Costco's Kirkland Signature 20 year Single Malt scotch whisky

[MtnDew]

Just called the 4th Ave Costco in Seattle and they expect their shipment in tomorrow or the day after, hopefully I'll finally get to try this!

I'll be curious to try this. With the possible exception of the Kirkland Bourbon, most of the Kirkland liquors have tended to be rather bland and inoffensive-- which translates to not bad, but not interesting, either. At that price point I wonder if it might be Tomintoul. The official 16 is quite reasonably priced but also pretty boring. Just thinking out loud, no inside information here.

As I said above, not a big scotch guy, but I cracked this open tonight, and it's actually pretty good. I have essentially no frame of reference for scotch, but I find this smooth, slightly sweet, overall nice flavor, and lacking the peat and smoke which would not really appeal to me anyway. All in all, a nice whiskey, and a nice alternative to my more regular Bourbon and Irish. I'll pick up another one to have around.

Costco in MN also has a 15 year-old that was distilled at Macallan for $49.99. If you are looking for something with a known source.

The Seattle Costco now has it in stock but after our liquor taxes it's $72 so I passed. I'm kinda kicking myself but I have a lot of good stuff on hand and for $70 I could pick up another bottle of the Balvenie 15 year SB or the 14 year Carib cask, both of which I really enjoy.
