I’ve found the idea of the Advent calendars neat for a while, but they are pricy, often have drams I’m uninterested in or have already tried (enjoyed or otherwise), and aren’t super easy/affordable to get in the US. Around mid-October I read another user on reddit say their wife put one together for them and I decided to do that myself. I have a ton of sample bottles already paid for and waiting to be opened, plus it’s already curated to drams I want and bought already. Since I was going to be going through the trouble of randomizing the drams, I figured it would be a good exercise to do the reviews blind. I printed out some numbers, sorted a randomized list, and got some help to organize the 24 sample bottles and label them with numbers. This was done at the end of October to account for any inadvertent revelations during setup to maximize the time between so the box could sit for a while undisturbed and I could forget anything that might have been revealed. I did choose the next 24 bottles on my list for this so I have something of an idea of what’s involved, but I will not be referring to my list when reviewing, and of course for the fun of it I’ll be guessing.
