It might be or have been, but that can change

Private label products are contract manufactured to a spec. A little more of a challenge to change something like liquor, but still done (define the aging types, mash, temp and blending and you can get fairly consistent from one manufacturer to another).

Correct, it is one of the best bourbons on the market and at a good price -- Vienna_Hokie 02/17/2022 10:35AM

Am a fan of 1792 as well -- Burke Hokie 02/17/2022 10:50AM

I got to the DC Costco and grabbed the Kirklands. It was good but not to -- RhinoVT 02/17/2022 10:46AM

Kirkland ran a series last year, I had the small batch -- Vienna_Hokie 02/17/2022 10:51AM

Still POed that VA only sells liquor through their state package stores -- EDGEMAN 02/17/2022 10:49AM

Still? Hasn't it been that way since 1934? ** -- statmanfromHCyrs 02/17/2022 11:13AM

There was a bill filed a month ago with the intent of abolishing that -- Burke Hokie 02/17/2022 10:55AM

That gets filed every year. ** -- RhinoVT 02/17/2022 11:05AM

If I was king for a day, would ban all gambling ads on TV and radio -- EDGEMAN 02/17/2022 11:33AM

Still wondering how lotteries and gambling exist -- Vienna_Hokie 02/17/2022 2:02PM

Just tried looking on VA LIS, no sign of bill -- One4VT 02/17/2022 11:04AM

That's unlikely to go anywhere, too many pols and staffers getting paid ** -- Vienna_Hokie 02/17/2022 11:04AM

Isn't Kirkland's bourbon basically Dickel? ** -- vthokieq 02/17/2022 10:49AM

That was the rumor I heard -- EDGEMAN 02/17/2022 11:02AM

It might be or have been, but that can change -- Vienna_Hokie 02/17/2022 10:59AM

Well...I believe it was Beam before Dickel. ** -- vthokieq 02/17/2022 11:03AM

Lots of analysis on Kirkland spirits. That's the thought. And the vodka is -- RhinoVT 02/17/2022 10:53AM

There is a crap-ton of good bourbon for under $50 -- Beerman 02/17/2022 09:51AM

As you say, taste is a bit subjective -- Tafkam Hokie 02/17/2022 09:58AM

Sure. Terrific for under $30 -- Beerman 02/17/2022 10:01AM

Agree 100%. ** -- vthokieq 02/17/2022 10:13AM

Not really weird, greedy. Most of the hoarding is done by profiteers. Some -- RhinoVT 02/17/2022 10:12AM

If you like Angel's Envy, give Coopers a try -- Vienna_Hokie 02/17/2022 10:38AM

Agreed. Dollar for dollar might be the best bourbon there is. ** -- RhinoVT 02/17/2022 09:48AM
