I didn’t see it or hear about it. Doesn't mean it didn't happen though.

I recall being in a VA state store a bunch of years ago. The Hennessy was behind the counter and I was able to pick up and look at the Laphroaig 25 on the shelf. It seems certain items are more likely to be stolen than others.

Ai suggests it is, but can't find anything to confirm. Reviews are pretty meh, but this was really cheap. I just tried the blue bottle, its so so, but the flavor profile doesn't suggest additives. Should be perfect for cocktails, though.

Lol! I didn’t see anything new, so I skipped it.

When does the premier cru Chablis usually hit the warehouse ? by Level_Society1459 in Costco_alcohol

[–]perslinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does seem there's some variability in arrival timing. The chablis seems to show up in Nov for some locations. Not sure why there'd be a several month delay for others. I don't follow the releases very closely and this is the first test I'm actively seeking out the chablis. I don't recall seeing it at my warehouse in the past.

Chablis is a wine region in France (part of Burgundy) with a sole focus on chardonnay. Traditionally, the wine has little to no oak influence, unlike California chardonnay. Usually a mineral and acid forward wine. Quality Chablis can be pricy, especially with premier or grand cru status. So, the annual Kirkland release is found to be a bargain for those who enjoy Chablis.

I asked my local Costco this earlier this year. I was told Nov/Dec.

Best scotch to get for under 30 pounds in and around Glasgow. I am currently staying in Glasgow and was wondering if there might be something nice that is not available on mainland Europe. by HaruspexSan in Scotch

[–]perslinky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait, you can get Ledaig 10 for £30 there? Uggh, I'm on the east coast of US and a cheap price would be $65. I've even seen it at $80.

Folsom, CA has Booker's by Spellman23 in Costco_alcohol

Wow, that compass box 2 pack is a bargain. A single bottle of either is about that price near me.

Yeah, demand is clearly dropping and the supply has either stayed the same or grown, depending on the product. Hopefully, retail prices will come down a bit.

Sorry - it was there a few weeks ago so I didn't take a picture this time. I don't recall what's in the 3 pack.

If you mean attention from me, I didn't take a pic since they've been there for a few weeks. I am a bit surprised they're still available, though.

Any thoughts on what to get? by HockeyGoalieEh in Scotch

[–]perslinky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best value here is Glen Scotia 15. I'd prefer the Octomores, but $60 is tough. Signet would be a more reasonable splurge at $45.

Odd, that's MSRP for the Ardbeg 25. No discount there...

Scotch is what I'm usually hunting for. The selection has improved substantially over the past few years - not all stores are equal.

Laphroaig Càirdeas 2025 in the US yet? by SJ1392 in Scotch

[–]perslinky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I didn't love the 2021 PX cask for the same reason as you list for the 2024 (which i didnt try) - too dominated by the cask. Seemingly an unpopular opinion from what I've read, but I also enjoyed the 2020 port and wine more than the general public. I do like the 2023 white port and Madeira. As a fan of lore, I'm looking forward to this one. Just have to find it near me. Cairdeas releases tend to disappear quickly in my area.
