Single Malt Scotch?

[teddie]

I’ve become a singe malt scotch girl—just one every few days;  neat, thank you very much 😊.

 

We haven’t cruised for a good while and will be sailing on the Anthem. My preferences are Balvenie or Mcallan. Will I find either of those on board? And are top shelf liquor choices the same across all the RCI ships? If I use my Diamond voucher, will I just be charged the difference,  as I expect one scotch will cost more than $13? 

Thank you in advance.

Yes, most of the time (supply dependent).

Yes, diff+18%.

We were on Anthem in May and my hubby wasn't thrilled with the lack of/any decent malts although to be fair, there were still a lot of supply issues post-lockdown ... all of which created one very grumpy Scotsman !

was just on the harmony and my drink of the week was a bulleit manhattan. Was never charged over the alloted $14 per drink so i doubt a maclellan which i believe was served in most bars to be over $14

Their Scotch selection is abysmal.  I have put it on every evaluation for the past two years.  It seems they have decided that their money is in mass-market well brands, and they simply don't carry any top shelf single malts.  😞

Thank you--Glenlivet or Glenfiddich will work.  I'll have to try the Aberfeldy and from what I've read its on the more fruity side, which is good--not fond of the very peaty/smoky ones.

Was on Granduer a couple of weeks ago. Glenlivet and Glenfiddich were only choices. I also am Balvenie fan but only Highland scotches available.

You could always sneak some 50ml of your favorites in your luggage. So I've been told.
