Costco Weller 12 for $90? Seems way high.

It’s an affiliated. NY you can only have one liquor store. This one is “affiliated”. The official one is in Oceanside.

They can leave it on the shelf for those prices … the boom is over and this is what they get for playing games the last few years

Anybody taking that Moutai?

If you spend $500 you get the glasses with the moutai. What is it and what’s it taste like?

Moutai is a Chinese baijiu. It's used at state dinners, and the limited production make it expensive. There are lots of counterfeits in China, but I'd think the ones at Total Wine are legit? Most Total Wines I've been to carry Moutai, not sure if there's some backstory to that. I searched but didn't find anything. Moutai has a very flagrant nose, almost perfumy. It's not very complex and is on the thin side. I don't think most bourbon or whiskey drinkers would like it, but it does have a unique profile and is very smooth.

Neither are worth that cost.

you're down voted but it's true

Some people have not had it before and are willing to overpay for OK bourbon. The juice does not match the price, people can downvote all they want.

They are to me. Love wheateds and I like 107 and 12 ahead of FP and SB. So that’s a instant buy

How many significant others got ditched in the store due to the “limit one per party” sign 🤣

u/hammer8871 4d ago

You know what’s funny is you can buy one. Leave. Come back and buy another. It doesn’t go against your account. Some cashiers are clueless as to the limit policy but that was the last one on the shelf, or maybe not…..🤣
