I bought a couple of bottles that you passed on. And, a manager of a store gave me his bottle of Stagg from home for free for a help I provided for him. It was great.
Dave V is one of the most generous people in the whiskey tube world. I just happen to look out and pick up a bottle of that Russell’s 15 yesterday when Pennsylvania dropped it and I have to say it is one of the best bottles out there this year. Cheers, David.🥃
I've found some real treasures at grocery stores in the past and I've heard some complaints about E C Full Proof but liked it enough to go back to my store and buy the last one on the shelf.
Hey Frank! I haven't found a bad Elijah Craig barrel proof batch yet! Some might be better than others but all are delicious ~ Have a wonderful Veterans day and cheers ~
I just checked Google maps and it's not too far. Maybe we can arrange a day 😆. My email is in the description of my videos or my channel page on TH-cam and let me know your store! Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Hi David Congrats on Russell's 15. This month Passed on Elijah craig 18 and Midwinter Nights dram $$$ at total wine Missed weller cypb and eagle rare 1.75l at albertsons. by a few hours. And was able to purchase Stagg 24b and elmer t lee at albertson for $67 and $65.🎉
Dave IS a stud!! Cheers, my friend. Great video!! I passed on the K&L Rare Character pick and a Michter’s Toasted Barrel Bourbon (still on Hi-Proof’s website).
Nice haul! Over the last three weeks I picked up the following. Booker’s Reserve $94 The Infinite $120 New Riff 8yr rye $65 New Riff 8yr $65 Russell’s 15yr $320 Coy Hill $95 Blue Run Emerald $82 Knob Creek 18yr $130 Booker’s 2024-03 $73 Weller CYPB $45 EH Taylor SB $85 O Forester SB $75 Some prices were from my store owner friend. I was one person behind from getting a Birthday bourbon at Costco for $145 Favorite is the Russell’s 15yr Cheers!
Can you share stores that you found some of these bottles? CYPB for 45 is insane. I know that's not realistic, but having options at reasonable prices is great to know.
Hey Vic! Dave V. is the best around and there is a reason he is so well known and liked in this community! Thanks for everything you do for my channel and cheers my friend~
For Oct, it was my bday at the end of the month. My wife surprised me with a StaggJr15. I picked up a 2019 Michter 10yr Bourbon, Michters BS Rye, WT12 brought back from Japan. And a few store pick from my friends store 4R BS and OFSBBS. Great haul, cheers.
Wow! That's a great haul my friend! Once you have a pour, let me know how you like them! Especially the stagg 15 and michters 10 year bourbon 2019. Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Hey Danny! I'm sure I have said like that more than once 🤣 Can't wait to open my little book infinite 😆 Have a fantastic weekend and cheers my friend ~
Grab the ECBP and love it. My very first c-batch. Great flex with the Russell's 15! One of these days I'll hit the grand reserve status at total wine (just buy the wife more champagne). Had a pour of the Cellar age at MM and it was nice. I just picked up Olk Elk infinity, cigar and rum finished rye from K&L for 40/30/20 each. All three were the insider email price specials. I think retail for all three is about $380. Going to really enjoy all three.
I found the following: JD 2024 Coy Hill ($79.99) E.H. Taylor single barrel ($59.99) JD 10 year old (89.99) as part of a bundle package Mitchers Barrel Proof bourbon ($109.99) as part of a bundle package
Great pickups! Have not seen Pipe Dream 101. I would jump all over it. I also passed on the Remus Babe Ruth. Cheapest I have seen Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2024 is $400. 🥃
Hey Dave! I'm sure you'll find those at msrp or close to it, but if not, you know what to do 😆 (just let me know). Thanks again Dave for all you do for our community and take care my friend ~
Nice haul David. I just missed out on the RR15 b/c PA F’d up and priced it at the RR10 price so even though was in the store when it dropped could not buy it and some stores (knowing it was the fair thing to do) took names and reserved bottles and others,like mine, didn’t care and just said it will be for sale whenever state fixes price issue.
