Imported from Colorado. Can't get this in Texas. Pretty darn good for the price!

Barton seems to be doing a ton of contract/sourced distilling these days. I wonder if they are trying to the the MGP of the Sazerac brand.

Have you had the Wolcott from TW? If so how do they compare?

On a side note. Costco's here (Houston and maybe Texas) don't sell the Kirkland bourbons. Not sure exactly here.

Like most things it is because of the idiots in Austin. Costco cannot manage their own stores by law thus the stores that are attached to them don't carry their house brand.

Here is the relevant statue -

Quote:

Sec. 22.16. OWNERSHIP BY PUBLIC CORPORATIONS PROHIBITED. (a) A package store permit may not be owned or held by a public corporation, or by any entity which is directly or indirectly owned or controlled, in whole or in part, by a public corporation, or by any entity which would hold the package store permit for the benefit of a public corporation.
(b) For purposes of this section, a public corporation means:
(1) any corporation or other legal entity whose shares or other evidence of ownership are listed on a public stock exchange; or
(2) any corporation or other legal entity in which more than 35 persons hold an ownership interest in the entity.
(c) Before the commission may renew a package store permit, an individual who is an owner or officer of the permittee must file with the commission a sworn affidavit stating that the permittee fully complies with the requirements of this section.
(d) This section shall not apply to a package store located in a hotel.
(e) Any package store permittee who is injured in his business or property by another package store permittee or by any other person by reason of anything prohibited in this section may institute suit in any district court in the county where the violation is alleged to have occurred to require enforcement by injunctive procedures and to recover triple damages plus costs of suit including reasonable attorney's fees.

I think a blind with Kirkland, Very Old Barton, 1792, and Wolcott would be fun to try. They should all be very similar and it would be interesting to see which you prefer.
