My order from Hi-Time came in Friday.

Partida anejo
El Tesoro anejo
San Matias Orgullo anejo

Picked up a bottle of El Jimador anejo locally for $20 earlier in the week.

I'm the same way, but I'm friends with the owner of my local liquor store and he pushed it on me. Love him for it. I was going through a couple of bottles of the expensive stuff a month. Now if I could only find a $30 scotch that I like more than JW Blue or Macallan, I'd have more $ for Padrons.:tu

Have your tried any of the Indian or Japanese made "Scotch" brands? I think you'll like them quite a lot.

No, but I will now. Ty. I know some US companies out West are using smaller casks to age which gives more surface area of wood per unit of alcohol. This gives a smoother, more aged taste in a lot less time, which means less money. I'm going to give one of those a try this week.

Wow. Just grabbed a bottle of Costco silver tequila... 18.99 for a 1.75 and it's twice the tequila Patron ever hoped to be...if there is a tequila heaven, i'm there now.

Doing a little taste test with Don Julio Blanco...the Don Julio is better.

They have their own brand?

Yeah, I've tried the anejo before and it's okay for the price. Went there for a cheap case of beer today and had to get this at 19 bucks for a 1.75 just to try. Very good for the price, I can sip it and it would be great as a mixer.

They have pretty much everything in the Kirkland brand.

Kirkland is my standard mixer. Good enough by itself, but a no brainer when making drinks.

Did not know. I am not a Costco member. Funny that this should come up at the wife and I are feeling out joining up.

I don't think you need to be a member to partake of the liquor store.

You should join, you'll get the money back in savings in no time and their return policy is the best. Money ($50 a year I think) well spent.

We probably will now that offspring #1 is here. Diapers are cheaper there. I also here they have great price/quality meat there as well.

While technically not tequila, I though it pointless to start a thread dedicated to mezcal.

Bought a bottle of Fidencio Clįsico mezcal. A tad under 90 proof. Very smoky, viscous and smooth.
