Unlike the pitiful selection in the President's Clubs, the aircraft actually stock some decent booze. For one, they have Bombay Sapphire Gin ^ ^ ^. They also have Jack, instead of Jim. However, there's no real Bourbon to speak of (a shame, really). The Margaritas are somewhat rancid, IMO.

If I were running CO, I would definitely keep the Bombay Sapphire. However, the other liquors could use a shake-up:

Bourbon: Woodford Reserve
Rum: Mount Gay Eclipse
Blended Scotch: Famous Grouse
Vodka: Tito's (dunno if they make airplane minis)

Also, they could spring for a standard tequila like Cuervo Gold and keep a bottle of Triple-Sec on hand. Those are all fairly standard or semi-premium booze that could probably be acquired rather easily in mass quantities.
