Nothing good in the rum offerings here. Just Bacardi and Capt Morgan.

Listen to n00b...no decent rums.

But I did find a 1.75lt. bottle of 10YO Glenmorangie at Costco the other day for $49.95.

Two 750ml bottles elsewhere would run ya around $70.

Whatsamattah, you can't drink single malt?

They sell all KINDS of booze in Cali. Beer, wine, port, scotch, rum, vodka, etc. I haven't seen any real good rum.. but like Pecan said, you can find some deals on single malt and stuff like grey goose will be cheaper at costco than any other liquor store.

Echo MACS. I got a 750ml of 18yr Glenlivet for Twenny-nine ninety five.

Man's rule: Buy a good bottle and keep it. You don't know when you'll need to have the good stuff.

re #10: No kidding? 18yo? That stuff goes for a whole lot more down here. I can get the 12yo for around that price from Costco and Sam's.

You can get Fonseca Port at Costco for about $12-14 per bottle. Granted that it is not one of Fonseca's top-line, decades old bottles, it is still good stuff.

Our Costco in Ohio does not sell booze, just beer and wine.............

The one in California had everything. I could buy Jack Daniels Single Barrel for 29 bucks a bottle.

Here in Orlando, just about all the major chain grocery stores have fully stocked liquor stores.

We finally got a Total Wine store here....amazing, huge selection of wine, spirits, beer, and even a cigar humidor. They took over an old CompUSA store, that's how big it is, and prices are the same or usually better than Costco... totalwine.com

I bought some 10 year old Tawny Porto aged in wood cast, sold under the Kirkland Name, for about 12.00. Good Stuff.

As for their Booze, I think it depends on the state and whether they have a license to sell in that state.

Rum..??? I don't know.

They sell liquor in our area, and we usually buy Sobieski Vodka. 1.75 Liter made in Poland, Triple distilled for 19.00 and some change. Good stuff. Not Grey Goose, but better than Absolute.

n00b,

Exactly why I bought two. 18 yr is a really, really good scotch.
