For those wanting to expand their whisky experience and explore a diverse range of whiskies without spending a fortune on full bottles, the advice for many years was to find a bar with a good selection and buy yourself a few drams over several sessions. Such an approach is affordable, but not always convenient, and not particularly possible if you live a long way from a well-stocked whisky bar.
A far more popular and convenient alternative has been the recent availability of whisky Advent Calendars. And one of the better offerings out this year is the “Whisky Selection Box” by The Really Good Whisky Company.
The Really Good Whisky Company is a London-based business offering a range of special whiskies, including a particularly impressive range of rare and collectible whiskies that you don’t see every day. The Really Good Whisky Company also offers several well-curated gift packs and tasting packs. Timed for December and offering 25 drams for 25 days, TRGWC’s whisky Advent Calendars are a great opportunity to try a diverse range of quality whiskies at an affordable price. Single malts, grain whiskies, blended whiskies, blended malts; young, old, sherried, peated and more, the Advent Calendars will surprise you with the diversity and quality on offer.
Two different boxes are available: “The really good one” for £125 and “The Premium One” for £209. (Prices in pounds exclude VAT; the boxes will ship to USA, Europe, Australia – in fact, any country/state that permits. Online purchases can be in GBP, EUR, AUD, and USD. The Really Good One box found its way to Whisky & Wisdom and the contents were impressive, offering a great selection of different styles, age statements (up to a 29yo!), whiskies with ABV’s ranging from 40% to 58.9% (14 of the 25 malts were non-chillfiltered and between 46-50%), and a good mix of flavours and whisky types. The details of the whiskies included are on the back of the box, giving you all the specifics you need, as can be seen….
As you can see above, “The really good one” box has an impressive, eclectic collection inside, and it’s a great way to expand your experience with different whiskies. And, depending on your country, it’s likely it will also give you the opportunity to taste a few whiskies that aren’t otherwise available in your local market. So swing by their website and grab your box in time for December.
Cheers,
