Thanks vitb. [y]

Brill on the Bacardi, not sure on the Remy though. Follow that up with a proper bottle of JD as opposed to the miniatures, and i'll be very happy

Thanks,
Sarah

All looks good to me except the Remy replacement which I am not familiar with (yet ). The product "A fine Champagne Cognac" looks good and reads well and it has a nice fancy bottle... Link.

Echo Sarah on the JD!

You prob wont see the Whickey though as it wont fit on the shelf so will live in a cart.

What about the Gin ??

[RichardMannion]

Maybe this change means we will get lumbered with GNF on more routes

[Decker]

Grey Goose... yummm

The gin is not changing. Its Bombay Saphire and Tanquery. Prob spelt that wrong

Woo cares about the spelling - they taste wonderful ! Thank you very much or the info,

Ian

If those bean-counters remove Tanquary 10 gin from the onboard bar the amount of toys thrown from my pram will resemble Hurricane Dean flatenning Toys'R'Us. Any attempt to carry out such a 'crime' will make the letter I sent to Steve Ridgway regarding the J2000 seat on my flight to NBO seem like an invite to a garden party!!

You have been warned

Mark.

One of the reasons for me to go back to the States regulary. I love the fact you can buy a 1.75 ltr bottle of Jacky at a decent price.
Have you tried one of the blends they do, a blend of Jacky and Southern Comfort? or the matured vintages?. Fantastic!

...I'm sure they're quaking, Mark.

Gentleman Jack, mmmm, one of my fav's [hic]

[Scrooge]

Good man Bazz, though I have taken a liking to single barrel, having gentleman Jack on board would be good...

Know where HF is coming from though...when asking for 10 of the little bottles I do get odd looks, trying to explain that Jack is best served in pint glasses seems to confuse some people.

I am right there with you Highflyer.

You would have thought by now that loading a bottle (or two[}:)]) would make sense on all bar the Las Vegas route[:w]

Gosh B' Willakers YEA! When I was in school I would buy green label Jack. Nasty! [xx(] [:$] But then I got with the program and bought Gentleman Jack. GJ do not give you the nasty hang over that Green label and normal tend to. Jack is very useful in taking the edge off life.

Maybe a VF tour to Lynchburg? Mama BoBos is a great place to eat there plus the summer BBQ cookoff rocks.

Otard is pretty good, just not as well known. I used to sell it years ago when I worked for Bass.

Golly GrinningJackanapes; would never know.

Glad the Gin is staying, also the brandy is very nice, I paid £18 for a shot of that in a night club.

Sorry to say I will have to shock you though.

I am going to put coke in the brandy, brandy n coke is my signiture first holiday flight drink, not my fault theres only the good stuff.

Tanqueray No.10; tonic (full fat variety); generous quantity of ice; wedge of lime - NOT lemon - juice squeezed into glass followed by the wedge itself; serve whilst ascending to 35K feet; pop QC2s on; browse V-Port offerings; and relax...

Be warned, VS, should I be deprived of any one part of this ceremony (for ceremony is what it is, dear reader) there will be hell to pay...

mdvipond - I am with you 110% of the way ! Exactly what I will be doing tomorrow afternoon (well nearly - BA Club offering instead ....)
