libertybar Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hey, anyone know where Costoco is getting their boubon? Apparently it's a distillery with "two names"... OoooK. Anyone know who is supplying this bourbon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco246 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Not sure what you mean. The COSTCO here on the Big Island has only Maker's Mark and Jim Beam white. They're both owned by Beam Global which is owned by Fortune Brands. The store here also carries Jack Daniel's black. All are in 1.75 jugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadewood Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Costco's in store brand is Kirkland Signature. They "make" many items under this brand. I like Costco and have found this Kirkland Signature brand generally offers very good value, examples include an excellent EV Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar. In certain states, Costco directly sells liquor. I know they have done Kirkland Signature versions of Vodka and Tequila, so guessing they now have a bourbon.

RedVette Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 This thread is in the "premium" category?RandyIt's premium private label warehouse club Bourbon. The Kirkland stuff is way better than Sam's Choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whskylvr Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I haven't seen a bourbon. They have a fantastic scotch whisky they put out each year. It is a Macallan 18yr. Only difference is it is aged 15 yrs in Oak and three additional years in Sherry butts. The Macallan 18 yr is aged for 18 yrs in Sherry.The Macallan 18 yr - $150.00The Kirkland Macallan 18 yr - $59.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harshest Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 This reminds me of when my wife was at Sams Club. She came home and said I almost bought you a bottle of "Members Mark". Keep in mind that the Sams Club store brand of food and other grocery items is Members Mark. I thought wow that's interesting, then pulled out my bottle of Makers Mark and said did it look like this? Sure did she said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Does anyone know if the liquor stores in Costco and Sams club actually check for membership cards? I used to be a member of both many years ago but they moved out of my community so I let my membership lapse. My memory is that they do not check for membership cards in the liquor stores. Do they?

sailor22 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 The local Costco has a new Kirkland Small Batch 9yr Bourbon. It has tasting notes on the attractive bottle that sound a lot like 4R Small Batch. $20 a full liter would make it a bargain if the juice is any good.

Parkersback Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 So to the original question, does anyone know who supplies the bourbon to Costco?Two names and a willingness to sell stock and the obvious suspect would be Heaven Hill. It'd be neat to know for sure, though, and to know the age and basic style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nblair Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Although Heaven Hill might be a safe guess. I am pretty sure I saw a pic of the label online and it said Clermont, KY (I believe that HAS to be Beam). Has anyone seen the label in stores to confirm?

proof and age Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 It is Beam definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumpstylz Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yeah, a lot of states have laws against requiring a membership to buy booze, but I think they do not require it even in a lot of states that don't have laws against it. The best thing to do is to call and talk to a manager, because a lot of times the cashier doesn't know anything about this rule (which was the case when I went).

nblair Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Sure it's Beam juice? I'll be damned, I'm surprised I found a use for Twitter. Googled it to try and find something when this came up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'll be damned, I'm surprised I found a use for Twitter. Googled it to try and find something when this came up: According to the Kentucky Secretary of State, Clear Spring Distilling Co. is an assumed name of Buffalo Trace. https://app.sos.ky.gov/corpscans/86/0305186-09-99998-20110314-ASN-4684788-PU.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rughi Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I believe that distilling happens at Clermont and Boston, bottling is done at Frankfort and aging at all 3, but how are Beam products usually labelled?I also think Clermont is always listed and Boston never.Is Frankfort listed along with Clermont on all, most or just a few labels?
