Just one answer, yes!

I found this on an old post. It appears to be pretty current based on what I “remember” from our cruise last June. However, the recent fire at Jim Beam May affect availability.

Jim Beam fire impacted only 1% of their inventory and was young barrels, so it will not impact availability, according to the distiller (but is still a sad loss).

Thanks for the link!  Seems adequate, I like my Knob Creek, but Maker’s will have to do.  😎.   First world problem.

Note that Blanton’s Gold Edition is also a bourbon, from the Buffalo Trace distillery - maker of Pappy Van Winkle!!

Yep, like Blanton’s for sipping but not in a Manhattan.

I'm not sure where that menu is from, but it doesn't look like any of the menus I came across on Viking Jupiter last month. All the prices are in Euros. I thought all things on Viking ships were in USD. They were on our Midnight Sun cruise.

The only bar with a substantial variety of high end spirits was Torshaven, and on Jupiter its menu was on a tablet. While it did have a good selection of premiums, most were above the $15 limit to be included with the SS package.

Edit: I would have been all over those single malt Scotches. The only one we had was Bowmore 15

As a fellow Manhattan lover, you can always bring on board a bottle of your favorite bourbon and the bar tenders will use it to make your favorite drinks.

Hmmm...  big difference from the other menu. Perhaps the other included premium offerings were this one doesn’t?

Thanks for the clarification. Still a disconnect with just_dont comment above re: Maker’s Mark.

My wife took pictures of all pages of bar menus on our cruise last month. Tonight I can go through her phone and post specifics for whisk(e)ys, although I'd rather not post dozens of pics. IIRC, all drinks (other than bottles of wine) on bar menus other than Torshaven (i.e. Lobby, Pool, Explorer's Lounge, Aquavit, Theater) were under $15 (typically around $6).

But they absolutely had Maker's Mark.

I don't have the Torshaven menu, as that was an electronic menu on a tablet, but most premium pours there were seriously premium, with prices above the $15 SSBP limit.

Thanks much for the offer, but please don’t go through the effort.  Like most folks, I have preferences, but go with the flow.  Not a game changer.  Like I said previously, a first world problem!
