on the A380 flights, there is usually a 1st class passenger who can be coaxed to demand being served some bourbon, Dom Perignon or Paradis at the bar ;-)
on a recent DXB to HK flight I enjoyed a few glasses of Paradis Imperial (USD 1000 a bottle) cognac with a friendly 1st class passenger

I always drink Jack Daniels in EK J, and even in Y, not sure where the problem is with the OP not being able to drink Bourbon.
Hopefully this hasn't changed since my last flight in July.

I raised this with some pursers recently and they all keenly filled in a report about how Jack Daniels is not bourbon and therefore the J menu should change to reflect that. Sadly the complaint didn't result in a glass of Woodford Reserve, but it will be interesting to see if anything happens. Embarrassing for a company that is usually sensitive to regional food/bev.

Woodford Reserve is in first.
I did ask how they made the cocktail with bourbon and they said with JD which is just wrong.

Some years ago, I fulfilled a lifelong dream of reviving an old family bourbon recipe by starting the Bulleit Distilling Company. Bulleit Frontier Whiskey creates award winning Bourbons, learn more about the tasting notes for Bulleit Bourbon and Bulleit Bourbon 10 Year.
These two distillers think they are bourbon whisky or bourbon whiskey. Now I'm really confused.
