🥃 The Grand Finale! Flaviar 2025 Whiskey Advent Calendar Reveal (Days 22-24)

The flight has reached its final destination! Join Wayne and Rebecca for the Grand Finale of the 2025 FlaviAIR journey. In this episode, we’re landing in Dublin, Louisville, and a surprise stop in France to wrap up the ultimate whiskey countdown.

From a “toad-ally” unique Irish whiskey to Bob Dylan’s artistic bourbon blend, and a stunning Cognac “curveball,” we’re finishing this 24-day voyage with a triumphant pour. Stick around for our final thoughts on the entire Flaviar experience!

In this video, we review: 

🍀 Day 22: Natterjack Irish Whiskey – A triple-distilled blend aged in ex-bourbon and Virgin American Oak. Does the 80% corn mash bill make it taste more like a bourbon than an Irish? 

🎸 Day 23: Heaven’s Door Revelation Double Barrel – Bob Dylan’s co-created masterpiece. We break down the 100-proof complexity of this double-barreled blend of bourbons and rye. 

🇫🇷 Day 24: Martingale Rare Reserve Cognac – The Christmas Eve surprise! A “grape-to-glass” Cognac from the Fin Bois region that even non-Cognac drinkers will love.

Which of these final three was the “banger”? Watch to find out!

✈️ Global Whiskey Flight Review! Flaviar Advent Calendar 2025 Days 4, 5, & 6 | Chicken Cock, Oaklore, Kujira Kyojin 

Welcome back, Travelers, for Episode Two of our Flaviar Whiskey Advent Calendar 2025 journey! We’re strapping in for an exciting “two-continental tasting flight,” comparing America’s bourbon heritage with an exotic leap across the globe.

In this episode, we unlock Days 4, 5, and 6 of the calendar, tasting three wildly different spirits:

  1. Day 4: Chicken Cock Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (100 Proof) – A Prohibition legacy spirit from Bardstown, KY, with notes of cinnamon red hot, caramel, and nuttiness. Is the “pre-prohibition style” a hit?
  2. Day 5: OaklLore Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey (92 Proof) – A groundbreaking blend of four grains (corn, rye, wheat, barley) aged in the ideal climate of North Carolina’s Piedmont region. Find out why this balanced bourbon is described as a “floral bakery.”
  3. Day 6: Kujira Kyojin Okinawa Whisky (80 Proof) – A truly unique rice-based Japanese whisky from Okinawa, Japan, aged in American white oak. We discover fascinating tropical, sweet & sour, and floral/roselike notes thanks to its special Indica Rice and black Koji berries fermentation.

Join Wayne and Rebecca on Your Bourbon Journey for an in-depth, country-to-country tasting review! 

Which whiskey will be the best international pour? Buckle up and Cheers! 🥃
