That's crazy that they didn't have any BT products or other hard to find bottles. We had a New Costco open in Buckeye last year and I was able to snag EH Taylor, Eagle Rare, Blantons Gold, JD 12, JD Rye barrel strength and a few more. I have only done one overnighter and will probably not do another one but all the new stores in AZ seemed to have a descent selection of products at their grand openings. Interesting to watch and thanks for sharing!
Love this comment in so many ways, but it’s also heart breaking! We have seen the photos of these legendary Grand Opening Hauls. This was our second one, and its wasn’t amazing. We still consider it a win, but had hoped for a couple of rarer bottles to put it over the top
So enjoyed meeting you guys. We were #3/4 next to Milwaukee guys Jake and Brandon. Very happy w bottles we scored. Did wish that there had been a couple of EH Taylor’s available. Thanks again for the reviews.
I thought about driving over from Door County for this. I never have been to one of the store openings. Maybe next time if they open another Costco in the Wisconsin area!
You’re incorrect, the BEP from 2023 was allegedly the last year of the wood finishing series. Then, out of nowhere they released this. If you read the bottle you’d see it’s part of an ongoing new series.
That’s usually the case. Thank you for lending us your big brain! We knew that BEP was the last of the previous series. We thought 2024 was a one time line Extension. This is the first we’ve heard of a full series of releases. Great insight. Thank you!!
I’m so sick of this market. Undeserving pricks stashing or buying up all allocated when some of us NEVER get BT shipments. These $100 prices are batshit crazy. Bring back $25 daily’s and $50 specials
Market is wild. No doubt about it. There’s been a huge shift in production to meet new buying habits… but there should be excess inventory hitting the shelves soon which should help correct some of the crazy pricing and allocation restrictions
If it was a Costco grand opening, there were people there lining up to be "first/early in" at Costco. They might be there looking to get electronics or who knows what else given all that is in a Costco.
No offense, but compared to California openings, that's the saddest selection I've seen. Last opening in Norcal had OF10, CYPB & Full Proof, 4R 135th, Blanton's SFTB, Heaven HIll 18, ETL, WFP, Hibiki 30, EHT Barrel Proof, Eagle Rare, 4R pick.
Thanks for taking us around. Enjoy your haul.
You bet! Thanks for watching :)
Fun!! I love watching the adventures 💞
Thanks for tuning in!! Glad you enjoyed the adventure

Great finds!
Thanks you!

Couldn’t agree more!! It was a real pleasure and EHT would have been great!
Pretty sweet seeing this open up now, I took soil samples a while ago here for the engineers to plan out footings for the design of the building
That’s awesome! Full circle. 👍
I'd be a whole lot more excited about that Yamazaki 12 for only 160 or the Ardbeg Spectacular than any of the bourbon I saw in there.
Man!! Wish we knew more about Japanese Whiskey!
Nice find on the Bernheim BP!
Thank you! Sneaky bottom shelfer
Damn camping out all night for 1 old fitz that sucks
Unfortunately it’s not our first time. Thankfully we consider it 2-Old Fitz 😂
Not to mention the cost and time of driving from Milwaukee to chaska mn
Good price on the Yamazaki 12. I woulda picked that up. Nice vid guys.
We are still learning the world of Japanese Whisky. We will keeps our eyes out next time. Thank you!
I went and filmed that day, too! Just found your channel, cheers!
Right On! Thanks for watching. Cheers 🥃
I'm not camping out for bourbon, but not gonna hate on it. I'm glad I live in SoCal where stuff has become much easier to acquire.
On behalf of the rest of the country, we are jealous of California’s bountiful bourbon selection

If they open another, we will see you there!!

Yep heart series that bottle is 1 of 5 in the series

Some nice pickups! Too bad they didn’t have anything more impressive, though the quantities were incredible wow
Yes! Never saw that many Old Fitzgerald bottles in one spot.
Fitz is good. That little book is very good too
Agreed. We haven’t tried the little book yet, but have really enjoyed the last few Bookers releases.
Camping out for mid releases, I’d be pissed 😂
🤷♂️ what can you do… It seems like South and West Coast opening are massive hauls. Everywhere else is Mid.

HAHAHAHAHA You guys drove from Milwaukee and camped out overnight for that?!
Yes! Also the video you just watched. Cheers
Heard that those 4 roses were going up in price 🤔 they are very good 👍 😉🥃 Cheers
Honestly that’s the least expensive we’ve ever found one. In MKE they usually hover just over $100
Were you expecting Blantons Gold?
We were told they had some Blantons Gold , but that the manager may have stashed them for their friends? Who knows 🤷♂️
The Bourbon Bros look a little more thawed out than Eau Claire. Looks like the trip was worth it!!!
Yes sir!!!it’s was a great trip.
Hold on...people are making their kids wait with them in line all night... for fucking liquor?
To be fair, their kids were in a $100k Mercedes sprinter van with Flat Screen TV and air conditioning!
If it was a Costco grand opening, there were people there lining up to be "first/early in" at Costco. They might be there looking to get electronics or who knows what else given all that is in a Costco.
Yummy!
YES. cheers!!
We get Jack shit in Canada. Nothing like what u guys get. Wow
That’s such a bummer, really sorry to hear that! If you ever find yourself in WI, let us know. We will take care of you
Nice pickup on the OF
Thank you! The OF made the trip
yamazaki 12 for 159?
We know!! Too focused on Bourbon to stop and realize what else was really available.
I think this might be the most awkward bourbon hunting video I've seen. What strange interactions.
Bummer!
🥃😋🥃
Cheers!

"no Blantons Gold", everything you got is better than Blanton's Gold.
100% agree with you!
What a bunch of losers
You bet!
Not impressed. At all.
It wasn’t the best haul.
I'm in the Milwaukee area if you have any meetups how do you advertise for them thanks guys 🧂🥃🇺🇸
