What Bourbons & Scotches are served on board?

My DW and I are bourbon and scotch drinkers.  I was wondering if the offerings of Bourbon and Scotch varied in the several bars on board Princess ships.

 

Can someone tell me what Bourbon & Scotch are served in which bars on board?

 

Does anyone have a pic of a Scotch & Bourbon menu from a recent Princess cruise that they can share?  If you have one from the Crown Princess, which we will be on in a couple of weeks, that would be particularly helpful.

 

Your feedback is appreciated.  Thanks.

We recently returned from a cruise on the Caribbean Princess, I tend to enjoy bourbon as well.  The best option they offer in my opinion is Woodford.  No Michter's, Elijah Craig, Angels Envy, Weller, EH Taylor, Eagle Rare, Blanton's, etc. , yet alone Pappy, Stagg or the like.  Nothing remotely close. Still, I find Woodford to be suitable for a regular sip.

At those prices NONE are worth drinking!!!   I love my single malts but can buy a bottle for the cost of 6-7 drinks on board!!!

Really? Of course you can buy it on land for less. That’s true everywhere. Just drink at home then.

The prices onboard are in our opinion, reasonable "going out" prices.  Comparable to a restaurant at home.   As we are on a cruise, we consider it as if we are out every night. 
We get the PBP because a few drinks a day gets you break even and the rest is bonus. 
 

From what I've read online, RCI prices are higher!

Not sure how up to date this is but it's taken from the beverage package calculator spreadsheet. For Scotch I tend to drink Talisker 10 year old when sailing Princess.  (I notice that it isn't even shown on the menu page posted above but I was still drinking it in October on Sapphire and in November on Emerald.)

Here is an image of a menu that shows more whiskies than the one posted above:
