Thanks to one of our fine clients, I'm finishing off the week with a little Buffalo Trace Bourbon.  :cheers:

Go big or go home.  :thumbsdown:

For lovers of fine whiskey:  at least one Costco in our area now has in stock Jack Daniels Single Barrel, Barrel Proof Rye.  This is the best whiskey I've ever tasted under $100 a bottle.  If you can find it in a liquor store, which is uncommon, it runs about $90.  Costco has it for... $57 per bottle.

There are some different bottlings, but being barrel proof (cask strength), it is in the 120-130+ proof range.  Yet so smooth.  You can read the labels for the bottling specifics.  I bought two different bottlings.

I actually learned about it from a worker at an awesome boutique liquor store/bar/restaurant near my Mayo called Trevor's

https://www.trevors.com/mayo

I asked the worker if they had it in stock, and he mentioned the Costco deal.  I looked at him for a few seconds, and he said "yeah, I bought a bottle there."

Even the Costco checkout guy was like "I bought a bottle of this when I found it, and paid, ohhh, $35 more than Costco is charging."

Check your Costco if they have it.  You won't be disappointed.  🥃🥃

I just looked this up because I heard about it:  in some states (including AZ), you do NOT need a membership to by alcohol at Costco.  

Quote

These states let you buy alcohol at Costco without a membership

You can buy alcohol at Costco without a paid membership, as long as you're in an eligible state, like California or New York. Local laws prevent membership-only clubs like Costco or Sam's Club from withholding alcohol sales to the general public. The full list of states includes:

 
  • Arizona 
  • California 
  • Colorado
  • Connecticut
  • Delaware
  • Hawaii
  • Indiana
  • Kentucky
  • Massachusetts
  • Michigan
  • Minnesota
  • New York
  • Texas
  • Vermont

Apparently you can buy prescriptions and eye exams (but not glasses) without a membership in every state.

$39.99 down the street at total wine.  Which means with state taxes added on will be about $60

I'd be shocked if that's the same whiskey.  It's probably single barrel, but not barrel proof.

I buy stuff from TotalWine all the time, love them. Their app for pre-buying is the best, if you know what you want in advance.  :cheers:

I just looked; $65 at my TotalWine.  Perhaps JD released a bunch recently.

Regardless, it's good stuff.  :cheers:
