SMALL ship cruise line Azamara Cruises is partnering with Texas whiskey producer Milam & Greene to launch an experimental journey, ‘Bourbon Quest’, where one of four bourbon barrels will sail on board the Azamara Quest on a 188-night World Cruise, visiting 37 countries.
Meanwhile, the remaining three bourbon barrels will continue aging on land in Texas, Kentucky and Florida.
Sixteen months later, the results will be revealed, when the bourbon from Quest will be compared to others aged on land in different climates, highlighting how maritime conditions influence the maturation process.
“Partnering with Milam & Greene to age a barrel at sea is a natural fit for us – it combines craftsmanship, discovery, and storytelling in a way that guests can truly follow throughout the sailing,” said Simon Blacoe, VP of hotel operations at Azamara Cruises.
The final product will be showcased during the final leg of the 2027 World Cruise during a celebratory unveiling and 400 units of the ultra-limited spirit will be available exclusively for Azamara guests.
On board, guests will also be able to enjoy whiskey tastings, culinary pairings, chef-led experiences, and more.
