YEAR FOUR

The 2025 American Whiskey Calendar.

2025 marks the fourth year and the third consecutive advent calendar entirely curated and managed solo. This exclusive experience is capped at 24 participants, each contributing another inflation-free $200. Transitioning to custom reusable supplies in 2023 means nearly all of the 2025 funding is dedicated to the contents of the bottles, with the average bottle price point in the $90s. Participants will savor 24 unique American whiskeys in 2-ounce servings from December 1st to 24th.

This year's calendar will revisit some of the previous year's favorite brands, explore distillers for the first time, feature distillery picks from another Louisville trip, and expose gems across the price spectrum. The menu is still being curated but we're sitting at average ABV above 106! 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!

Old friends, new acquaintances, and whiskey enthusiasts join together for a December to remember. 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!
