Yea. I haven’t hunted bourbon in a few years. It’s gotten so stupid. I feel your pain about the prices and store owners holding. The Bay Area is so badPretty much anything allocated is overpriced in SoCal. Msrp is almost impossible as a result. Some pricing is insane if you can actually even find a bottle. That’s a cool find with your daughters birth year.
I've had wine in that price range once that was purchased by someone else during a business dinner. My opinion on fine dining and fine alcohol is that there is an upper price that's worth it, but then after that it's just a money-waving contest. 200-300 for a nice dinner or special drink is one thing. But I just don't see spending thousands to reap the benefit. I think it's overkill. That wine I had was damn good but I would never spend the money for it myself. It was 1900ish.
I also went today, looking for something like this to reward myself for a successful High Sierra trip. Ended up with a $21 handle of Jim Beam.
Yeah, not sure honestly. The costco on the coast, less than 3 hours away, usually has different things too… I don’t get it.I also went today, looking for something like this to reward myself for a successful High Sierra trip. Ended up with a $21 handle of Jim Beam.
Wonder why my Costco didn’t have your bottle?

A buddy of mine runs distribution ops for Costco west coast. In short it’s based on allotment/contracts and what sells in what stores to be worth it. They have a shit ton of data for each store and its customers. Last years small batch I guess was an “off” year from review sites. Hopefully this years is better. That said, at $19, I used it for some great cocktail infusions.
Interesting, thanks for posting that info. That makes sense I guess, the people on the coast must mot have good taste in booze. Lol
Is there a way to find out which ones carry the small batch? I know the Costco here in Visalia doesn’t have it, but Hanford is a 20 minute drive I’d be willing to make.
I’m not sure. May try calling the store and see if they can check inventory. I’ve also heard that stores can get different stufff if customers ask. May try talking to store manager.Is there a way to find out which ones carry the small batch?

Now that looks dangerous
Make sure that crap is gone by the time I come down for that PSC install!
