Kirkland Bottled in Bond a Costco Bourbon from Barton 1792 Juice

Tonight, we pour Kirkland Bottled in Bond Bourbon — the Costco special that may or may not be straight from 1792. And no, it doesn’t come in a typical 1792 bottle. It’s tall, green-labeled, and full of mystery.

We explore:

• 🥃 Why the Kirkland BiB looks nothing like a typical 1792

• 🧪 The mash bill and whether it’s the same juice

• 🏷️ Sourced whiskey, Costco branding, and Barton 1792 speculation

• 💡 Whether a $50 bottle might actually be a great value pour

This is a true bourbon detective episode — minus the trench coats, plus a Costco receipt.
