New whisky releases Norway - March 2020
It is that time again. On Friday March 6 another batch of whiskies will be released for sale in Norway. This time we have a total of 34 new whiskies and whiskies that change distribution. Two whiskies are well worth mentioning in that latter category, because finally we get to see Nikka From the Barrel and Amrut Fusion move from the order selection (bestillingsutvalget - BU) to actually being on the shelf in most Vinmonopolet outlets (basisutvalget). This is great news, I think, as I love both these whiskies.
Here is the list of whiskies, and as usual I have linked to reviews I have published.
** 2020-03-02 Update: Removed Tomatin Decades II and Amrut Indian Single Malt, as they have been deferred to the May release.
