Don't want to get too off-topic, and it doesn't really matter, but it's just two spellings of the same term. Like "color" and "colour." They don't actually have different meanings. Just that Americans tend to spell it "whiskey" and Brits tend to spell it "whisky."

The spelling has much more of an implication than just how people spell it. In Britain, both whiskey and whisky are used, when describing a whiskey and a whisky, respectively.

Noticed it listed in the Flagship menu for my flight on the 4th but not until the end of the flight as I was clearing it away. Mini bottle in the photo looks different than the ones served on DL. As for The Glenlivet, as I posted on one of the other threads, BA has continued to provision their business class with it, though there have been two bottling so, one aged and the other not specified, one with a maroon cap the other a black one.

Was a happy Reserve camper this weekend. Since these were pmUS flights (SFO-CLT-LGA), we were offered PDB on every flight. Even the one where they boarded us, got word of a 1 hour ground hold (CLT-SFO) and deplaned us for a bit. Got 1 as a PDB. Ordered another in-flight and got 1 in the glass, and an "extra" with a wink. Did this on 3 of 4 legs.
Cheers.
