If I remember correctly, the pre-covid scotch on board was Dewars White Label? I have no problem with a good blended whisky, but that stuff is so bland that I'm kind of ok with it being gone.

The Big D ought to rethink its whole adult beverage program and get frequent flyer input into what we like. This might require a change in how they do business (such as cutting deals with one liquor manufacturer such as Brown Forman or Diageo). As I've noted before, the beer selections on board are totally uninspiring. They should have used the beer tasting event the other night to come up with some new and exciting offerings.
The canned Old Fashioned isn't awful, though it is definitely too sweet for my liking. I would be 100% on board with a Brown-Forman deal. They've already got Woodford and Jack from B-F, and GlenDronach would be an excellent scotch (it's much better than The Macallan), even it was only in D1. I'm not a vodka drinker but I think people would be okay with Finlandia, and B-F has a couple of tequila brands that I'm guessing pax would enjoy. The only think still missing would be a rum, as I don't believe B-F owns any rum brands.
