Just so you know, Glenlivet is on every AA mainline domestic flight.

Let's see- Johnny Blue or Glenlivet 12...

Cheers.

So if I understand you correctly, you would have chosen the Chivas instead?

And my comment on Chivas NOT being Scotch was tongue in cheek....my opinion only.

And since I haven't been to Scotland., I will continue to order "Scotch". Yes I do know the difference between Single Malt and the rest.

Sorry I touched a nerve.

No nerves. With the levels of inaccuracy here on FT, I figured that this was another one. Since I know something about this (and did get a very stern and correction for ordering "Scotch" in Scotland :D) I figured I'd correct this as well.

Cheers.

Touché. Sour mash whiskey then.

Although, I have just checked wikipedia and can't see which of the legal requirements for the appellation "bourbon " aren't met. Apparently being produced in Kentucky is no longer one...

Not a problem.
To be honest, I was just shocked that the FA poured a quadruple+(sp)?.....Did she see something in my eyes? lol ;)

Too much corn. And filtered. W L Weller is better anyway. But everyone seems to expect JD.

When they FA returned, my glass was nearly filled to the TOP of my glass.
I honestly don't think the FA knew what she was pouring....

Needless to say, there is a small place in hell, for those that waste good scotch.

....and trusting that you finished the glass, you avoided hell for both of you correct?

I think spiff must have been on the OPs flight.

I've been to Scotland and didn't notice this. Granted, I would order by brand/year. What should one order instead of "scotch"?

I was in a B&B in Aberdeen, and asked what kind of Scotch they had. The waitress fixed me with a steely gaze and, in an almost dangerous tone, asked "You mean whisky don't 'cha, laddie?"

Apparently, there, there is no other kind :)

Cheers.

I'm obviously on the wrong AA flights.

Which routes exactly are now serving Johnny Blue?
I'll change my business plans.

No AA flights. But the Galleries F lounge at LHR in T5 was serving it last month.

Flew DFW-LAX on a 757...we ran out of JD after one round. Raided the back and we were able to have a second round. So maybe they have cut back on the number of minis.
