Spiritual Alcohol Issues

Hello, not perhaps a money saving problem but...
We are getting married and we have to choose alcohol to be served at our bar/venue. We are not big drinkers.
We have to select a gin, a rum, a vodka and a whiskey and our choices below (they are all the same price from the suppliers that we have to use - and we negotiated an OK price). We hope most will use them as mixers (but we all have that one uncle/friend...;) )
We have chosen so much for this wedding that we really don't mind so long as its palatable for the guests - but don't want to pick an awful spirit if a better one is listed...
So we were wondering whether anyone with some knowledge, or even better experience, might please, please, please help us choose.
Our Options Are
Gin: Master´s selection OR bombay saphire
Rum (more choice here it seems):
Vodka: Absolut OR Skyy
Whisky (again more choice here):
Thanks in advance & Cheers!

All very popular and well known.0 -
Could no disagree more! Those are mediocre they are ok if there is nothing else around choices.
Anything's better than Bombay Saphire.
Appleton.
Skyy. (or none codka is ick)
Black Label, JW I assume, US whisky is harsh because of there insane idea of only allowing it to mature in new barrels.
I think everyone will give a different reply here, it's very personal taste!0 -
I like masters selection, never got on well with BS (Bombay Sapphire
)

Thanks!
This has caused barrels of controversy at work too.
I'm thinking J&B for the whiskey and absolute for the vodka.
Out tasting tomorrow!0