Just wanted to say that your review of K Luke was spot on. I picked up a bottle of the toasted rye on the cheap and was underwhelmed. Absolutely no toasted flavoring came through. Just a regular non age stated rye with decent flavors. Firmly in the ok but not great category. Lesson learned
Hey Billy! The toasted rye is really for people who really like that profile but I would definitely recommend the K.Luke Bourbon if you get a chance as those are just delicious! Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Honestly that's a great price and I would have purchased it for that as well! 😆 Once you have a pour, let me know if it's worth the hype! Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Hey Adam! Yes, great time of the year... to be disappointed most of the time 🤣 I hope you find some great bottles this season! Have a wonderful day and cheers~
Great video David! Great haul with the Rare Character, Bookers and RR15 lottery win. Some real heavy hitters there. The only real miss was the Bookers Infinite & Bardstown Disco#12 for me. They went so fast. Hoping a new shipment hits our area again.
The stores that had the OFBB and EHTBP Rye are on crack! Looks like you got a couple nice gift bottles! ECBP C924 I'm on the lookout for. B524 is still floating around in my area funny enough but B524 is a solid batch! That Russell's Reserve 15 is the real prize! Stinks that Total Wine had it marked up that much for a lottery buy. I haven't been picking up much lately. Uncle Nearest Single Barrel has been one of my most recent gem finds. Uncle Nearest Single Barrel is the TRUTH! I was certainly surprised when I tried that one! A buddy of mine got me a bottle of New Riff Balboa Rye for my birthday last month! I tried that at his place one time and I like it so much I went looking for it but I hadn't been able to find one.
I'm sure you'll be able to find the ECBP C924 soon and that uncle nearest single barrel I heard was fantastic! That was a nice gift you you got for your birthday (happy late birthday 🎂)! Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Hey David, Glad to hear you got the Cellar Aged you were looking for. I'm sure it is great (for a wheater lol) ! Some of the bottles you passed on might well be absolutely delicious but $800 + ? I just won't do it. But I don't think I'm missing out on anything because there are sooo many great pours at a reasonable price. I'll stay in my lane. You're quite welcome for the Lost recipe bottle. I could not believe that it would have that much mocha on the finish... hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. D
Hey Dana! Super appreciate the Maker's Mark and all your support. Hopefully the giveaway was enough to "pay it forward" for your generosity 🙏 Have a fantastic weekend and take care my friend!
I was very fortunate to get Parker at MSRP ($170) and 4RLE ($220). They were raining in VA ABC. Also, could score Michter 10yr Rye ($200) from VA ABC. Got MNDW Dram act 12 found in Costco ($129.99) and LB Infinite $159.99 from Costco again. Couldn't pass those lol. RR15 was the one I had to pay 2ndary - $400. I also won Found North Batch 10. So far, my #1 among this is surprisingly Found North bath 10.
Those are some amazing bottles you found and for you to say you enjoyed the FN10 more than any of those is more surprising. It seems I'll need to find a pour of that soon! Super appreciate your comment and the insight! Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
@WhiskeyBank rr15 kicks your nose right in front. But fn b10 seems deeper darker and lingering taste like liver blow. Very different profile. Could also taste some owa like taste note too. I love them both. But somehow I was looking for 2nd bottle in online store. $399 I paid for rr15 probably made me look for FN b10 over rr15 lol
David I wish I had your whiskey bank balance, wow, that's a lot of high end whiskey, congrats. Slow month for me, I got a James E. Pepper decanter, Bardstown Origin high rye, Makers CS, and WT 101.
Slow month but some solid ones for you 😆 i seem to do a little too much hunting. It might be time for me to slow down a bit and enjoy what I have. I say this and will go out again tomorrow 🤣🤣🤣 Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank Had a great weekend so far, went to Eugene for Oregon Ducks football, woke up and hit the liquor store right next to hotel, scored my 1st ever ECBP and Larceny BP, both C924's, thanks David
I would love a video comparing the different pipe dreams, as someone who was really disappointed with the regular pipe dream as I felt it was too watery, I'd love to see a review of the 101 as I think it would be a huge improvement.
Have you had Hardin’s Creek Jacob’s Well batch 2? (211 months) If not I highly recommend looking for one before they dry up. I just had one shipped from Cali, so I think they’re still out there atm.
