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.
LOL - good luck getting any US-based airline to stock those.

On the other hand, I would appreciate Pitu cachaca, plenty of limes and a bit of sugar.
