Cruisit Posted July 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2017 My boyfriend is a huge whisky drinker. Fancy scotch and all that. So, you can get shots valued up to $50, but is there actually any good, expensive scotch to get? If so, what bars did you find this at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blainesterrr Posted July 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I haven't seen a shot more than $20 for any type of liquor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First and Ten Posted July 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2017 True scotch drinkers typically have their brands. They aren't mooches and say "give me the most expensive scotch you have". Someone who drinks JWR stays with JWR...Chivas drinkers drink Chivas. Etc Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisit Posted July 9, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Obviously if there is something worth sampling, he would like to do so. But he has his brands, JWR or JW Black don't cut it for him. He prefers Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Oben, Macallan- and preferably aged 20+ years. But assuming they obviously won't have exactly what he drinks at home, I'm looking for something comparable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobe1 Posted July 9, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Assuming there is one on your ship, try the steakhouse bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etc Sent from my iPad using Forums why are they "mooches?" if they buy the package that's their right to buy any drink they want that's covered under that package maybe they want to try something new or get something they might not be able to afford at home either way there's no need for the lame insult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reerun25 Posted July 9, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I have a co-worker that drinks Glenlivet, and he just returned from sailing on the Ecstacy, and they offered Glenlivet, so he was very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtytwo Posted July 10, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I know there is Glen Livet, Glenfiddich, and McCallan as I am a single malt person as well. I don't recall seeing anything others as I am pretty particular about brands and once I see what I want, don't shop the shelf! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny0528 Posted July 10, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 10, 2017 wondering if there's Gentlemans Jack on board the Magic!! Our fav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secrulz1970 Posted July 13, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 13, 2017 If they have a steakhouse on the ship go to the steakhouse bar. You do not have to eat to go to the bar. They will have the top of the line drinks and also try the Alchemy bar. The alchemy doesn't do shot but the drinks are the best on the ship.

Port of Tampa Posted July 13, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 13, 2017 In the casino this is the top-shelf they get for me. Hennessy Privilege VSOP has a smooth but stronger flavor with heavier wood on nose. VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) is a blend of 60 different eau de vie with the oldest being 15 years, and the youngest 4-5 years. It is aged for up to 15 years in French oak, giving it a deeper, richer color and oak notes on the nose and palate, but also lending more complexity to the spice and grape notes. Because the flavors are more balanced and mature, VSOP can stand alone neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of soda. Cheers and happy cruising!

Rare Saint Greg Posted July 13, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Obviously if there is something worth sampling, he would like to do so.

But assuming they obviously won't have exactly what he drinks at home, I'm looking for something comparable They definitely have The Glenlivet and Macallan. I think Glenfiddich as well. I don't know about the 20+ year part. I think they were more like 12. The steakhouse may have something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspectre Posted July 13, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 13, 2017 You won't find anything 20+ that I'm aware of. There was Glenlivet, Macallan, and Chivas on the Breeze from what i remember; Chivas my have been 18 year at the Steakhouse bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMOTO Posted July 13, 2017 #16 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Can anyone tell me if there is a list of what they carry on the Dream? Like is there Jim Beam or Jack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted July 13, 2017 #17 Share Posted July 13, 2017 They always have Jack, I don't drink Jim Beam so I don't know about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted July 13, 2017 #18 Share Posted July 13, 2017 First...Fireball is NOT Whiskey, it's a flavored contraption geared toward people who don't drink whiskey. If you BF is truly a whiskey person, he wouldn't touch the stuff. So, for the single malt scotches, in addition to the ones mentioned already, Carnival bars sometimes carry Macallan Select Oak (the highest single price I've seen) and Bowmore 12yr. Also Ardberg 10 yr. Bourbons and Whiskies are Marker Mark, Jack-Black, Jim Beam, Crown Royal , Canadian Club, Jameson, Dewars, and Cutty Sark. They have Hardy's XO and VSOP cognacs, Courvoiser VSOP and Remy Martin VSOP. The ship's liquor store carries Hennessy White, but I don't recall it in the bars.
