Clearly I have huge interest in the Rum Advent Calendar and if the last few years are anything to go by, there can be a few real stunners in amongst the ones that I will have inevitably tried in the past. The new Douglas Laing Calendar looks interesting too as I’m rather fond of independent bottlings! I’m not wanting to wish the next few months away, but roll on December!
