The Curious Drinker Rum Advent Calendar 2026 by the numbers
How each one is countedEvery figure is computed from the record at build time and set against the median of the same season and the same kind of contents. Door price is the price on the box over its doors; the value multiple is what the contents come to at retail over that price; full size is the retailer’s own marking. Where the record cannot support a figure, the page leaves it out rather than guessing.The definitions, one by one →Each figure against the median of this season's alcohol shelf — 51 calendars. Green is the better side of the median, red the worse; the median is printed so you can disagree.

Our The Curious Drinker Rum Advent Calendar 2026 review
Our verdict
Twenty-four 5 cl rums from small distillers, from a génépi rum made in Chamonix to a Jersey black butter rum, and the doubles are generous. The list leans heavily on spiced and flavoured bottlings, so anyone hoping for aged Caribbean rum will find little of it here.
Reviewed by Max Zeshut · 2026 season · How we review
What works
- All 24 rums named, with region and ABV
- 5 cl doubles, not 3 cl tasters
- Small UK and European distillers you rarely see in a supermarket box
What does not
- Mostly spiced and flavoured: few aged sipping rums
- No Caribbean producers named
