Amex is at B3, and Alaska has a smaller lounge in the C concourse near their gates, and a larger one between C & D (Map). I find Centurion far superior in food and beverage, so if you have a longer layover I would detour to that lounge personally, but then you have to hope there isn't a significant wait to get in (capacity controls). If you fly in at "N" and are departing from "N", I would not bother leaving the satellite concourse for the lounge and use the Alaska one there.

Thanks to OW I have been flying AS more than ever. Finding Woodford on board was quite nice.

I’ve enjoyed at least my weight of Woodford aboard Alaska over the years. Miss the days of Glenlivet, tho.

One of the most oddball drink orders overheard from a young man seated next to me last week: coffee with Baileys and Woodford. FA served the coffee cup half full of coffee and the two minis. Young man poured both into the coffee. I would have asked what he called the concoction, but my mouth was too full of vomit.

Sounds like a hot version of a "Duck Fart" (not sure why it's named that?). That drink is Kahlua, Bailey's and Whiskey layered in a martini glass. Not my speed either but I've made many while bartending.

I still miss my favorite Alaska Airlines cocktail: Bailey's and Crater Lake Hazelnut Espresso vodka on the rocks. I could down 3 of those on a SEA to LAX or LAS flight without blinking.

It really isn't too different than an Irish Coffee. Different, but conceptually not that far off.

I had more than my fair share of Woodford this weekend. It made for a very fun Saturday. I'm Woodforded out for a while.

Yeah, and it’s not like AS stocks Jameson or Bushmills, or whipped cream and makings for proper Irish Coffee. Bailey’s and a good bourbon is about as close as you’ll get.

Yes I agree. They could replace the Jack Daniels for Jamisons!

Well, they both have low ABVs, so the two of them together is only like one "big boy (or girl)" drink My "second dessert" was frequently the Crater Lake Vodka with fizzy water over ice, which made a lovely low alcohol soda.

Glenlivet may not be returning, but AS will be introducing Glenfarclas Single Malt Scotch Whisky among other new alcoholic beverage offerings as of March 2nd. 🙌🏼

Back in the day when I was a new frequent flier on some other airline, I used to mix Woodford with Diet Coke. I shudder just thinking about it. What a waste of Diet Coke!!!

I don't drink colas, and usually take my Woodford straight.On a recent flight my neighbor had a Ginger Ale and Woodford, so I tried it when I got home. Maybe it'll grow on me, but on first try I was decidedly "meh".

Enjoying a double "Woodford Whisper" on PDX-JFK. It admittedly tastes noticeably better in a glass
