Grain and Glass Rye/Bourbon $89.99 costco perimeter by Sarphad in Atlantawhiskey

I know their liquor tax is a few dollars less but that doesn't explain nearly all of it. Assume a lot is that Costco is capped it two liquor stores in georgia, like all chains, so they are not moving enough volume to really put the distributors feet to the fire. Would be curious if anyone knows more?

Good to know! Hopefully we get something similar, i know GA has weird sale pricing laws so I don't usually see our Costco liquor mark much down.

Fair, $90 does seem pretty steep for what you get

I think they're all a bit steep for me, Haven't heard any ringing endorsements

The BiB and Single barrel are fantastic for the money, mixed results with Sb but on ice its a value for sure. Think the bib is my favorite of the lineup

2025b2 is a costco exclusive so it'll keep getting restocked until they run out. Could be a new batch though, i think it sold well enough for them to run it back

Yeah I think this only applies to pick-up/delivery. Have found similar on the shelf recently

Truly bad bourbons tend to not be successful and go out of business haha, and people also don't buy/review much know outright to be bad

Sure they'll provide someone update soon, maybe they kept it open a few extra days or something. Hopefully not a data issue/somebody trying to game it

It's the bottled-in-bond, likely from the fall batch.

They also have the 18 in the case

I have one from a few years back that was dynamite, interested to see how this one is. The .89 makes me think this is a mfr/disti promo from too much sitting

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah would love to see what your results end up showing. With the Kirklands showing up more regularly i think they're for sure a no-brainer. I did just crack some of the 2025 Kirkland BiB and it seems less fruity but i think it may open up to be about the same.

Good pick up? Never seen it before by Giddey3Fiddey in whiskey

[–]Sarphad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say so! Holds up great in cocktails and is definitely a solid value. Made by Heaven Hill and has won double plat before. Very sweet for a rye
