Kirkland Signature TM Bourbon

I read [“Costco introduces Kirkland Signature Bourbon,” April 2011]. However, being a self-professed bourbon connoisseur, I was skeptical. I purchased a bottle and to my surprise was impressed by the quality and drinkability of the Kirkland bourbon.

Just to make sure I hadn’t lost my taste buds, I invited two other bourbon drinkers over for a blind taste test. In all we tasted seven different bourbons, which included several premium, name brand, small batch bourbons; all three of us chose the Kirkland brand as the winner.

This bottle of Kirkland brand bourbon now occupies a space on the top shelf of my home bar.

The final straw for
me to lose weight was
when I was turned down
for life insurance because of my health.

I researched weight loss products and liked what I read about alli®. I started taking alli and weight came off steadily and gradually–generally 2 to 2 ½ pounds each week.

How far would you go if right were wrong WAREHOUSE ONLY

I’ve lost 75 pounds* and feel better than I have in years. I’m happy to report I was issued a life insurance policy and my underwriter included a note to say “well done.”
