Gin Advent Calendar 2023

Christmas always comes quickly. Suddenly there's that Advent calendar again and the 24 countdown begins. Chocolate in the shape of angels and Santa Clauses, washed down with coffee. But there's another way: with a gin advent calendar, you land a real bull's eye every day. Behind each door, you'll dive deeper into the infinite worlds of juniper spirits.

Gin Advent calendars bring excitement into December. Gin in particular, with its countless recipes, is perfect for pre-Christmas variety. This high-proof surprise box is a must-have for any gin lover and a "meet-or-greet" gift. With the Gin Advent Calendar you make beginners and advanced happy. The beginner gets 24 insights into the fascinating gin galaxy. The connoisseur gets to know pleasures that are not every day on the shelves of beverage retailers. And maybe you'll find the gin of your life behind one of these doors.

With the well-known chocolate advent calendars, you know the problem: you can't drink that much coffee to wash down some bad chocolate. There are subtle differences in gin advent calendars, too. Collections of questionable waters from no-name distilleries don't belong on your wall. How can you recognize a good gin advent calendar? Let's name three constants: Presentation, content, information.

Presentation: An advent calendar is something for the eye. This also applies to the gin advent calendar. The thing should not fall apart as soon as you open the first door. Desirable would be: A chic combination of spirits flair and Christmas; and a stable and clear division. But much more important - after all, it's about drinking - is the next point.

Deco is secondary. It's the content that counts. And there should be something good in the bottles. These need not and should not be the best-known, most renowned distilleries in the world. On the contrary, it's the discoveries that make the gin search fun. But - please everything comprehensible. Under gin - who is surprised at the number of recipes - runs along many a cloudy water. So: What's in your gin advent calendar must have a comprehensible name. Traceable means: disclosed by the calendar maker; and with a good reputation in the gin world.

And why information? Because even the most learned gintologist doesn't know everything. And because in a gin advent calendar sometimes real rarities are gathered. So ideally it needs a booklet, a printed explanatory bear. Where does the gin come from? How was it created? What style has it been dedicated to? Sometimes tasting tables and practical tasting instructions are also included. This is not schooling, this is pleasure. You never stop learning in your quest for the gin of a lifetime.

Of course, if you're not in the mood for gin, we have other beverage advent calendars in our lineup, all of which come with 24 delightful doors of your choosing.