@WhiskeyBank the shipping is 38 for 4 bottles. So add 9.50 per bottle. No big deal. So the bundle would be 263.50 for the Russell's 15 and 64.50 for the 10 years. Not a big overcharge when you think about it.
Great scores! In your opinion, what ryes would be really close to the michters barrel strength? I can’t find it anywhere around me but tried a sample and loved it.
Honestly, not many ryes can do what michters barrel strength rye can do with its low barrel entry proof and low proof, yet full of flavor and finish. Closest I can think of is WhistlePig 15 year or bulliet 12 year rye. Lower proof yet with some oak and a good finish. Hope this helps and have a fantastic weekend!
@@WhiskeyBank agreed. I’m more in the bourbon drinker ryes and I have 2 JDSBBP which are a very close second albeit a different profile but at 134 it’s a little harder sipping than the 107. Not sure how they get it so dark, rich and sweet but whatever they’re doing it’s awesome.
The Hi Proof TKO is so good. Trying to not go through it too fast. I wanted the Cypress craft Redwood pick but man 160 bucks for a 8.5 year is just too steep for me
Hey Matt! I agree with your assessment on the Haystack. It'll be featured in my November video but I also passed on that due to the price. I can't keep spending $150+ on bottles I have no idea how good it is. Hopefully prices will come down on those but it's sold out so I doubt it 😕. Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Hey David, I just recently hit Grand reserve status at total wine, how do you know if your name is in the lottery? The guy at the store didn’t know how to explain it me. Keep up the great work!!!
Hey Austin! You'll either get an email to pick your preference or if you log into the total wine website, you'll see an option under the "rewards" section. Not sure you'll be able to get in to the most recent one, but you'll be in all the ones in 2025 so good luck! Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
I totally get it prices have gone out through the ceiling lately it took me over 20 years to get relationships with stores and order to purchase these bottles at MSRP or just above MSRP but the problem is I spend thousands of dollars mean time been collecting since 1991 and I don't really care for what has happened lately with the industry they are taking advantage of people just my personal opinion
Hey William! I agree to some extent. Wild turkey unfortunately is leading the charge with Buffalo trace and heaven hill not far behind. We'll see where the breaking point will be but with everything selling out, it seems we haven't reached it. Have a fantastic Veterans day and cheers ~
@WhiskeyBank it was good id say. Out of the barrel proof bourbons I've had. It was the most easy drinking. It was 73$ though. Today I just bought my first Weller antique 107. I don't know if should open it right away lol
I would never entertain those prices for the allocated bottles. Some of them don't even hold their weight when it comes to drinking them. There are so many great bottles on the shelves between $50-$100.. Great review
Hey Keith! I agree and that's why I had to pass on them 😆 hopefully I'll be able to find them at good prices soon 🙏 Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Some great pickups, David. I was able to pick up Stagg 24B ($70), EH Taylor Single Barrel ($82), and Eagle Rare 1.75L ($62) at Total Wine. It was a right place, right time sort of thing, as the bottles were being put out on the shelves. Also, note that in California, you do not need to be a member of Costco or Sam's Club to purchase alcohol there. Under California law, alcohol sales to the general public cannot be predicated upon or require a membership.
Hey Mike! That's a great haul from total wine 👍 I'm aware of the Costco alcohol rule but they make it a hassle to do so... so it's just not worth it anymore for me 😆 Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
You're right, but the hassle to do it now, especially on these limited edition whiskeys, are just too much. Maybe it's time I get a membership 😆 Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
If you visit these stores due to this video, let them know Whiskey Bank sent you! 😆
I can't count how many times I've heard Dave Vogelsang's name in TH-cam videos. What a generous guy!
Hey Robert! I agree, Dave is the man! 😆
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
I bought a couple of bottles that you passed on. And, a manager of a store gave me his bottle of Stagg from home for free for a help I provided for him. It was great.
Hey Mr. Kim! That's awesome! I don't know how you helped him but that's a great way to say thank you 😆
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Dave V is one of the most generous people in the whiskey tube world. I just happen to look out and pick up a bottle of that Russell’s 15 yesterday when Pennsylvania dropped it and I have to say it is one of the best bottles out there this year. Cheers, David.🥃
Hey Michael! Dave V is one of the best out there for sure and so is that Russell's Reserve 15 😆.
