Costco - 19yr. Single Malt - Kirkland

[Thurm15]

Man I wish we had a Costco around here. They have yet to open a store in Upstate NY. We're stuck with Sam's Club or BJ's.

Very interesting. After the holidays I may get one of you fine folks to get me a bottle. My Costco can not sell it because we are state controled (ABC stores).

I just got two "single malt" glasses in today. If anyone is interested in the glasses I can give you the info. I might could even do a group buy on them. They are 2 for $30.00 shipped. RJT

What size bottle is it? RJT

I saw that bottle but didn't pull the trigger. Now that I know

I have been buying most of my liquor and beer at Costco. They have the best prices around (even better then Sams Club)

Help!!!! Stop pushing me down da slippery slope to the Macallan 19 Year at Costco!!!!!!! The magnet is drawing me closer to Waltham. Question: what is a good cigar w/the 19 year old Macallan??

Trader Joe's (located in CA, AZ, WA, NY, maybe some others) has 18 year old Macallan under their TJ label for $42. I A/B 'ed it with Johnnie Walker Blue, and it's a much better dram. I'm going back for more while it's still in stock. TJ also has a 19 year old Bowmore for $39, 10 year old Macallan for $32, and some others under the TJ label, plus Glenfiddich, Grant's, Chivas, J&B, Balvenie, Laphroig, etc. $21 for Knob Creek for bourbon drinkers. Generally better prices than Costco, but more limited selection.

Costco over here has it too. Uh oh.

The Trader Joes that do carry liquor have some great prices. I didn't realize that had such high end stuff being put under their own label - excellent.

Off point, but their beer and wine selection is outstanding as well. Sadly, I left Boston about 1.5 years ago and would be all over Costco and TJ's. They have neither down here - I hated to end my Costco membership. I love that store. Has been said before, but some have a pretty good stogie selection. Specifically back in my hometown Alex., VA at the Pentagon City Costco.

Cheers,

A new Trader Joes is going up in January about 1/4 mile from my house. Uh oh.

I don't think the TJ's around Boston sell hard liqour? I know they sell wine and have an alright price point at that. Any Massholes know if they sell hard liquor a TJ's?

[Boston_Dude05]

Well, curious Masshole here. I checked in w/the TJ's here and they said they don't sell the hard stuff in Mass, but they do it on the West Coast.

I picked up a bottle today and tried tonight, great stuff . I will be buying another bottle or 3,4 ?

I was wanting to know if this was one of those LARGE "quanity" bottles that Costco is famous for? Or is this a standard 750ML? Thanks, RJT

[mu mike]

All we have are Sam's around here.

Group buy anyone? :-) I wonder how much shipping would be?

750ml
