Fuzz Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 yes, Costco subcontracts some of the major liquor brands to make thier hooch. Kirkland vodka is grey goose and the Kirkland small batch bourbon is made by jim bean Hmm. Might pop into Costco then and pick up a few bottles. Thanks!
maverickdrinker Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Not sure if this is the case in Aus bro. the only Costco you can buy Liquor in Canada is in Calgary and Edmonton
rckymtn22 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 DAMMIT!!! Why can't Costco sell liquor in this darn country... They do out here in Calgary. The liquor store has to be separate from the main store.
hdryder Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 DAMMIT!!! Why can't Costco sell liquor in this darn country... They do in Alberta

Fuzz Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 You can buy booze in Costco here in Sydney. It's in a fenced off area, within the store.
Lotusguy Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 they just released the Kirkland 15 made by Macallan over the holidays. Great - I was running low on the stock I picked up from last year's release. That one is really enjoyable!
hdryder Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Lucky! Do they have the Kirkland Mac? I am not sure. Next time I am in Alberta I will be checking
winelover Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 You can buy booze in Costco here in Sydney. It's in a fenced off area, within the store. They fence off booze? Lest the hoardes of the criminal classes descend?? Only cigs fenced off in my local costco. Also no kirkland scotch either.
Fuzz Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 They fence off booze? Lest the hoardes of the criminal classes descend?? Only cigs fenced off in my local costco. Also no kirkland scotch either. NSW laws do not allow for booze to be sold in supermarkets. By fencing it off (and paying for the booze before leaving that section) that area is not considered part of the store.
orangedog Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 which hotel is that? ice bucket reminds me of one of the Vegas hotels.
Lant63 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Hi everyone, this my first post, I am in the U.S. and love cigars. I just picked up a bottle of glenfiddich 18 which i'll have with an opus x tonight. It's nice to be a member on here now!!!
maverickdrinker Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 which hotel is that? ice bucket reminds me of one of the Vegas hotels. was in the Bahamas for a few days.
Strada Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 My younger brother often travel for work, I make sur to email him a few things to bring back. This time around:
Strada Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 You like the Talisker 10 Simon? Well it has been a while since I had some but I had good memories from it. I ll let you know when I give it a spin again
olotti Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Been getting into good affordably priced, ie $30 and under, sipping whiskey recently. So far bought some WT 100, Buffalo trace, Bulliet and was gifted a bottle of blantons. So far my fav is the Bulliet, full of flavor, smooth, little burn and just coats ur mouth. But all are good in their own right.
Tan1801 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 NSW laws do not allow for booze to be sold in supermarkets. By fencing it off (and paying for the booze before leaving that section) that area is not considered part of the store. I thought this was the case in VIC as well but about a year ago they started selling booze in supermarkets (Coles). Also the Docklands Costco did have their alcohol fenced off, but it is now open. Speaking of costco, I managed to pick up a bottle of Zacapa XO for $95. The only downside is that it didn't come with the box (I'm assuming it was their display and their no longer planning to stock it). The next cheapest I've seen it was $135 on a sale, and the regular price I see is around the $170 mark so I'm quite happy with the buy .
headstand Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 KWM BenRiach 1994, 18yr Speyside. Wow, it's like you are the keeper of the peat fire. Smooooooth sweet peatiness. Not a harsh note to be found. It will take a couple more tastings to flesh out all the other delicious flavors. Real treat. Thanks Chris (ChanceSchmerr) for the recommendation.
LGC Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Glenlivet 12 at Costco for $30... decent for "table scotch" to drink while breaking out the hip flask on the river... or while working on the car... or picking up dog poop.

Interesting!
headstand Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 A peaty Speyside? Interesting! Yup peaty in a big way. Retailer's notes don't do justice to the peat on the nose. My wife could smell the peat from a few feet away! Bottled Exclusively for KWM! My Tasting Note: "Nose: creme fraiche, white chocolate sauce, Baklava and soft berry fruits; a faint whiff of smoked malt, but nothing more? Palate: at first very sweet, creamy and fruity but then soft soft earthy peat starts rolling forward like a WWI tank; juicy and fruity the surge of peat is slow but steady with chocolate, espresso and licorice notes; the peat would be overwhelming were it not for the massive sweet oak; FInish: loads of white chocolate with soft peat oils, liquid honey and clean grassy malt!"
Lotusguy Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 KL Wines carries a few but not the 18y and they are pretty pricey
Lotusguy Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Just ordered Port Charlotte 10 (regular release) and The Botanist Gin. About to order more Laddie 10 and Talisker 10
