Burnt passenger seat on 1st day..

I need proof of this. I could see it being possible, but proof.

 

Per this article

Kirkland Brand does do collaborations with other producers and usually they're pretty dang good. I believe they did a batch with Old Barton whiskey and it was pretty damn delicious.

 

Research it......made in same factory and everything.....taste it.....exactly the same..... I work at costco and they (corporate management) have literally told us all the alcohols that we sell under kirkland signature brand come from major distilleries....we just buy in bulk as a company and get crazy discounts and can sell them under our own brand as long as it isnt mentioned where they are made on packaging........the distilleries get paid cash right away and dont have to be repaid on credit which is why the discounts are so good

 

it's Friday, anythings possible.
So sorry it happened to you.

btw, I ordered a set from Costco, its cheaper than Wet Okole's

 

Same factory, could be different formula. Budweiser brews a bunch of different labels. Just saying.

 

As much as I wanted to believe this and have repeated it, this thread made me reasearch it. Per Greygoose and several other sources it isn’t the same or made in the same distillery. It does however consistently beat Greygoose in blind taste tests. So, better for less

 

maybe it's a sign...

 

mom did say drink was the devil.....

 

I saw something very similar happen but it wasn't even a bottle, it was the car itself. A customer had an Ariel Atom parked in front our shop. The afternoon sun was setting behind the car and reflected off the stainless footwell and the reflection was burning his passenger seat. We looked out the window and saw smoke coming from the cockpit and thought WTF. Rushed out and figured out what was happening, threw a towel over the footwell, put out the smolder. Wish I had pics, unfortunately just a crazy story.

 

80 or 100 proof?

 

Anybody who reupholsters seats should be able to do fix it if you just want it fixed. Might not cost must at all either depending one how much work they need to do. May even be able to get the same fabric pattern.

 

2023 are already out?

 

Yes, they started being produced in Guanajuato during the second or third week of September; mine was produced in the first week of September and is still a 2022.

 

All of my Grey Goose snob friends started buying Kirkland years ago. I am not a vodka guy but they all tell me it is very close if not identical.

 

Sucks when your new ride gets screwed up right away.

About 20 years ago my friend gave me a Guiness glass candle he brought back from Ireland, chucked it in the back seat of my new Mustang GT vert and forgot about it, next day it melted all over the leather, that shit never came out, saw the car in a used car lot a number of years later, still had the waxy back seat.

Earlier this year another friend was bringing home his newly acquired $45k CVO Harley in his enclosed trailer, thing somehow fell almost completely over out of the wheel chock and was dangling by the straps, luckily the only thing that touched anything was one of the spotlights, which got snapped off, so he was able to fix it for a couple hundred bucks.

 

Mine built on 9/19

 

Your 2023 was built September of 2019?

 

Yup.....hand machined every bolt and pounded out every imperfection...took 4 years...
Worth it.

Sept 19th 2022

 

Ouch! That would kill me.
But lets be honest Jim...that was the biker gods punishing him for not riding it home.

 

Every time I buy a new vehicle and get to the part where they say "we'll just get it cleaned up and bring it out front." I tell them "nope, just bring it around so I can throw a rock at it before I take it to the Walmart and ram a shopping cart into it a few times."
