YEAR THREE

The 2024 American Whiskey Calendar.

2024 marks the third year and the second consecutive advent calendar entirely curated and managed solo. This exclusive event is capped at 24 participants, each contributing an inflation-free $200. Transitioning to reusable supplies in 2023 means nearly all of the 2024 funding is dedicated to the contents of the bottles, elevating our average bottle expenditure into the $90s. Participants will savor 24 unique American whiskeys in 2-ounce servings from December 1st to 24th.

This year's calendar introduces a unique brand daily, featuring annual releases, distiller picks from a Louisville trip, new market entries, and a broader price range. Notably, five bottles boast an MSRP at or exceeding $125, a significant jump from last year's offering. The average proof this year is 107.4, with one spirit reaching an impressive 133.34 proof! As is tradition, we're keeping it to just American-made whiskies. With so many great bourbons and ryes to choose from, we opt to exclude anything else; #America!

Enthusiasm is palpable among old friends, new acquaintances, and whiskey enthusiasts alike. We're excited to reconvene on Slack for daily discussions before and after unveiling each day's treasure.

Check back here in December at 8:30 PM CT daily for the next bottle to be revealed!
