Special whisky release Norway - November 2019
Oh, boy! It is again time for that perfect storm of whisky releases just in time to bankrupt us before Christmas sets in.
This year the special release arrives on Thursday November 7. 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.
Some whiskies will not be available at all outlets due to low number of bottles
Some will be available in as low numbers as 1 or 2 bottles per outlet
Vinmonopolet will add a cap of max 1 bottle per customer for some of the whiskies
About half 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
The web sale starts on Friday November 8 at 0800!
The sale starts at 10:00 on Thursday November 7
I will be adding new reviews daily up until Nov 8. Check back for updates!
