Oban (scotch) at Costco for $52.99!!!!

[Mr. Irreverent]

GO NOW!!!!!! New shipments just came in... Bevmo is selling them for 59.99.

Wow... our Costco is $38, and I just checked this at the wine merchant I'm now moonlighting at, and our price is 42 bucks. And with the 10% employee discount it's about the same as Costo. That's a damn good price for the 14 yr.

Oh yeah... I'll throw in a shameless plug for the Aberlour in my sig. It's cask strength (57% alcohol), but extremely smooth nonetheless and not to mention the flavor is deep, rich and amazing. It's around 50 bucks--but you can stretch it out due to it's strength.

I've never tried Scotch. I guess I'll have to take the plunge one of these days. How would you describe it?

Bunch of friggin' drunks around here....

Sorry, I just have never found a Scotch whisky I liked. Something about the peaty smoke flavor turns me off. Not knocking your tastes (I love some things that make others puke), but I would rather have a nice Irish whisky (closed malting process...no smoke) like Powers Gold Label (not well known but usually ranked higher than Jameson). BTW, it's usually $15.99 for a fifth at BevMo with your club card.....sweeeeet!!

Hey, to each their own. Actually, Irish whiskey is pretty darn good. I'd always been a Scotch guy, but a buddy of mine bought me a bottle of Tullamore Dew last year and it was some SERIOUSLY smooth and tasty brew. It sure didn't last long. Surprisingly good--especially for that price.

I just found out my nephew got a job at BevMo. I couldn't be happier. Rumor has it.....35% discount! I'm so going to get hammered!!!!

I'll try this Oban Scotch. Why not since it will only cost me about $39.

Not all Scotch has a "burnt peaty" taste. Try Macallan 15 year Fine Oak. No peaty.
