The important thing here is that Kahlua has been sourced and I can have a couple of espresso martini's on Wednesday.
Sod it im considering contact you first, telling them to tell the staff to source a bottle and i'll pay for it out of my own pocket if need be.

"Regular" Jack (No. 7) is actually now surpassed, many believe, by Jim Beam on the well shelf. Even though Jack is technically Tennessee whiskey, Jim a bourbon. Jim is barreled for longer and Jack is said to have been watered down recently (it is sold at 80 proof, down from 86 I think).

Interestingly I discovered today (en route to ZRH with EasyJet from LGW South), No 1 Lounges are also no longer serving Jack Daniels. In favour of Jim Beam (poor choice).
Made me wonder whether some smart arse at Jack Daniels UK decided to ramp up the wholesale price.

The choice of drinks in GF on Sunday was a little disappointing. Ciroc and Grey Goose Vodka has gone and replaced by Ketel. Bombay Sapphire Gin has been replaced by Tanquaray. First world problems I guess.

'Tanky Ten' or just the standard stuff? imho it does make a difference. Might have to slip a bottle of the Ciroc Lemon into the CCR less Mrs Clam kicks off later today as she's a fan of that when it comes to the flavoured Ruskie Water.

True. But the charcoal filter in Tennessee takes out most of the taste, and the Mormons in Utah drop the alcohol content. Switch out that corn for rye, and we are good to go all over the US.
