Four distilleries stepped up to put a bottle in the box this year.
24 people. 24 bottles. 24 strangers' samples, one revealed every day through Christmas.
Every year since 2021, 24 people each buy one bottle of whiskey. Those 24 bottles get split into 24 one-ounce samples and reshuffled, so that on December 1st, everyone opens a box holding a different stranger's bottle for every day through Christmas.

Until the box gets opened on December 1, 2026
Every kickoff email closes with a cumulative scoreboard. Through the 2025 chapter, since inception:
Each of the 24 participants buys and donates one bottle of whiskey (or two, back in the founding year).
Every bottle is split into 24 one-ounce samples, then reshuffled so nobody gets their own bottle back.
From December 1st through Christmas, everyone opens one sample a day — a different stranger's bottle each time.
