The Scotch Chix have no affiliation with DC Comics,
and we sincerely apologize for playing with their logo.
With a dearth of opportunities for DC Scotch Chick to secure the Kirkland Signature 18-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch From Macallan Distillery ("Kirkland Macallan 18" for short) in the DC/Virginia/Maryland area, CA Scotch Chick knew that the hopes of Loyal Scotch Chix Fans everywhere were resting on her. Consequently, as soon as the Scotch Chix posted their order to Run! Don't Walk! last Monday, she set out to do just that. Since Costco was a bit far for either running or walking, however, she suited up and set out on her faithful yellow scooter, Woodstock.
Just a quick aside, she may look like Batgirl when she suits up, but CA Scotch Chick never hops onto Woodstock without her gear – helmet; black leather motorcycle pants, jacket, and gloves; and, of course, bright red leather motorcycle boots. It is sometimes hot and/or uncomfortable, but it is a lot less uncomfortable than a skin graft – and a heck of a lot sexier too.
On with the story – CA Scotch Chick and Woodstock tooled on over to her local Costco and located the liquor section. She found original distillery bottlings of The Macallan 12, Glenfidditch 12, The Glenlivet 12, and The Glenlivet 18 for approximately 10 percent less than at her local Bevmo, but, alas, no Kirkland Macallan 18 for approximately half the price.
She strode up to a nearby stock boy who did not look old enough to legally drink the wine he was loading onto the shelf and inquired as to whether he knew where the Kirkland Macallan 18 was kept. He seemed to be flabbergasted both by a hot chick in leather asking him a question and by the question itself. "Gee lady," he stammered, "I've never seen it here. That's the only scotch we've got."
Not be deterred, your intrepid CA Scotch Chick headed to customer service. The stock boy's slightly older cousin was manning the kiosk - glad to know Costco supports the local youth during summer vacation. He turned out to be unfazed by either CA Scotch Chick or her questions, and he focused his quite competent attention on the computer. He reported back that this particular Costco hadn't had Kirkland Macallan 18 for over two weeks (as far back as the computer went), it was not slotted for repurchase, but that one store in the entire county, a store in South East San Diego, had two bottles. CA Scotch Chick hopped on Woodstock and roared down Highway 15 (cut to whirling music and image of Chixgirl riding down the freeway).
Alas, the trip down south turned out to be a bust. Not only did the southern Costco not have Kirkland Macallan 18, the only scotch it stocked was Chivas Regal. The much older customer service clerk offered that the stock list on the computer meant nothing when it was down to two or three bottles - those easily could have been broken or stolen. Dejected but not defeated, CA Scotch Chick and Woodstock returned to the Chix-cave to contemplate their next moves.
Holy Whisky Batman!
Will CA Scotch Chick be able to find Kirkland Macallan 18?
Is it even available in the United States?
Will the Scotch Chix ever stop spoofing DC comics and return to some serious single malt sampling?
Tune in next week to find out the answers. Same Chix time, same Chix station.
