Mr. Silly Posted March 6, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 6, 2020 Has anyone here tried Kirkland Bourbon from Costco? It's like $15 for ½ gallon. I usually keep two types of bourbon in the house, one for sipping straight. I am willing to spend money for that one. I also like to have one to mix with ginger ale or sprite. I go budget with the mixin' whiskey. Most recently I tried Canadian Mist ($19 for ½ gallon) and I couldn't cut it enough. I am thinking of trying the Costco whiskey. Is it good enough to mix with soda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted March 6, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 6, 2020 The first Costco was out of Kirkland, WA. They use their name on all sorts of things from big brand manufacturers. I have not tried it but I'll bet you it's some decent stuff. Almost all Kirkland brand stuff is good -- because they just slap their brand on the manufacturer's product.

Dottleshead ★ Posted March 6, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 6, 2020 Yep. It's made by Jim Beam. https://therewillbebourbon.net/post/57541847813/kirkland-signature-premium-small-batch-bourbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted March 6, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 6, 2020 https://louisvillefuture.com/archived-news/costcos-private-label-bourbon-wait-say-costco/ This says there are only 10 Bourbon distillers in the US and that all the Bourbon comes from them and that some of the Costco Bourbon is from Buffalo Trace.

They may buy whereever they can get it and private label it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of those say things like "plans to produce" so maybe licensed but not in production. And that list was from 2016 This says there are now 20 working distilleries making Bourbon in Kentucky https://www.bourboncountry.com/distillery-tours/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much. It sounds like it will go well with ginger ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
