I have connections at the parent company for The Glenlivet, Absolut, Kahlua, and others. I'll see if I can find out from them if there's any truth to the rumors. It's possible AA just decided to stop carrying them due to cost reasons and perhaps to keep some of their offerings limited to domestic products.
Based on my understanding, there are very few bottling lines in the US (and perhaps the world) that can run 50ml sizes whether they're PET or glass. There's a decent sized market for these portions, so I'd be surprised to see any of these brands cease production. More to come

No Jim Beam
I was told for FC attendant on a my flight DFW-DAY that Jim Beam has been discontinued. She said JD, Canadian and lowest end Dewars are all that is left. No mention if was just domestic or if includes international.

I wish AA would offer Woodford. DL does.

I thought they discontinued Jack Daniels a while ago. I've been asking for it and the FAs have always told me they don't carry them anymore.

According to the menu in Y this month, they are offering Jack Daniels again.https://www.aa.com/i18n/travelInform...dBeverages.jsp

Bummer. I'd prefer a bourbon.

Wish they'd get some Jameson or Tullamore Dew on there.

Had JD on a flight out of DFW one week ago, and several other flights this year. Never have been told that it was unavailable.

Eastbound I ordered bourbon only to be told that none was available. Asked instead for whatever whisk(e)y they did have and got two minis of Canadian Club. No bourbon. No Jack. Presumably no Scotch though I didn't specifically ask for it though an astute FA should know that Scotch is a sub-category of whisk(e)y. I wanted a whiskey on the rocks and Dewars is only suitable for mixing, in my opinion.
Westbound, on the other hand, when I asked what type of whiskey/bourbon was available I was told Jim Beam and Jack Daniels. Had a Jim Beam on the rocks and was reasonably satisfied. Woodford it ain't but among mid-range mass-market bourbons I will take Jim Beam over WN's favorite Wild Turkey.
I almost never drink Canadian blended whiskeys. Maybe in the occasional Manhattan or other cocktail. Or when it is all that AA stocks on the liquor cart. Is Crown Royal any different than the Canadian Club that is now showing up on some AA flights?

Two early August dinner flights between DFW and the East Coast confirm that the only consistency with AA booze provisioning is inconsistency.
