Kirkland Small Batch whiskey from Costco is distilled by Barton 1792, and is actually not half bad, especially for a budget daily drinker!

As a Bourbon Tasting Newby, an old Scotch drinker, and big time wine connoisseur, I am watching “tons” of KZbin videos on Bourbon tasting and have discovered that you, Sir, are going away my favorite. Short, to the point, very Bourbon knowledgeable, and a person who “sells” the product and NOT himself. Excellent video.

Interesting how a couple other bourbon channels picked bottled in bond as their favorite of this lineup. Even besting the 12 year and the single barrel in addition to the full proof and small batch. 🤔

The small batch is amazing and I always make sure I have at least one or two stocked in reserve. Never tried the full proof but I have avoided the bib because you’re not the only one who has said the bib is nothing crazy.

Bill, I've only had the FP and it was a Store Pick. It is FANTASTIC = so well balanced and great caramel and toffee notes. One of my best tastes in 2019. Wish I had bought more 12 months ago but only lasted 2 days on the shelf. Then Jim Murray's #1 rating came out and prices jumped WAY up. Cheers and Stay Safe.

I got a ton of aroma notes on the Full Proof, actually had an OMG moment before I even tasted it. Here's my take on it: Tangy fruit(pear, lychee, green grape), new oak, green grass, bubblegum, tobacco, honey roasted almond, vanilla bean, English toffee, Frosted Flakes cereal, slight note of chlorine but not a negative kinda like a fresh clean towel, fresh mint/cilantro, paraffin, cocoa powder, sand/rust/quarry, charred wood spice.

Hard to say on the price I only know prices near me and what others tell me. $50 sounds like a good price as the three 1792 expressions are in the 30's range. If you've got the cash to burn, go for it. If not I'd suggest getting the small batch, its about $30 and will give you a good idea. Just picture it at a higher ABV