Have a great Veterans day and cheers ~

Hey Frank! I haven't found a bad Elijah Craig barrel proof batch yet! Some might be better than others but all are delicious ~
Have a wonderful Veterans day and cheers ~
Dude, I love your videos. Would love to have you in my store sometime in Perris.
I just checked Google maps and it's not too far. Maybe we can arrange a day 😆. My email is in the description of my videos or my channel page on TH-cam and let me know your store!
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Great haul! I'm still hunting the Russell 15
Why, IMO it's not worth over $150-$200.. Good luck
Hey Rob! RR15 was a lucky win at total wine lottery! Let's hope for some more luck with the year end lottery 🙏
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Hi David
Congrats on Russell's 15.
This month
Passed on Elijah craig 18 and Midwinter Nights dram $$$ at total wine
Missed weller cypb and eagle rare 1.75l at albertsons. by a few hours.
And was able to purchase
Stagg 24b and elmer t lee at albertson for $67 and $65.🎉
Hey Jose! That is a fantastic haul! Let me know your thoughts on the stagg when you have a pour!
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Dave IS a stud!! Cheers, my friend. Great video!! I passed on the K&L Rare Character pick and a Michter’s Toasted Barrel Bourbon (still on Hi-Proof’s website).
Those are some good bottles you passed on! 😆 I'm sure you found some good ones as well though 👍
Have a great day and cheers~
Nice haul! Over the last three weeks I picked up the following.
Booker’s Reserve $94
The Infinite $120
New Riff 8yr rye $65
New Riff 8yr $65
Russell’s 15yr $320
Coy Hill $95
Blue Run Emerald $82
Knob Creek 18yr $130
Booker’s 2024-03 $73
Weller CYPB $45
EH Taylor SB $85
O Forester SB $75
Some prices were from my store owner friend. I was one person behind from getting a Birthday bourbon at Costco for $145
Favorite is the Russell’s 15yr
Cheers!
Hey Nick! Lucky man 🫠 I'm jealous. Hope you take care of your liver so you can enjoy those wonderful whiskeys 😆
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
@ I went to Cayucos this weekend and picked up a 10yr ECBP store pick, Westward single malt whiskey, and a Corbin Cash 130 proof store pick. Cheers!
@nickp5511 also fantastic stuff! Don't know where you store all these!
Can you share stores that you found some of these bottles? CYPB for 45 is insane. I know that's not realistic, but having options at reasonable prices is great to know.
Nice haul! I was lucky enough to get one of the Coy Hill's from Brea a couple weeks ago.
That is a bottle worth at Msrp... I have the 2021 and it's fantastic.
Wow! That's so awesome! That alone beats my entire haul 🤣 . Once you have a pour, let me know how you like it!
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
That is a great haul and love that @Dave Vogelsang supports channels so well!
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on a few of them! 🥃
Hey Vic! Dave V. is the best around and there is a reason he is so well known and liked in this community!

Hey Troy! I guess the trade off is state income taxes so I don't know which is better 😆
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Great video, David.
Thanks a ton Peter 🥰
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Nice haul! Whenever you say TW, I hear Total wine & never more 🤣🤣 That LB Infinite is delicious. Might be one of the top Jim beams I've tried
Hey Danny! I'm sure I have said like that more than once 🤣
Can't wait to open my little book infinite 😆
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers my friend ~
Grab the ECBP and love it. My very first c-batch. Great flex with the Russell's 15! One of these days I'll hit the grand reserve status at total wine (just buy the wife more champagne). Had a pour of the Cellar age at MM and it was nice.
I just picked up Olk Elk infinity, cigar and rum finished rye from K&L for 40/30/20 each. All three were the insider email price specials. I think retail for all three is about $380. Going to really enjoy all three.
Nice haul! Once you get those Old Elk bottles, let me know how they are!
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Picked up another Russell’s 15 for $380 online. Love that bottle and it’s not often you can get a “whiskey of the year” type bottle for that price
Hey James! I agree~~ just a unicorn type of flavor at prices lower than most bottles in that level!
