It was £48 for the longest time
( https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B002VZY62K )

The Distillers Edition was great, probably my favourite whisky ever, although I felt it was getting worse with each release for a while. £100 now.

I know, they really jacked up the price a year or two ago when they were short of stock.

I am not a big fan of judging Whisky quality by price but inevitably it will be a major consideration for BA in their lounges and on board.
(and I am always a big fan of some data! )
I realise that they will get significant bulk discounts etc.

Typical RRP at the moment:

Blends
JW red (most lounges) £24
JW black (most lounges) £27
JW Blue (CCR and on board F) £150
Copper Dog (EDI, GLA, ABZ) £35

Non-aged single malt
Talisker Surge (most lounges) £80
Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold (EDI, GLA, ABZ) £43

Aged Single Malt
Lagavulin 16 (EDI, GLA, ABZ) £68
Dalwhinnie 15 (on board F) £44
Caol Ila 15 Cask Strength (on board F and CCR) £93

We’re in First in a few weeks and I look forward to splashing a bit of Diet Coke into the JW Blue! (Don’t judge me).

That's OK. JWB is just an expensive blended thing, if you want to add bad soft drinks to it go ahead
All alcoholic drinks are essentially alcohol plus water plus flavour. Flavour is a very complex field, but most experts agree that a very large proportion of it is all in the mind. There is no-one who will enjoy a £1000 bottle of Scotch more than a £100 bottle of Scotch if they are in the wrong company or in the wrong mood, never mind using the wrong additives.

[EDIT]
In case it sounds like I am being snide and in support of the Single Malt Mafia, I'm not. The American Bar at the Savoy in London is famous for its cocktails based on expensive whiskys. I have to say I much prefer those to drinking it on its own.
I think with a little coaxing we might be able to do better than the BA offerings above without resorting to JWB and coke.

Oban 14 Year Old would be the perfect addition. Interestingly Oban has an airport (OBN) that could maybe take an E190. Distillery 10 minutes from the airport.

I would drink this again!

That's pretty much always what they have in Flagship lounges. Maybe not always the Glenfiddich 14? FFD has some true higher end scotches.

The ABZ offering earlier this week. I just don’t ‘get’ the Talisker Surge but reduced the level of the Lagavulin 16 nicely.

As of last week they no longer had Caol Ila in CCR but was still in F, they did have one which wasn’t on the menu but which Mr S spotted in the shelf, Doe & Co - an Irish whiskey, he said it was very nice.

I have that bottle! Definitely not a standard offering, and fun to have a taste of their unpeated spirit.

No more Lagavulin 16 or unpeated Caol Ila 15.
