Last year they had the 18 year old Macallan rebranded as Kirkland for what, $79? The year before it was $59 and flew off the shelves. I dont think last years price point worked so much for us cheepskates, even for a good bottle!
This year they have 15 year old rebranded Macallan for $48.89. Was lots of it in the Edison Costco last evening. Was suprised nothing was posted yet.

I didnt partake, but Im sure I will. Any brave soul willing to try and post?

Edited title - Enough info?
Edit - Spelling police. Grammar/ syntax next?

I'm guessing maybe this is Scotch? Shouldn't the OP generally provide some more info in their posts than this? Am I crazy?

Do I need a membership to get a bottle? or can I get a 3 day temporary or something to get a few? Macallan 15 year is a fine scotch, although it's no 18! The 15 sells for about $65 if I recall correctly, while the 18 is over $100

Im pretty sure you can get a one day pass and pay like %10 premium on your bill. Not sure.

It seems a good deal either way. Its not being given away but I thought that there is a group of fatwalleters that would be interested in the deal. Thanks for looking.

I bought a bottle of the Macallan 18 last time. Worst mistake I've ever made. I fell in love... and it was gone before I could stock up.

Poor Johnny Black never tasted the same again.

If the 18 year Macallan was back I'd buy them by the case but 15 year... Still better than my Johnny Black but I doubt anywhere near the Macallan 18.

I know that here in California, you don't need a Costco membership to buy alcohol from Costco. It's some state law.

Great post OP. Would be even better if I lived in California. When I was in town before and the 18yr was in stock for $60 that was a hot deal and I wish I would have bought much more and just shipped a crate back, great stuff.

Good gosh. I'm just browsing threads - I didn't know what Macallan was either, but reading two posts I figured out it was a good scotch (the name ought to clue you in), and I saw it was hard alcohol and some states don't sell outside of state liquor stores, and WTF, some bungler with 10K posts asks ...

"Is this wine? DUH!"

Sheesh. Clearly, as one uses FW over time it's like 'see title, ask stupid question, subscribe to thread, leave'

I am not a lush, boozer, wino, or drunk.
I see some here are very familiar with this stuff.
So I asked what it was.

You don't need to be a drunk to enjoy a good aged single cask scotch

No you do not.
But the boob who noted I was unaware of what the item was must assume all are, lushes, booser, drinks or a wino.


And here in Oregon, we have no sales tax but do have state (not run but price mandated) liquor stores.
I am better off buying in Calif even with tax than buying real booze here.

well, the photo attached in the OP is labeled "kirkland single malt" and if you still haven't figured it out, clicking on it reveals the sign "kirkland signature 15 yr old scotch".

not quite sure how much more you need than that, whether you're a lush, boozer, wino, drunk, or never touch the stuff.

I don't know who this Macallan person is that you're posting about, but if she's a girl, maybe you shouldn't be posting this. 15 year old is too young.
