Soberiquet Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Booker's 2019-02. Booker's is the stuff that convinced me that Bourbon was as good as Scotch. However, this is the first bottle I have bought since before the price hike. I was really annoyed by that price change and decided I would spend my money elsewhere. Well, I have been wanting to revisit it, and when I saw it at Costco for 59.99, I capitulated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excited to try that vs the last few pours of the BP Rye I have. I know Michters has been viewed negatively for Not being very forthcoming information wise, but do not really know details. Can anyone fill me in? Other people here know the story better than I, but since you asked. My understanding is, after the Michter's distillery in PA closed, the owner did not pay to renew the copyright. These other people jumped on it: making labels that looked more or less the same before, reportedly buying bulk whiskey from B-F. At one point the original Michter's master distiller was starting to get back into the business. The new people got all lawyered up and shut it down. Also, the sourced stuff is sold at a big mark up.

Whitewhale Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Not everyday you run into these at Costco. Had my brother pick up 2 EHT SmB ($35.99 per), 3 ERs ($28.99 per) and 2 Blantons ($53.99 per). He picked up a bunch as well.

They're building a new Costco about 5 minutes from my house, the first in our area, and I hope they have deals like this when they open. Nice buys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice buys! Never ever seen BT lines at Costco in Florida........ Strict allocations to ABC Wine and occasionally to Total Wine and that's it (1 bottle per customer).

Postal Grunt Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 So I was on my way out of the LS after Mrs PG found her Sea Dog Blueberry ale and some Strawberry ale by Abita. Just by accident I took another turn down the aisle where the bourbon and rye bottles are stocked. On one side of the aisle, OGD114 stocked in depth at $20 for a 750. On the other side, Weller Special Reserve in depth at $19 for a 750 and $34 for a 1.75L. It was a dilemma among the lower priced bottles until I saw the 1L bottles of SR priced at $21. My New England born cheapskate streak rose up and I took the bargain bottle home. Stress avoided. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LS is the largest on the SW side of KC in Overland Park, KS. It's best described as an 800 pound gorilla store with floor space as large as some grocery stores so I suspect that they can get quantity and price offers from distributors before smaller stores have their chance. They also have a powerful A/C system which makes shopping there a logical choice during the heat wave we're currently experiencing. Yes, we do appreciate Mr Carrier's, the guy who developed A/C, efforts out here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's where I've found CEHT Single Barrel in the $40s on sale and a deal on Talisker Storm for $35is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioyada Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Picked up a couple bottles of WSR after work. Have not had any at home for awhile due to the price silliness. Found these two at not much more than I used to pay, so all is good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
