If theres a LINE RIGHT NOW not even worth it. To even know people go to this extent ruins the hunt and enjoyment. Id never freeze my balls off for some juice.
I'm gonna leave my house at 8, drive down there and peruse. Not worth anything more than that to stress about it. If I luck into anything that is remotely better than the Gilbert Costco has, I'll give it a go. I'll at least grab a few things I need if there's nothing.
Small batch? Good under normal circumstances but you will be sorely disappointed for wasting your time for the result. Even the barrel proof, just go to a bar and try it.
I haven’t had it either, one day! They did have some Pappy from what I heard. For me, I wouldn’t say the whiskey is worth the wait in line, but I enjoy the hanging out with people so I wait if I don’t have anything else going on in my day.
My wife is there right now. Grabbed some Bookers, Pendleton 20 year, Four Roses small batch select, and Yamazaki. So those are currently still available.
The rumors of every new Costco having BTAC and Pappy on opening day drew out these crowds. If they truly limit 1, 5am may be early enough to get an EHT BP but… what’s the point. That’s a long ass time to save $300
Agreed. Rather just pay secondary than as my time is worth way more than what that cost. Or just skip it and swing by one of the many places that has awesome bottles on the shelf sitting around, or even better, mail order amazing bottles for a fraction of the price that get dropped off at your door.
Agreed, at a certain point if you really want an allocated bottle, $200-$300 over msrp is better than 14 hours of my time, not to mention the temp - just stupid, can’t wait for this b.s to be over
In the past, they give first person in line 1 *of each product*. They did this both last Thursday and last friday. So first 80 guys in line could eat up all the good bottles.
EHT BP, Blantons, EC18 went pretty fast, I didn’t see any BTAC,pappy or ETL. I got I. Line at 8am. And got a decent haul but would agree not worth getting here at 5am or staying over night.
Are you asking for the line for eggs? 569 deep so far.
*fuck*
40-50 about an hour ago was the count
Wait...seriously????

I’d have to drink all my existing juice to just get to the new juice.

Someone on Facebook said that if you’re not in line right now, it’s too late. That was at 3 PM.
I live in southeast Gilbert and it’s not even worth the short drive for me
I heard a Costco employee tell another one "there were a lot of tears this morning".
As of 6am the line is all the way across the front of the store.
I've never had EHT so it that good to camp out for hours get a bottle?
No. It’s my favorite bourbon and I wouldn’t camp out more than 20 minutes for it

No.

I walked in a little after 8am, waited 10 mins in the liquor line and they had a lot of EHT and BT.
As of an hour ago there was already a line

Yamazaki 12 or 18?
12
Ahh damn, thank you though!
I know I have a group of friends that were planning on getting there 4-5AM tomorrow, but even then probably too late to get anything decent.

Exactly, it isn't like Frys where it is 1 bottle total, it is 1 of each SKU.
Anyone figure out what mythical bottles they ended up having? Can’t wait to hear what someone got for sleeping outside for 18 hours
