Special Whisky Release Norway - November 2018
Special Whisky Release Norway - November 2018
Woohoo! Whisky Christmas comes early again this year! Last year we had a special whisky release with lots of special treats in December. This year the special release arrives on Thursday November 15. Below is a list of all the whiskies that will be made available to buy. This is a special release for the eight special outlets (“spesialpol”) only. These special outlets are located at: Aker Brygge and CC-Vest (Oslo), Hamar, Sandnes sentrum, Sandefjord, Valentinlyst (Trondheim), Valkendorfsgaten (Bergen), and Langnes (Tromsø).
Here are the "technical details":
The whiskies have been (relatively) evenly distributed between the seven outlets.
A handful of these whiskies will not be available at all these outlets because there are too few bottles available.
Some will be available in as low numbers as 1 or 2 bottles per outlet
Vinmonopolet will attempt to introduce a cap of max 1 bottle per customer for some of the whiskies
About one third of the products will also be available to order online at release
They must be ordered with postal delivery or delivery to one of the special outlets
These products are tagged with +web in the list below
The web sale starts on Friday November 16 at 0800!
The sale starts at 10:00 on Thursday November 15
If you really want these whiskies you have to be at one of the outlets on the Thursday.
I will be adding new reviews daily up until Nov 15. Check back for updates!
**UPDATE: Please note that the three Arran whiskies will be delayed until week 49 ** **UPDATE: Added Excel file (bottom of page) with number of bottles per outlet ** **UPDATE: Five 3 whiskies dropped from the list, including two from Glenfarclas** **UPDATE: The 2 Glenfarclas are back on the list. Will arrive at the outlets asap.**
