basor Posted December 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Does anyone know which Bourbons are carried on board? We would like to request one in our onboard preference but only see 1 offered. Thanks in advance for your advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEESRE Posted December 1, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2014 We found that we just sent an email to Seabourn with our preferences and they were in our stateroom on arrival. I have seen Makers Mark on the shelves of the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineac Posted December 1, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2014 My DH and I were talking about this just last night...He enjoys his bourbon straight up with a coke on the side. He has a proclivity for Knob Creek single barrel reserve but Blanton's or Eagle Rare will also do. We will email Seabourn with our preferences and hope for the best.

palladian Posted December 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Wait till your on board there are more than a few to choose from. Just ask your room steward after you look at the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums As a native Kentuckian, I must respectfully request (on threat of challenging you to a duel) that you not include Jack Daniels in a list of bourbons. Jack Daniels is sour mash whiskey and is common swill. And from Tennessee. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexcruiser Posted December 21, 2014 #9 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I offer these observations from another native Kentuckian. Bourbon does not have to be made in Kentucky although all of the best bourbons are. It does have to be made in a particular way and Jack Daniel’s does not qualify because it is filtered through charcoal not because it is a sour mash whiskey. Most bourbons use a sour mash recipe. Taste is an individual matter although most true bourbon drinkers wouldn’t be caught dead drinking Jack Daniels. :) Also, most bourbons, including Jim Beam, Wild Turkey, Knob Creek, etc., are made with rye. Maker’s Mark is made with wheat. The most sought after wheated bourbon is Pappy VanWinkle. An excellent substitute for Pappy is W.L. Weller which is made by the same distillery and which uses the same recipe as Pappy. I would be pleased to meet any bourbon aficionados in The Club on Seaboard Odyssey for the New Zealand / Australia cruise departing on February 7 where I will be partaking in my pre-dinner cocktail.

Give me pappy or give me eagle rare. None of this made in illinois stuff please. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
