Costco hit a trifecta of great bourbon expressions this year with their Master Distillers series by Barton 1792 Distillery. Their Small Batch and Single Barrel versions are some of the best whiskeys in their categories at the absolute best value per dollar of any bottle out there right now. Now, it’s finally time to take a look at the third bottle in that trio, Kirkland Signature Bottled-In-Bond by Barton 1792 Master Distillers.
This isn’t some average bottle review. I’m blind testing this bourbon against nine stone-cold classic bottled in bond bourbons — all of them f*cking delicious. I’m not giving Costco’s Bottled-In-Bond any wiggle room to eke out a win here. This is about testing the bourbon waters with the biggest and most-lauded bottles in the whole goddamn game. Can Costco’s bottle stand up to those towering bourbons? Or will it reveal itself to be a cheap — $24 (!) — bottle of bourbon in a one-liter bottle?

I had my wife put the Costco bottle in there at random so that I had no clue where or when it’d pop up. This was especially important as these bourbons are all the same ABV/proof (as per “bottled in bond” law) — so there is no difference in strength to examine. By the end, I was in a conundrum. All of these bourbons are great. Ranking them was damn near impossible. There wasn’t a fault or bad note in the entire panel to pick at or rank.
