Costco

Anyone familiar with their liquor? I was curious if their brand bourbon was any good? Thanks in advance.

Kirkland “7yr” premium small batch is pretty good. Since it’s bottled at 103 proof, it has a little alcohol burn. I would suggest it’s best for cocktails and not neat. Rumor is it is produced by Jim Beam for Costco.

I happened across an article a few weeks ago. It was produced by Beam, but is now produced by Dickel. I'm not sure if it is going through the charcoal mellowing that Dickel and Jack go through to make them Tennessee Whiskies or if it skips that step. Never tried it and I don't think costco sells liquor in my state.

103 proof????

Yep. 103 (51.5%bv)

I bought several of the Kirkland liquors to try when they opened in Ridgeland.

7 yr Bourbon: pretty good, probably better for cocktails - $20 for fifth

Tequila 100% agave silver: Not good. Has a smell that I couldn’t get past. Not even good for a margarita. Could not give it away. Finally poured it out. - -$24 for 1.75

Gin: Still on the fence. A little bright for me... Almost a mint flavor? (Not my favorite for a Gin and Tonic)

Vodka: Both the American and French are good. Folks on the internet claim the French is really private label Grey Goose. (Not sure I agree with that, however I would say it is 90% close to being goose.) With that in mind, for $20ish for a 1.75 it is a great value. We call it “Cos-Goose” - compliments of Wendall... - American is $14 and French is $20ish for a 1.75

On another note:
Sam's club American Vodka is still our favorite for bargain Vodka. $14.99 for a 1.75. We call it "Wal-Goose" LOL

No membership/card required to buy liquor at Costco or Sam's Club in Mississippi. Both are in Madison/Ridgeland area.
