| HAL’s new drops

HOLLAND America Line (HAL) has unveiled a major expansion of its single-barrel whiskey program for this year.

The cruise line is rolling out a curated collection of nine unique single-barrels, sourced from top distilleries across the United States.

HAL’s whiskey program previously featured just one sole bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery.

The nine whiskeys, available in Holland America’s Ocean Bar, will feature three selections from Angel’s Envy, two from Weller, and one each from Uncle Nearest 1884 Single Barrel, Woodford Reserve, WhistlePig 15-Year Rye, and Westland American Single Malt.

The whiskeys will be available starting this northern spring, and will be fully rolled out across the fleet by May 2025.

“Get ready for an exclusive whiskey experience crafted specifically for enthusiasts the next time you sail with us,” Senior Manager Beverage & Dining Operations Innovation Drew Foulk said.

“With this collection of rare and unique spirits, we’re not only providing access to sought-after single barrel bourbons but also creating an experience that can’t easily be replicated anywhere else.”
