Bourbon Removed from Delta Sky Clubs
Has anyone but me noticed that there is no bourbon available at Delta Sky Clubs now with the exception of CVG. The only American liquor available is Jack Daniels (by the way - it's not bourbon) I would think after the membership prices went up after the NWA merger, a very basic bar liquor would be available.

Should be bourbon in SCs, no question.
It will be interesting to see what happens with free booze after the UA/CO merger. United lounges do not comp alcohol, a policy President's Clubs would likely adopt if they're re-branded.
I don't envision DL keeping free drinks in that scenario. The marketing advantage is marginal, IMO.

Woodford has been absent from the SCs for a number of months, and a FA on the BNA - ATL flight told me DL was only stocking two minis per flight. I am not sure if she meant ATL - BNA - ATL or all flights. 
I do know that this is one of the questions to be asked at the ATL DO next month.
