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

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

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 ) I figured I'd correct this as well.

Cheers.

Touch. 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'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.