Have a fantastic evening and cheers ~
You are spot on with your passes. Like you I have passed on many of them. I still am hunting Booker’s Reserve for a decent price, however.
Same here! November will be our month! 😎
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
I found the following:
JD 2024 Coy Hill ($79.99)
E.H. Taylor single barrel ($59.99)
JD 10 year old (89.99) as part of a bundle package
Mitchers Barrel Proof bourbon ($109.99) as part of a bundle package
Wow! That's awesome~ let me know your favorite when you have a pour~
Have a fantastic evening and cheers ~
Great pickups! Have not seen Pipe Dream 101. I would jump all over it. I also passed on the Remus Babe Ruth. Cheapest I have seen Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2024 is $400. 🥃
Hey Dave! I'm sure you'll find those at msrp or close to it, but if not, you know what to do 😆 (just let me know).
Thanks again Dave for all you do for our community and take care my friend ~

That's so sad to hear but I'm sure it'll work out and you'll find your bottle soon!
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
I tried the little book infinite and it's a great tasting bottle.
Hey Thomas! Can't wait to open mine 😆
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Just wanted to say that your review of K Luke was spot on. I picked up a bottle of the toasted rye on the cheap and was underwhelmed. Absolutely no toasted flavoring came through. Just a regular non age stated rye with decent flavors. Firmly in the ok but not great category. Lesson learned
Also the sagamore 9 yr is top tier
Hey Billy! The toasted rye is really for people who really like that profile but I would definitely recommend the K.Luke Bourbon if you get a chance as those are just delicious!
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
So true!
Not at msrp, but I was also able to get EHT BP Rye for $260 at some random liquor store. I was pretty excited
Honestly that's a great price and I would have purchased it for that as well! 😆
Once you have a pour, let me know if it's worth the hype!
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
It is a great time of the year
Hey Adam! Yes, great time of the year... to be disappointed most of the time 🤣 I hope you find some great bottles this season!
Have a wonderful day and cheers~
Great video David! Great haul with the Rare Character, Bookers and RR15 lottery win. Some real heavy hitters there. The only real miss was the Bookers Infinite & Bardstown Disco#12 for me. They went so fast. Hoping a new shipment hits our area again.
Hey Jim! That Discovery 12 is so elusive 😮💨 let's hope we can find it soon 😆
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~

I was very fortunate to get Parker at MSRP ($170) and 4RLE ($220). They were raining in VA ABC. Also, could score Michter 10yr Rye ($200) from VA ABC.

Me too 🤣 but I might have to do one soon 😁
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Another great month. You were definitely in the right place and time on a few of them. Have you seen JD Coy Hill in CA?
Hey Dave! I've seen the coy hill. Just not at any reasonable price 😆
I'm hoping to find one this year.
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Have you had Hardin’s Creek Jacob’s Well batch 2? (211 months)
If not I highly recommend looking for one before they dry up. I just had one shipped from Cali, so I think they’re still out there atm.
I do have one but if they are still around, I'll definitely need to pick up a back up! 😆
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
That Pipe Dream 101 is worth it, in my opinion.
Hey Carlos! I'll certainly need to go back and pick it up 😆
Have a fantastic Veterans day and cheers ~
If you are still interested in the Bookers Reserve. Bros liquor has a bundle for the Reserve and 2 Bookers for 350. Great deal
I saw that! With shipping, it gets quite expensive so I'm hoping to find it close to home 😆
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
@WhiskeyBank the shipping is 38 for 4 bottles. So add 9.50 per bottle. No big deal. So the bundle would be 263.50 for the Russell's 15 and 64.50 for the 10 years. Not a big overcharge when you think about it.
ECBP18: Tried at a bar and same feeling!!!!!!!!, Buffalo Trace mashbill #2: mostly too expensive, RR15: i just bought the second bottle
RR15 is the truce and one of the best whiskeys in 2024 for sure~
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
Sunrise Food and Liquor in sacramento sells their Hancock Reserve for $60. They ship in CA as well
Thanks for the information but I think that is a good $30 bottle and I'm also allergic to shipping fees 🤣
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~

Honestly, not many ryes can do what michters barrel strength rye can do with its low barrel entry proof and low proof, yet full of flavor and finish.
