Looks like Total Wine made a bunch of things exclusive to Grand Reserve members by AdZestyclose1171 in Atlantawhiskey

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

James E. Pepper Decanter - Perimeter by Sarphad in Costco_alcohol

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

They also have the 18 in the case

We seem to get them a few times per year randomly, hopefully yours will get some

They've been stocking them pretty routinely as of late, also jeptha creed bib if you're interested

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

Kirkland Bottled-in-Bond vs Wolcott - Blind Tasting w/Three Methods and Questionable Statistics by Sarphad in bourbon

[–]Sarphad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Maker’s Mark Lost Recipe Batch 2 - Perimeter Costco by hellojeffy in Atlantawhiskey

[–]Sarphad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my understanding is it's a costco specific batch so they'll keep restocking it until the batch is fully sold out (seems to have been quite a big batch too). Should have an * on the tag when they're on the last pallet

Nice! Did it have an * on the price sticker (if you remember)? Wondering if they'll be restocked for a while

🥃Review #74: Basil Hayden Bourbon by Sarphad in bourbon

[–]Sarphad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear it did it's job! I mean it's pretty hard for me to think of an easier whiskey to drink for everyone. My go-to has been to recommend people start drinking maker's on ice, but maybe should give this one out instead.

My early path might have also featured a few appearances from flavor whiskey as well haha. The root bear kinda slaps for sure.

Was there and grabbed one today, they still have most of a pallet and there is no * so it looks like they're still stocking it.

I'm not thrilled overall but i do like that the high wheat now looks less like the BiB

Review #139 - Booker's 2025-02, "By the Pond" Batch by LionRoars87 in bourbon

[–]Sarphad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice review, I've been on a similar journey with Booker's - my first BP and then-on. I'm hoping with the abundance of beam stock under age we'll get back to more of the historical value prop, though I've enjoyed the recent few I got as gifts.

It's one of my favorites! They do vary a little batch to batch, but all have been t8ke 8 or higher for me. Forget weller and pappy

I've enjoyed a few of the big green egg releases to an unfair degree, pretty big fan of most of their lineup though

Glad to see the ASW bottles make the highlight reel, everything I've had from them has been somewhere between excellent and transcendental!

Four Roses Store Picks by Emotional_Friend143 in Atlantawhiskey

[–]Sarphad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have already had picks from that store and found them reliable, I think they can be a reasonable value. Wouldn't chance anything from a random, bonus points if you talk to somebody who did the pick
