Re: Hello from Norway !
The bourbon selection in Norway is nothing to brag about! Norway is truly a bourbon wasteland!

On the Tennessee side we have Jack Daniel's, Gentleman Jack, Jack Daniel's SB. That's all folks !!!
My favorites among these are Jim Beam Black, Four Roses SB, Maker's Mark and Pure Kentucky.
Some years ago we also had Evan Williams, Rebel Yell, Knob Creek, Baker's and Basil Hayden, but they have all disappeared from the shelves.
But lucky for me, Denmark is not too far away and there they have a great selection of bourbon. So I am in Denmark once or twice a year and then I really fill up my bunker !!!Thomas

Re: Hello from Norway !
At a party once a friend from Norway, Nils Vitso brought some aquavit and passed it around, no one liked it.
Someone put a bottle of Wild Turkey in his hands and he did not want to try it but buckled under and took a swig.
He started to hand the bottle back immediatly and you could see him bracing for the worse, but then a smile came across his face and he looked at the label of the Turkey and said, "No more aquavit for me."Sent from my 1992 IBM PS/2 Desktop with the new "Mouse" accessory for quick navigation

Re: Hello from Norway !
Great story ! If more Norwegians could get the chance to try bourbon, it would be far more popular here.
