I was one of 3 (4 including our generous, but inebriated benefactor. Bartender put on white gloves to serve it. Long and short of it, he paid for the story, not the drink, which to my unsophisticated taste, could have been any number of dark liquors sitting in the well. Yeah, same here. If you ever see me pay $200 for a shot of anything, please throw me overboard. That's beyond drunk. That's a mind that has gone on permanent vacation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complawyer Posted June 12, 2023 #52 Share Posted June 12, 2023 well chief mate, my offer to buy the 1st round if we're ever on the same cruise still stands, but not for a $200 shot! LOL!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillyw Posted June 12, 2023 #53 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I did the Louie tasting when on the Encore a couple years ago in the Haven. Really good to try once, but don't think I'll pay for it again, and definitely didn't do a whole shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you take the last drink from the bottle you get to keep the bottle! That can be sent back to the Remy Martin factory and refilled at a substantial discount. When I had my drink there were about 6 pours left in the bottle. It was good, but not that good! Elvis 105 days until my next taste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Louisville, KY originally, and it was allegedly invented there at the Pendennis Club. Anyway, Maker's Mark works great in that drink. At home I sometimes use Old Forester or Basil Hayden, but MM is my go-to. I've never had a reason to upgrade to Premium + for that. Not a fan of single malts, though, so can't comment. did they have old forester & basil hayden in the basic booze package? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russiamomm Posted June 13, 2023 #57 Share Posted June 13, 2023 The smoked Old Fashioneds in the Haven bar are almost worth the cost of admission! This is on the Joy in September. He made me a different concoction every night. Heavenly. 😃❤️ IMG_0097.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2+2 Posted June 21, 2023 #65 Share Posted June 21, 2023 You are getting great advice about the Woodford Old Fashioned at Maltings. It is addicting. It is different I believe with Maple syrup instead of simple syrup. Judge it after about the fourth sip. It gets better as you drink it. They had a unique Manhattan at the Brewery also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golf4me2010 Posted June 26, 2023 Author #66 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Lots of great advice. At this rate I’ll be drinking whiskey all day. Speaking of all day, what do you whiskey drinkers drink when not holding a whiskey? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my next cruise in September, I'll be in the Haven. In the Haven Lounge they make a "smoked old fashioned". I intend to give that a try! I'll still drink my martinis, but I'm going to try new things! Elvis Definitely try them, they are the bomb! Going back on the Haven again , one of the big reason is this!

frayedend Posted June 28, 2023 #71 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) I'm a huge fan of the Old Forester 1870. But I definitely want to try the 1910 as it's been having great reviews. An Old Fashioned with Old Forester is great. A whiskey sour is also really nice. The pic in my profile is my own whiskey sour with Old Forester. I am guessing the cruise doesn't put egg white in them. Edited June 28, 2023 by frayedend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
