Joebucks Posted September 18, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Will be going on the Valor in a few weeks. My friends talked me into Cheers again. 2/3ish of my drinks will likely be bourbon. It seems that Woodford and Buffalo are the choices, which works for me. I was wondering if I might find anything anywhere else. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebucks Posted September 19, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I know most bars are only going to have 2 until Carnival changes their liquor purchasing agreements. I was wondering if maybe the steakhouse, casino, or some other bar might keep one that's not advertised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom.Terrific Posted September 20, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Just got back from Carnival Fantasy last week and being a scotch drinker, I wasn't paying that close attention to the bourbon selection. But I think I remember seeing Maker's Mark, Crown Royal, Jim Beam and Jack Daniel's. More and better selection at the casino bar that elsewhere on the ship.

Theosprey247 Posted September 20, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) The steakhouse bar usually has Blanton’s sorry misread the title. I’ve never been on the valor but on my other cruises the SH bar carried it Edited September 20, 2019 by Theosprey247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference between bourbon and whiskey? All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. Bourbon is a type of whiskey, much like scotch. Scotch comes from Scotland and has malted barley Bourbon is at least 51% corn Rye Whiskey is made with at least 51% rye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find it for much less than $15 a pour when I can actually find a place that has it. This may help make the Cheers package worth it for me!

havanadaydreaming Posted September 20, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Come to think of it there was another bourbon option at the Alchemy. it was a brand I didn't recognize. im a fairly big bourbon fanatic and live in the heart of bourbon country...I think it was a call brand, definitely not top shelf.

hbrote Posted September 20, 2019 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Pssst, they hide the "Pappy" in the lower bar so no one sees it. (LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhyIsTheRumGone23 Posted September 20, 2019 #11 Share Posted September 20, 2019 When we were on the Magic recently they had Woodford, Buffalo and Duke bourbon at Alchemy and Blanton's at the Steakhouse. They also have Templeton rye at Alchemy which is my bourbon alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1d1 Posted September 21, 2019 #12 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I'm on the Valor in November and appreciate this discussion. I do know that the Alchemy Bar on the Dream had Blanton's as well. Never made it to the Steakhouse Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i wish it was the 12yo) I'll usually, while on board, drink Buffalo Trace, which really is not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efuzz Posted September 23, 2019 #14 Share Posted September 23, 2019 There's a good chance you might find something different at Alchemy. Can't remember the brands they had, but they seemed to have a few things you couldn't find anywhere else on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice DH doesn't drink bourbon but I let him have a taste and even he liked it. After one sip I pushed him away and said, " MINE!!! " LOL Tried a few out of the way places last year to see if I could get lucky with another bottle. Most of them pretty much just laughed at me when I asked if he had any sitting back in the back. But that's OK, I expected it. I mean, unless you are in really good with the right someone, that's the only way you're ever gonna get it. Pure luck on my part is what did it.

Thank heavens November is almost here "Pappy Time". Shhhhh I have a 10 year Rip VW too. (oooooh, so the truth comes out ) DH spent 2 weeks making rounds all over tri state area after I got my 15 year trying to find me a 20 year for a Christmas present. He got a 10 year. Said he felt bad he couldn't get the 20 . I said are you KIDDING, most bourbon lovers go their entire life without ever even getting to try Pappy. I'm now the owner of 2 bottles of the white unicorn of bourbons LOL. November has become a combination of Turkey Day and Pappy Day for me If I'm honest, I actually like the 10 year a little better than the 15. They're both wonderful. But personally I found the 10 is a bit smoother. Though I'd love to try the 12. And the 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
