I hope that’s not the case for Harmony when I get on in a couple of weeks. That was just the pub menu. While I didn't see it in any of the bars, I wasn't really looking too hard.

I see that a liquor store near me might have the Antique 107 but is selling it for $149. Might have to splurge. honestly, I wouldn't. there are so many amazing bottles out there for 50 bucks or less. Better off buying 3 great bottles at $50 then that antique at 149 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our "go to" on Oasis was the Champagne Bar but that will be disappearing in the next upgrade and has already been replaced in Allure and Harmony.

I'm not a big fan of the gimmick that is the Bionic bar. I would like to see more of the Tiki Bar like on Mariner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you prefer a smoother sweeter bourbon sure. But WT101 is certainly a neat drinker. All palettes are different. As long as we're drinking bourbon it's all good. 🥃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfhunt Posted October 20, 2019 #159 Share Posted October 20, 2019 If anyone has been or going to be on the Harmony, I would love to know what you found onboard. I’m mainly a bourbon person but do enjoy other forms of whisk(e)y too. I have the drink package and am looking forward to trying just about anything. I will be on Harmony in December, will try to make a list of what is available and at what bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofyfanatic Posted October 21, 2019 #163 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Well this is different from the Buffalo Trace tasting that I have seen onboard all of the time. This is on Anthem next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaeric Posted October 21, 2019 #164 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I've been on a few ships where they did "scotch and watch" events. One of them was about McLeleans (sp?) that they had in the shops. Nice to see they have thought to try other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachammo Posted October 21, 2019 #165 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I would like to see just one bourbon on the Diamond list. Jameson is good...but it would be nice to switch it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachammo Posted October 21, 2019 #167 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) We did a Blantons tasting in the gift shop on my most recent Vision TA. There were 4 of us that kept tasting until the bottle was empty. Good Times!! I was able to buy 2 Blantons Gold for $89 each and a couple of bottles of Weller. The manager informed us that if any gold was left after this cruise......it had to be put in the closet until they do the TA back to Europe.

Cruiser_1977 Posted October 21, 2019 #169 Share Posted October 21, 2019 @Tulsacoker Now if it had been Single Barrel or the Gentlemen, I may have just rolled with it 🙂 However, the Ol' No. 7... no thanks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get some odd looks from the staff, but they understand after you explain it. Perhaps if someone pointed out a bourbon that is the same price as Jack.

Buffalo Trace is only $5 more per bottle than Jack around here and the same price as Jameson.

I vote for BT Given the scale of RCI, I kinda doubt it's just about cost- JD is capable of supplying everyone in the world with their product. Not sure if BT is. JB is probably more likely capable. I'm quite sure some of the wines are what they are because of supply ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if BT is. JB is probably more likely capable. I'm quite sure some of the wines are what they are because of supply ability. But BT is widely available in other venues, at least on Oasis class, even Enchantment. And other BT products are available for sale in the shops. That suggests that supply may not be the issue. Rather, does RCI want to give it away in the DL or charge for it across all other venues. Everything served in the DL seems to be bottom of the line.