Closest I can think of is WhistlePig 15 year or bulliet 12 year rye. Lower proof yet with some oak and a good finish.

The Hi Proof TKO is so good. Trying to not go through it too fast. I wanted the Cypress craft Redwood pick but man 160 bucks for a 8.5 year is just too steep for me
Hey Matt! I agree with your assessment on the Haystack. It'll be featured in my November video but I also passed on that due to the price. I can't keep spending $150+ on bottles I have no idea how good it is. Hopefully prices will come down on those but it's sold out so I doubt it 😕.
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Hey David, I just recently hit Grand reserve status at total wine, how do you know if your name is in the lottery? The guy at the store didn’t know how to explain it me. Keep up the great work!!!
Hey Austin! You'll either get an email to pick your preference or if you log into the total wine website, you'll see an option under the "rewards" section. Not sure you'll be able to get in to the most recent one, but you'll be in all the ones in 2025 so good luck!
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
@ awesome, appreciate it!
What, you passed on Blanton's at Total Wine and they didn't try to sell you some Chestnut Farms?
🤣🤣🤣
Have a wonderful weekend!
Dude don’t remember you saying you got the 00000 mystery stave bottle from cypress craft if not it’s a definite buy
Never had it and now I'll have to find a pour 😆
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
I totally get it prices have gone out through the ceiling lately it took me over 20 years to get relationships with stores and order to purchase these bottles at MSRP or just above MSRP but the problem is I spend thousands of dollars mean time been collecting since 1991 and I don't really care for what has happened lately with the industry they are taking advantage of people just my personal opinion
Hey William! I agree to some extent. Wild turkey unfortunately is leading the charge with Buffalo trace and heaven hill not far behind. We'll see where the breaking point will be but with everything selling out, it seems we haven't reached it.
Have a fantastic Veterans day and cheers ~
No sagamore 9yr from hi proof?
That will be featured in my November video and tune in to see if I got it.. or missed it 🤣
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Trying out redwood empire cask strength let see how this goes
Hey Dalton! Once you have a pour, let me know how you liked it!
Have a wonderful evening and cheers~
@WhiskeyBank it was good id say. Out of the barrel proof bourbons I've had. It was the most easy drinking. It was 73$ though. Today I just bought my first Weller antique 107. I don't know if should open it right away lol
I would never entertain those prices for the allocated bottles. Some of them don't even hold their weight when it comes to drinking them. There are so many great bottles on the shelves between $50-$100.. Great review
Hey Keith! I agree and that's why I had to pass on them 😆 hopefully I'll be able to find them at good prices soon 🙏
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
I have a Parker's 14yr to trade...if you so happen to have a 13th Colony anniversary or a Buckner 13 year!
Hey Robert! I wish I had either of those 😆 if you ever open that Parker's, let me know if it's worth the hunt!
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Wild Turkey 8yr 70th Anniversary
That's a great one!
Have a fantastic Veterans day and cheers~
Some great pickups, David.
I was able to pick up Stagg 24B ($70), EH Taylor Single Barrel ($82), and Eagle Rare 1.75L ($62) at Total Wine. It was a right place, right time sort of thing, as the bottles were being put out on the shelves.
Also, note that in California, you do not need to be a member of Costco or Sam's Club to purchase alcohol there. Under California law, alcohol sales to the general public cannot be predicated upon or require a membership.
Hey Mike! That's a great haul from total wine 👍
I'm aware of the Costco alcohol rule but they make it a hassle to do so... so it's just not worth it anymore for me 😆
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
Yeah you were at the right place at the right time. Lucky you! 😂
Costco dont need membership for alcohol purchase
Depends on the state
You're right, but the hassle to do it now, especially on these limited edition whiskeys, are just too much. Maybe it's time I get a membership 😆
Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~
One of your best hauls yet!!
Another banger of a video.
Have a great rest of your Friday.
Cheers 🥃
Thank you Glen!
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
I passed on the elijah craig at 160, its good but at only 90 proof ehhh not worth it even at msrp
Hey Derek! I agree. A little too oaky and just too thin for my taste 😆
Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~
