Yes, we do notice this and appreciate it. I wonder to what extent this is due to the fact that the BA trunk domestics (Glasgow/Edinburgh etc) have only one class seating, where on most other comparable major business travel routes in Europe there would be a Business Class; it would be a definite downer to the substantial and high-fare regular travellers on these routes to withdraw this, and not to offer whisky at all on the main BA routes to Scotland would lead to much adverse publicity I am sure.

Air France certainly used to have a bizarre combination of spirits and mixers on their flights, and those of their commuter associates, which if you have a spare few minutes you can read about in this somewhat lengthy PPRuNe post of mine from a few years ago
