I am confused....
Does UA give free drinks in Y international (flights to NRT and BKK) or am I going to be handing over the plastic?

Free Drinks!

Finlandia > Absolut > Skyy in this vodka drinker's opinion.

I guess my lobbying for TRUMP vodka went unnoticed. It IS the the best "Ultra Premium Vodka on the Market" - according to trump at least.

Fly BA -they have it in the lounge and on-board.

Mmmmm, Blue.

You are both entitled to your opinions, but I prefer Finlandia, and then Skyy slightly over Absolut. Finlandia is much better IMO, and while I didn't realize UA had that, I retroactively wish that had been carried over

I would definitely like to see an improvement on the scotch offerings, particularly some Johnnys, though not Red. While Blue is great, more realistically, it'd be nice to see Black/Green for domestic/international. Also would like Glens. I see that they have Glenlivet, but is it always available?

Also nice that they no longer charge for anything in F. I noticed that also in the August Hemispheres, where I saw they no longer advertise Stirrings. I did notice Margarita, but not Mai Tai.

Finally, from a purely selfish perspective, they carry Kosher wine on the TLV route, but only red, and would like to see white. Just flew on Monday night, and more than half the BF cabin had KSML, so having more wine options seems to make sense. Now I understand them not having it on other routes, but perhaps carry 1 or 2 bottles if a KSML has been ordered. Likeliness of that happening? Not too likely. But would still be nice

As for the bourbon debate I agree with Maker's Mark. But I just came back from Bourbon Trail, and Evan Williams smoked them all, while Woodford
Reserve offered the absolute worst tasting and tour experience of all of them.

I'm a bourbon drinker for the most part. I'd prefer the ones that start with a B. Booker's, Baker's, Blanton's, Basil Hayden's. For the mid-level choices, I'd chose Maker's, Knob, or even Wild Turkey. After that, anything's a toss up with my good buddy Jack.

Can you even get this stuff? I'm having a hard time picturing the Donald making miniatures of anything.

Maybe the little bottle could have a cheesy blond label wrapped around the neck once and then over the cap.

You said it! Blue mixes really well with diet sprite.

Not as good as a 2008 Montrachet! But I prefer reds so go for a 1994 Ch. Margaux and Pepsi...

But seriously a peaty single malt and barrel batch bourbon would sure be welcome on international C and F.

Not at all. I love Grey Goose. I don't care for Ketel One at all. Stoli is good, so is Finlandia. I don't hate Absolut, but I prefer the Goose.

I'll have to try the Margaux-Pepsi blend some time (on somebody else's dime for sure).

Seriously, why can't they provide a decent single barrel in at least TATL/TPAC F. It's not like handing out bars of gold.

+1 for the goose. I think I really liked Vox as well, but it's been a looooong time.

Can't CO flex its Texas roots and get us Tito's vodka?

Their profit is actually a bit higher than your estimate.

+a bunch for this one. Exactly what I was thinking, but better phrased.

I happen to like regular Bombay myself; so Bombay Sapphire is fine with me for Gin. Mostly I am a beer drinker, and cold Heineken will get the job done. It would be nice if it is cold, where I think I am running 50/50 on beer on the airplane being cold this year...
