Maybe you should get out of the outhouse more often.
AT seems to have an almost annual Kirkland Scotch discussion going. How have you missed this thread being a 14 year member of Anand?
The bourbon is thought to be made by Jim Beam though there is talk of them switching over to some Buffalo Trace made stuff.
I can still buy decent age stated bourbon for $23-$25 per 750ml so I never really thought to try their stuff.
I don't know who makes it now, but I tried it maybe 2 or 3 years ago and it was terrible. Regular Jim Beam was much better.
