Costco is known for selling hard to find whiskey at unexpectedly low prices. Now they are at it again. As reported by this reddit post you can see W. L. Weller special reserve Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey by Buffalo Trace Distillery is selling for $20.49 per 750 ml bottle.
This bottle normally goes for upwards of $60 on sites like Caskers and ReserveBar.
Reddit users pointed out that the price label in the image does not specify a limit per client, in contrast to other rare liquors that Costco sells. However, there is disagreement over whether or not fans can stock up. Other users state that when they arrived at the checkout counter, they were told there was a one-per-member limit.
"I haven't seen this anywhere that sells for less than Costco," writes one commenter. I discovered that both novice and casual whisky drinkers loved it. W. L. Weller special reserve is, in fact, a bourbon that even the most inexperienced enthusiasts may enjoy. This bourbon, which is bottled at 45% ABV, has a softer character thanks to the use of wheat grain rather than rye.
