Spotted these at Costco. Picked up one of the left bottles. Seemed less gimmicky.

Hopefully it’s good. GoldBar is garbage

I got the Joe Montana to Dwight Clark GoldBar. It looks cool on display, but thats about it.

Seriously trash.

Beyond horrible taste. Sorry.

Possibly the worst Bourbon ever made.

u/Mattmandu2 5d ago

What the hell I want one of those

The one in the right is not good

Spend 37$ on the russell 10. 10x better bourbon

I want both of these, but it ain't easy getting them on the other side of the country

Deryk Engelland is signing bottles today at Costco. I just walked by and most people are wondering who he is.

Damn left looks amazing I’d just get that as a decorative.

I’d never open it

What were the prices?

2

u/DESRTsnk VGK Jersey 5d ago

The Kentucky bourbon is $20 and the Gold Bar is $40

You can almost expect that these are nothing more than mere novelty. Bonus if they happen to be "decent"

u/DESRTsnk VGK Jersey 5d ago

Yeah, yeah. I could also wear a plain T shirt for a $15 4-pack, or I could spend $25 on a shirt with a VGK logo because there is magic in the world if you believe. 🥹

The new Costco? You managed to get out of there alive? Ppl were saying it was a madhouse

2

u/DESRTsnk VGK Jersey 5d ago

Nah, this was the Costco on Decatur

Gold Bar is a display piece. You don't buy it because it's quality alcohol.

Personally I'm not a fan of purchasing things I don't plan on ever using.

u/DESRTsnk VGK Jersey 5d ago

Yeah I'm gonna try the Kentucky bourbon tonight with dinner.

I thought that including a patch with a fancy bottle and a sticker that says limited edition was trying too hard to sell it.

1

u/SRSgoblin Haguerbomb 5d ago

Yeah totally. Like I said, it's a brand that you put on your shelf because it looks good, but I have Lego models and painted figurines and just, like, books for that.

u/1_headlight_ 4d ago

Rough around the edges and lacks depth. And the bourbon isn't that good, either.

u/Suspicious-Offer-420 3d ago

Tastes cheap. Almost as cheap as that shot Stone took on Miro.

u/DESRTsnk VGK Jersey 3d ago

I thought it was pretty good, but I ain't no whiskey snob. 😆 I have some Old Forester 1910 that I keep as my "fancy whiskey", but I'm an entry level bourbon guy.

Gold bar is hot garbage. Not even for the decoration. Seen the other one, but never bothered with it.
