That's because I hadn't started drinking it yet when I took the picture.

Looks like you dropped a bottle of ketchup.

I wish it was ketchup I dropped, then I wouldn't feel like such a dipshit.

You can't beat Costco customer service.

I purchased a big screen TV from them back in the day when they were fairly expensive and not just a throw away item when things went bad. After 1.5 yrs., the screen went out on it. I called the store and talked with the manager. He said to bring it back. No box, no receipt, I hauled back into the store on one of their little flat carts. He said, go pick you out a new one around $xxx amount - actually more than what I had paid for the original. Zero out of pocket for me to upgrade. Most would have told me to talk to the mfg.

Maybe they are like CC companies and just write crap off to keep a customer. Which is the way things should be. No hassle returns and keep the customer for life.

They pretty much laughed when I asked.

I think Macallan owes me a commission check. Whole lot of bottles sold in the context of this thread.

Just poured a dram of the Mac 18 over ice. I much prefer it over the 31 year stuff I bought. 31 stuff not bad without ice, but just no flavor in comparison.

If you go to Scotland don’t order it with ice. They’ll kick your behind and tell you how wrong that is.

The year refers to the age or the year it was made?
