Best selling single malts in Norway 2025

Here’s the official list of the best selling single malts in Norway throughout 2025. These are the sales numbers as reported by our state monopoly; Vinmonopolet. The official sales list contains all types of spirits, and lists the top 400. I have included the number each of these single malts have on the total sales list. For each of the whiskies I have also linked to my review where they exist, and listed my score.

I also have to mention that only one blended malt made it to the top list, Monkey Shoulder. This product sold more than any single malt however, ending up at 17408 litres at no. 127 on the overall list (see my review, 80/100).

A goal for 2026 will be to review all the ones on this list that I am missing, as well as doing new reviews of the ones where my initial review was more than 10 years ago.
