Drinks by the Dram reveals its advent calendars for 2024
Offering a beverage behind every window, Drinks by the Dram has introduced its 2024 advent calendar collection.

Speaking to the drinks business, Drinks By The Dram head of marketing Adrian Lugg said that the advent calendars “represent great value, being around 40% cheaper than if you were to buy the drams individually”.
Lugg told db: “Just as we loved chocolate advents as kids, there’s something special about having a daily treat with an adult twist. During times when people are feeling the pinch, the ‘lipstick effect’ comes into play—our calendars offer an affordable way to indulge in a little daily luxury, adding festive spirit without the cost.”
The calendars are positioned to give drinks fans ways of experimenting and discovering new spirits while also expanding their repertoire in the build-up to Christmas celebrations.

That Boutique-y Gin Company Advent Calendar is priced at £64.95 and includes gins with flavours such as Neroli, Chocolate Orange, Spit-Roasted Pineapple and Rhubarb.
Describing which calendars are selling the most, Lugg explained to db: “Our whisky advent calendars have grown immensely in popularity, with our Whisky Advent Calendar leading as the best-seller, followed closely by our Scotch Whisky and World Whisky editions. This really shows how much whisky fans enjoy exploring the category and discovering new distillers, regions, and styles each day. We’ve seen sales of our most popular whisky calendar nearly double in direct channels year on year, underscoring the continued appeal of these ‘grown-up’ advent calendars.”
