Here’s my childhood advent calendar confession: instead of waiting like a good little Christian, popping open each cardboard tab day by day to find pieces of chocolate and counting down the birth of Jesus, most of the time I’d just eat everything in one go.

In the case of this Whisky Shot Advent Calendar, however, it’s probably best not to do that. Not because the tradition of Advent is about repentance and restraint or anything, but mostly because these .33 ounce bottles of whisky just ain’t your pastor’s dime store booze. According to the product page, behind one of the calendar’s 24 doors hides a 50-year-old bottle of scotch, the full retail size of which normally goes for over $550.

So if you’re feeling particularly Christian this season, do yourself a favor: wait. Savor. Enjoy.

Or you know, just buy a chocolate version and have at it. Whatever.
