For those of you new to the journey we welcome you. For those of you returning welcome back. 2019 was a big year for WhiskyDev we hit our 5th anniversary and with that we could never be more proud. To celebrate that that we had a contest for the first few purchasers of the calendar. One lucky person got to sample some of the whiskies before we even decided where they were going into the calendar and to help contribute to the notes for some of the fine whiskies and someone also received a free copy of last year’s calendar for sampling in July. So once again congrats to Marc and John for being the lucky winners. We had so much fun with that we think we are going to do that gain next year. So pay attention in the Advent-Calendar channel in the WhiskyDev slack for tastings in the new year for more details.
But enough rambling before you you should have 3 items (1x Stemless whisky Glass, 1x Wrapped bottle for your Tree, & 1x Newly designed Box of tasty whiskys) . Here is a bit about it and what to do:
1.) The Glass — I feel that the glass is fairly self explanatory, but it holds liquid it can be used for holding all or some of the future drams. It probably should not be eaten but your mileage may vary so um… good luck!
2.) The wrapped bottle — This is your day 25. Put it under the tree so we can be that jerk who helped contribute to the presents under your tree which until tomorrow should not be up by the way. If you choose not to put it under the tree or you do not have one that is cool too. The point is put it somewhere safe and do not open it until the 25th not even a little.
3.) The big box of tasty whisky — Once again I thought that this was fairly self explanatory but apparently some people; you know who you are, feel the need to open things early and then forget the order they pulled them out in. I do warn you not all bottles are labelled but the box has this numbering thing on the outside so you can either pull out each bottle via the semi perforated slots… or you can open the side with 1-6 on it and use counting and the date to figure out what the number you should be removing is. So on Dec 1st you pull the 1 from the… that’s right 1 slot, and then on day 2 you open the special wrapped gift pull #2 from the 2 slot. Rinse and repeat till day 25 at which point return to item 2 from above.
With the jibber jab out of the way now we wait with baited breath for the clock to strike midnight and reveal our first day and with that the lively discussion once again on #advent-calender.
Regards,
WhiskyDev
