Julekalender Bourbon & Rye 2026

Mac Y’s 2026 Bourbon & Rye Advent Calendar brings together 24 different American whiskies, offering a lively introduction to the breadth of the category. The selection ranges from bourbon and rye to a single American single malt, with both approachable and more robust styles to explore.

Aroma & Palate
Expect a varied tasting journey rather than one house style: the calendar includes bourbons and ryes with different age statements, strengths and finishes. The listed bottles span soft, rounded bourbon profiles and spicier rye whiskies, alongside cask-finished expressions and a single malt. Each day’s virtual calendar entry provides information about that day’s selection.

Distillation & Maturation
The 24 selections represent a range of American whiskey styles and producers. The lineup includes straight bourbon and rye, aged and barrel-strength bottlings, and expressions with finishes such as port, Cabernet Sauvignon, sherry oloroso and rum. Production methods and maturation details vary by bottle.

Serving Suggestions
Taste each pour neat at room temperature to explore its character, adding a few drops of water if a higher-proof whiskey benefits from opening up. For a more substantial serve, try a bourbon in an Old Fashioned or a rye in a Manhattan. Dark chocolate, aged cheese or roasted nuts make good companions for an informal tasting.

Distillery
The calendar is presented by Mac Y, whose selection brings together 24 products from a range of American whiskey labels, including Blanton’s, Ezra Brooks, Penelope, Rebel, Rossville Union and Yellowstone. It is designed as a guided discovery, with descriptions and information available through the calendar’s virtual daily entries.
