So if chocolate's just not your thing and you feel left out every time you open a window on your advent calendar at Christmas, don't worry, as this new take on the classic chocolate Christmas countdown is certain to cheer you up.

The whiskey advent calendar is made up of 24 3cl samples of whiskey - available to purchase online the makers, Masters of Malt, have left it a surprise as to what each sample contains but each one is different.

All the whiskeys in the calendar are from Scotland and one special sample contains a 50-year-old Malt from a bottle costing £350.

The one question left to ask is, what whiskey do you toast with on Christmas day?
