all-new range of whiskies, primarily single malt Scotch, with an average age of roughly 19 years. The oldest whisky this year is a 44 year old Scotch. Like our old Advent Calendars it will also include a Wee Glencairn Glass.

We are also producing a limited number of KWM 2025 Still Not An UBER Advent Calendar Full Set this year, similar to the UBER Whisky Calendar we produced in 2023. The average age of whiskies in the UBER edition is more than 29 years, and the oldest is 50!

Pre-Sale Early Bird Pricing is in effect on Full Sets of both the KWM 2025 Whisky Advent Tastings and KWM 2025 UBER Advent Tastings until September 17th. And if you purchase both, you will save an additional $25.

As we did last year, we are also offering the five KWM 2025 Whisky Advent Tastings for purchase individually. And…….. Still Not An Advent Calendar BOTH SETS

I know we say this every year, but our lineup(s) this year is the best one yet… for the 12th year running we are bringing you 25 Days of Dram Fine Whisky!

Plenty of details can be found below, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

There are also a handful of new and returned whiskies to fill you in on.

Sincerely,

Andrew Ferguson
