The Glenlivet 12 was reported as no longer being bottled in mini sized bottles, as discussed in this thread - that report may be in error. Whatever the reason, AA has changed their whisky/whiskey offerings.
Glenlivet appears to be back: it was observed on 3 different mainline flights the week of 20 June 2016.

Glenlivet "mini" bottles phased out (late 2013)
I was on flight 145 on December 28th, BOS-LAX. I ordered a Glenlivet for my post takeoff drink. The purser informed me that she had received a memo in the last few days that they will be suspending Glenlivet as soon as current stocks run out.
Does anyone have an additional information on this cut?

I guess it will be just like the vegetarians, instead of eating prior to flying, one will have to drink prior.

The Glenlivet I can understand. AA may have made a decision that eliminating it would save more in costs than it would cost in revenue. I don't understand the other issues. I thought AA owned those items, and vendors just clean them. Once AA went into bankruptcy, the vendors know that AA will pay their post-petition debt, so why not clean those items?

As Mr. Bill would say "Oh, Noooo!!!" Those two precious bottles were often the highlight of my flight.

My staff bought a bottle of it for me for the holidays. I guess I'll have to have one before I leave for the airport now.

My liver and I are not really on speaking terms anymore, but we've been together a long time so we put up with each other. He gets water in the mornings and I get the hard stuff anytime after 4PM.
Except on weekends, then I have full custody.
