Many of these gin calendars get released in late October, but make sure you get your orders in quick – once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Drink by the Dram gin advent calendar
This edition of this grand-daddy of gin advent calendars is an absolute cracker. It comes with 24 gins in wax-sealed glass bottles (each of 30ml). We’ll not spoil if for you by telling which ones are in it this year. (you can see a reveal here on Master of Malt if you’re rubbish at surprises though!) However, there’s always a great mix of Dry, Old Tom, Navy Strength and Sloe gins to brighten up your December days.
Gin advent calendar cracker
This is a great option gin calendar if you like a mix of classic gins in with some more unusual ones to try. It’s got the full 24 days covered with 5cl bottles. Some highlights for us are:
- Malfy Originale Gin (reviewed by us here)
- Jawbox Gin (we reviewed it here)
- Edinburgh Seaside Gin
- Wint & Lila London Dry Gin
This is a really impressive line-up (you can see the full list at Amazon here). We want one!
Gin & Tonic advent calendar
This one is a neat idea – you get 24 different tonics; one to try every day with the bottle of Lakes Gin that’s also supplied. There’s a great range of your favourite tonics, including Fentimans, Double Dutch, Ledger’s, Franklin & Sons and bottle green. Click the image below to buy from 31 Dover (it’s below £100 at time of writing).
Tipsy Tree gin advent calendar
Perhaps winning the prize for the prettiest gin advent calendar as you can see below, this tree has 24 bottles of your favourite gins. 23 of the bottles are 5cl, one is 4cl. Again, many of the best gins are included, such as:
- Daffy’s Gin

- Ophir Oriental Spiced London Dry Gin
- Masons Gin
…and 20 others is our maths is correct. You can see the full line-up at Amazon here.
