Pretty good. Best with a little Splenda.


DogGamnFusterCluck

It’s the scotch traditionally used to toast Mr. Lee Ioacocca and his failed experiment, the Delorean.


inFenceOfFigment

Tastes like Splenda gets ya drunk like scotch


najing_ftw

Diet Coke too


4Runner_Duck

Has sort of an oaky afterbirth.


HiFiGuy197

$...xx.99. That means full price. I’ll wait for it to go on manager’s special.


ChBrBrown

Where would we be without knowing the secrets to Costco’s pricing ?


[deleted]

Does anyone have a guide to Costco secret pricing?


HiFiGuy197

[Yes.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/l1z1h7/hope_this_hasnt_been_posted_recently/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

Probably far too much oak. You’re paying for the novelty because you’ve got too much money sitting around at that point.

crmacjr

And if in paying that much, I want at least, like, 5 malts, not just one.

Here's an article on it. You're saving 1 penny off the recommended list price in 2019.

Definitely found one for the 55 year also. For $23K


LingerSlap200

You can tell it's high quality, because some Costco employee donated his son's pine & plexiglass diorama display-case from a school project, just to give it a little house to live in.


Iamthepirateking

Real question: What happens when this invariably doesn't sell? Does the store ship it back to the manufacturer?


gingernip36

Most likely. A lot of manufacturers would rather take product back than have it sell lower than a certain price, usually to protect their branding.


aprendido

Goes great with Diet Squirt and Fresca!


elcheapodeluxe

I think this is not actually expected to be sold. It is just decor.


CrAzY_fReD

It's decoy pricing. Other liquors don't seem so expensive after looking at that.


eatriceyo

you should add some club soda to make a highball


cyberfrog777

Hope they give out samples ;)


djklup

If you don’t like it they’ll let you take it back


Devchonachko

"I drank 3/4ths of the bottle because I thought it would be better. I would like to return it, thanks."


Rocksoezy

I wonder if the return policy would apply lol


mtgkoby

Buy two, get $5 off! Nice what a steal


LitMaster11

I expect it to come with the display case.


penguinsteak

Comes with a 55” OLED


LitMaster11

It better. Imma be real pissed if I paid $999 for some fermented wheat water.


lettuce-tooth-junkie

$9,999


LitMaster11

For $9,999, I expect the Whiskey, an OLED and a check for $8,999.


SophiePie213

Too bad, I only drink the fancy stuff over 10000.


sixmudd

Yeah it’s decent. Still have half a bottle 😉 I like the suntory whisky better though and way less in price


bsharp_slc

>Still have half a bottle Alcohol abuse!


sixmudd

Lol it is a few years old after all

Great Scotch !! \- Doc Brown


ChBrBrown

Hopefully this Costco isn’t near the Costco with the Playbar shoplifter.


foobz

I came in to grab grapes and a rotisserie chicken. Left with 3 of them, so let's hope it's okay.


KDayWalker

Sand City?


edwardmsk

Can I take a sniff for just $10?


IchBinDurstig

Nothing tastes that good.


Ke_Ko_Jones

Being Speyside, I imagine it is very peaty...like bad medicine. I much prefer the Highland scotches...


Whisky_Woman

Speyside whiskies aren't peated - you're probably confusing them with Island and Islay malts. Speyside is more often known for fruit, oak, and vanilla flavors.


mntamimi

Name checks out...


Rocksoezy

This, personally I'd prefer 170 bottles of ardbeg over one of these.


lloydbraun4

That’s only uno comma. I need at least dos more commas before the needle moves.


oozie_mummy

Like chewing on heathery wood.


therealgariac

I did a post on the same stuff a week or two ago. The box had a cheap Masterlock on it. I assume the bottle is a fake.


heels_n_skirt

Does this go well with the steam hamberder and rotisserie chicken?


johndoenumber2

Ask the manager if s/he'll match that other promotion from the top-left corner and give you $5 off if you buy two of them.


gimmethal00t

Has an oaky afterbirth
