Who wouldn't like the idea of getting a little gourmet gifts every day in the run-up to Christmas? We’ve rounded up some of the best food and drink Advent calendars on offer in London this year.
Drinks by the Dram Whisky Advent Calendar
If you’re after something stronger than a square of chocolate each morning, Drinks by the Dram has you covered. Behind each of the 25 doors you’ll find a different 30ml wax-sealed dram of whisky, sourced from some of the most exciting distilleries around, from Fielden and Balvenie to Laphroaig. It’s a proper grown-up countdown to Christmas and we reckon it would be perfect for whisky fans looking to discover new favourites.
