Costco is currently clearing out their stock of 40 year old single malt scotch whisky at $199.97. It was for $399.99. It seems the price is valid at all stores (at least in Illinois). Also, it's not on sale in all states, as one of the members pointed out, it's not on sale in Delaware. I would strongly suggest to call ahead and ask for Item # 746526 for inventory and also the price. Originally was selling for $699.99.
Also, please do not compare this with blue label or any other blended scotch whisky, this is single malt, which tends to be little expensive and smoother (at least for me). I have always loved Costco brand Kirkland's single malt offerings and I am pretty sure won't be disappointed with this. Also, the price might say $399.99, but ring up as $199.97 as price change might have happened recently.

I found very funny..
Coming back to the topic.. so its a 40y old.. how can we know for sure? With so many scams out there, its so easy for someone in the value chain to lie and add a few years and sell for more..
The only way Costco would have verified is by having one of their inhouse tasters.. taste it and certify.. That is not enough for me to shell out 4 times what I normally pay for a bottle. Lagavulin 16 at $55.. better value in my opinion.
The reason they are "clearing them out" ?.. no one buying at that ridiculous price thats why.
Has anyone tried this? opinions? I might still pick up a bottle at $199.
It has passed your bed time.

Evidently not.
Maybe I've been too broke for too long. Or maybe I just don't have very refined tastes. But I just don't know how you can rationalize that big of a price differential between normal liquor store scotch and this stuff unless it's an absolutely life-changing experience. And even then, how you end up with the discretionary income for that to even be a serious consideration.
For those in the South Bay Area, here is the inventory count: Almaden 5, NE San Jose 2, Fremont 15, Hayward 12, and Gilroy 2.

Anybody see a $55 Lagavulin in Atlanta area Costco? Please alert if you do.

Or, if you're feeling adventurous try some Kilchoman. New distillery (first in Islay for like 100 years). I grabbed a 2014 release of theirs for about $28 wholesale and really enjoyed it, even with it's apparent 6 years aged. They should have a 10 year out pretty soon here, not sure of the price point.
