"Do you have the Glenfarclas?"
"The, uh, the what?"
"The new scotch, the Glenfarclas. Do you have that? [points to it in Hemispheres]."
"Uh, no, I do not. I do have Canadian Club or Dewar's, though."
"Hmm. I don't think I want that, thank you, but do you have Jim Beam?"
"Sure. How would you like the Jim Beam?"
"Neat is fine, thanks."
She handed me a mini of Canadian Club.

Another option: ask for the empty bottle of Glenfarclas and cap and show it to the FA/Purser on the next flight where you get a "huh?" or blank stare...

I really hate dewars neat, but in a highball it is OK.
