I work for a major liquor distributor in sales, and Costco is one of the accounts in my universe. The account is great for getting sales on products we have big goals on because Costco has enormous buying power and the retail floor space. So, major brands and private label and closeout deals and sometimes super rare and hyper expensive stuff all goes to Costco because they can buy it, floor it, and move it. Also, Costco works at a much lower profit margin than any other account or channel so that's why you see some killer deals. All that being said, a sales company that represents a niche product like a desirable rum would have no reason to sell to Costco in bulk when they could sell their entire stock of inventory in the independent channels for higher profit elsewhere unless they needed to turn the inventory quickly. Nevermind actually being able to get an appointment with the buyer! So, a brand like Wray and Nephew or Rum Fire or Chartreuse that barely produces enough to satisfy the normal sales channels would likely never show up in Costco. Doesn't mean that you won't find something good at Costco, it only means you're less likely to find something highly sought after. More on reddit.com

Sad to see the death star on this today. It's one of the best values around. I like this rum better than any of the mainstream brands, and it costs a lot less to boot. More on reddit.com
