I'm not going to tell you the price. But it's here

It is on Amazon. If you don't want to click the link, google Drinks by the Dram: the old and walnut rare whisky advent calendar.

WhoTF? I mean, seriously, whoTF would buy this? Did they only produce 10 boxes for the 10 richest people in the world?

I would pay £1.99 for it I hate whisky!!

buttfacedmiscreant · 03/10/2016 18:06

If she just tells us the price though how is she going to get us all to click on her Amazon affiliate link though ?

Yeah I was going to say that there was a referral link in there too. Dunno if it is the OPs but if it is that is underhand.

HemanOrSheRa · 03/10/2016 18:06

Christ A Light! And there's me wringing my hands over treating myself to the Liberty advent calendar**Shock.I'm sure someone linked to a Gin calendar on another thread at waaay more reasonable price and much more appealing. Are you paying for the box too Confused?

DO NOT LOOK AGL!!!!

VanillaSugarandChristmasSpice · 03/10/2016 18:58

Nope, it's not a referral thingy anything to do with me. It's just a cup and paste jobby I did on the Tinternet.

I thought it would be fun. But Miserynet obviously thought otherwise.

Yeah cos it's great fun clicking on a link when you dont' need to, Vanillasugar.

You should get out more!

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 03/10/2016 19:59

Blimey, Vanilla, some people are a tad arsey aren't they?

Heman It's all make up Confused

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/10/2016 19:59

cos it's great fun clicking on a link when you don't need to

Is it just me, or is there an obvious solution to this 'problem'?

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 03/10/2016 20:01

Just you, Jess. Why on earth wouldn't you agree with that statement? Wink

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/10/2016 20:01

Personally, I think AGL is being VU for mentioning a Yankee calender (waves fist).

Seems to be a distinct loss of humour on MN lately....

StStrattersOfMN · 03/10/2016 20:05

Holy shit Shock

HemanOrSheRa · 03/10/2016 20:06

No it's not AGL Grin. Actually that is one of the reasons it appeals.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/10/2016 20:10

herman. WOW at the Liberty one! I'd be happy with the presentation box, let alone the contents! there's also no way I'd manage to open one drawer a day

Hassled · 03/10/2016 20:12

But it's only £13,889 per litre. That's a bargain by anyone's standards.

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 03/10/2016 20:19

It looks like it! Grin

VanillaSugarandChristmasSpice · 03/10/2016 20:23

Jess if you think the Yankee Candle one is bad, don't let AGL near the Dyptyque one!!!

I've told DH to get me the Liberty calendar but I've forgotten how much it costs. Anyone got a link, cos, you know, it's so much fun to click on a link and I CBA to Google it

OP posts:
ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/10/2016 20:24

There's a candle in there, AGL. Did you not notice the candle?

I noticed the candle.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/10/2016 20:26

You know I can't do links, vanilla. Not because of a lack of computer literacy (ahem) but because I just can't bring myself to. Tis an awful waste of people's time to expect them to tap a finger on a screen. YABVU.

VanillaSugarandChristmasSpice · 03/10/2016 20:32

Lol Jess - YABU not to give me a link!

OP posts:
HemanOrSheRa · 03/10/2016 20:33

It's really beautiful Jess isn't it? If I remember rightly MorrisZapp (?) said we could start a family tradition with the empty box after enjoying the contents on another thread. So, you see, you need to buy it. DS is going to be THRILLED by this. DP too Grin.

Hulababy · 03/10/2016 20:34

It isn't the world's most expensive advent calendar though.

That was this one in 2010 - Diamond Calendar

This sparkling diamond advent calendar is priced at a whopping €2.5m (£.19m) and it includes exclusive jewellery designed by Biegel Schmuckdesign from Frankfurt. The calendar made its way into the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive advent calendar in the world.

I was really nervous clicking that link on my phone, in case my fat fingers accidentally the one click ordering button and I ended up with a 10k advent calendar on my doorstep by breakfast time tomorrow!

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 03/10/2016 20:42

heman. My DS too; he loves houses and he loves drawers - and I love what's inside. Win win!
