If you've lost the appreciation for Advent calendars, there's an easy way to put some kick back into the concept. Flaviar's Whiskey Advent is consistently one of my favorite December traditions, and I got a firsthand look at this year's high-flying edition.
With its 2025 Whiskey Advent Calendar, Flaviar's premium tasting is soaring to new heights. This holiday season, my perennial favorite is reimagining the tradition with a vintage aviation theme that pays homage to the glamorous golden age of air travel, accompanied by 24 vials of premium liquor to ease you into the holiday.

The collection spans bourbon, rye, Scotch and Japanese whisky, and even includes a surprise Cognac offering.
