Now Boarding: Flight FLVR 2025—Your First-Class Ticket to the World’s Finest Whiskies
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Flaviar Airlines. This is your Captain speaking, and on behalf of the entire crew I’d like to thank you for choosing the 2025 Flaviar Whiskey Advent Calendar for your December travels. Please fasten your seatbelts, stow your everyday drinks in the overhead bin, and prepare for 24 days of non-stop, first-class flavor.
A New Flight Plan a.k.a What's New This Year?
Every season we file a fresh flight plan, but this year we’re cruising at a whole new altitude. Inspired by the golden age of aviation—when lobster dinners, live piano, and tuxedo-clad stewards turned the sky itself into a cocktail lounge—we’ve retro-fitted our cabin with vintage glamour. Think chrome trim, plush seats, and a calendar that looks like a miniature Rimowa suitcase ready for the trans-Atlantic hop.
Slip your “passport”-style tasting booklet into the seat-back pocket, scan your Golden-Era ticket for one full year of Flaviar Black Membership, and prepare to take off to 24 legendary distilleries (a complete new selection) —direct from your own living-room terminal.
The Liquid Itinerary
This year’s Flaviar Airlines Whiskey Advent Calendar features a first-class lineup of 24 rare and premium spirits from around the globe—each poured into a 50 ml first-class vial (enough for two passengers to share, if you’d rather not fly solo).
Tucked behind Day 1’s hatch you’ll find our BHAKTA 1928 Golden Age Blend—a visionary fusion of bold American rye and venerable French Armagnac (yes, including spirit from the 1928 vintage itself). Crafted exclusively for Flaviar’s maiden Airlines voyage, it’s the liquid equivalent of Concorde speed with Orient Express elegance. Seat-belt signs flicker; spontaneous toasts are encouraged.
Highlights include the SirDavis American Rye Whisky Finished in Sherry Casks, Loch Lomond, Chicken Cock Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon, and Oaklore Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey from Oaklore Distilling Co.
From Japan, the lineup includes Kujira Kyojin Okinawa Whisky and Akashi Blended Japanese Whisky, while Hai Seas San Oaks Chinese Whiskey brings a unique Asian twist.
American craft is well-represented with expressions like First West Small Batch Bourbon, Frey Ranch Straight Rye, Mary Dowling Bourbon Finished in Tequila Barrels, Westward Single Malt Stout Cask Finish, Courage & Conviction Double Cask Reserve, Oregon Spirit Bottled in Bond Wheat Whiskey, New Riff Malted Rye, and Woodinville Bourbon Finished in Port Barrels.
The UK and Ireland bring their own flair with Two Stacks The First Cut Signature Blend, Eden Mill’s The Guard Bridge Blended Malt, Finvara The King's Gambit Irish Whiskey, and Natterjack Irish Whiskey.
Also featured are Kyrö Wood Smoke Rye Whisky from Finland, Lodestar Whiskey, and the highly acclaimed Heaven's Door Revelation Double Barrel Whiskey. The journey concludes with the elegant and rare Martingale Cognac, making this advent calendar a truly unforgettable global tasting experience.

The Perfect Gift (Even if You Keep It)
Whether you’re logging miles with a spouse, bonding with friends in the airport-lounge glow of twinkle lights, or gifting a whiskey wanderer who “has everything,” this calendar is a boarding call no one has heard before—and may never hear again. Forbes crowned it the “Best Spirits Advent Calendar”, while The New York Times warns: “Beware: It always sells out.” CNET simply says, “Can’t think of a better gift for a spirits lover.” When the industry’s flight controllers clear you for takeoff, you know you’re on the right runway.
Limited Seats—Book Now
History tells us the cabin fills fast. Pre-orders open now, with wheels-up shipping in September and a guaranteed touchdown before Thanksgiving (ample time to slide it under the tree or into your own cocktail cart). Reserve two units and the fare per ticket drops—ideal for gifting a co-pilot or stocking your own frequent-flavor program.
Once these calendars reach cruising altitude, they disappear from radar until next year’s model. No standby list, no hidden jump-seats—just a hard sell-out every December. So check your passport, adjust your ascot, and click “Pre-Order” before the seat-belt light dims.
Final Approach
As we begin our descent, remember: in December your living room transforms into a private jet, the legroom is infinite, and every pour is duty-free. From all of us at Flaviar Airlines, thank you for flying. We can’t wait to share a holiday journey that lands you in 24 time zones of whiskey wonder—without ever leaving the couch.
Tray tables up, glasses out—cheers to a golden-age December.
