As a winemaker that would be torture. Half of them are awful. And the way costco railroads the wineries producing it to basically produce it at cost is another reason I hate them they literally tried to get the winery i worked for several years ago to produce a wine for them we said no because it was too much financial investment for basically no return we take all the risk.

I love how you break things down and explain it to those less knowledgeable, such as myself. Thank you.
I'm a flavor chemist and I can assure you all that everything Kirkland brand is on the same par as any premium brand. Costco has the best buying team on planet earth.
I will watch every Andre video and some multiple times. He drops so much knowledge in an easily digestible way that I learn so much and so efficiently via any video he is presenting. Keep them coming!
Episode idea: "costco versus" Have Andre blind taste a handful of popular liquors or wines or whatever verse the Kirkland Signature equivalent. He can dissect them, try and guess which is which, and rank them!
@realtalk6195 that's literally what I suggested though, just with "costco versus" as the name lol Kirkland would be the only brand that spans across every liquor type and the only common brand in each round, so it only makes sense
I am actually amazed that Andre seemingly shot like 3-5 of these episodes back to back based on his outfit. Dude is just pounding all of these spirits neat and somehow is able to coherently and succinctly explain everything about each individual product so well. I am impressed.
The 1.75L 12yr Kirkland whiskey is goat, it was my daily sipper for quite some time. Extremely smooth and one of the few "cheap" whiskies that I can enjoy drinking neat.
I was just at the Costco in Milford, CT and asked about the bourbon- was told to check back this summer, as it may be back in stock🤷🏽♀️🤞🏽 My husband and I used it for Manhattans- it was pretty smooth!
OHOHO! Great way to answer all those comments about costco. When you do their wine series make sure you try their Tawny Port because it's quite a treat.
I like how he says “it’s not really true” when talking about the idea that vodka is supposed to be odorless and tasteless, but immediately after tasting it he goes “it’s vodka. Odorless, tasteless.”
Worth noting, Bourbon Barrell casked DOES NOT mean it uses the same barrels as bourbon. It means it was casked in used bourbon barrels. Most use American oak for fresh barrels, though any oak is allowed . So if a product uses the same barrels as bourbon, it would be oak casked. Bourbon Barrel casked is specific to used barrels.
Thanks for the clean and remarkably articulate reviews. Descriptions were efficient while still descriptive and great personal notes on each. Great job.
Thanks Andre, to hear a sommelier try and comment on Kirkland products in such detail really helps me see where the value is and yes I've been loving the XO cognac for years.
Wow! Great condensed review of lots of Costco spirits I've been eyeing but wasn't sure about. This guy did an EXCELLENT job of dissecting and teaching us about what the liqours differences are.
This was a fun one. I recently got the Kirkland añejo and really did not care for it, so it's interesting that André didn't either. I just prefer blancos in general, though. Always love André's videos.
One thing worth mentioning, why Costco can sell these liquors at such low prices, is because they spend zero money marketing them. Surely for Grey Goose or Johnnie Walker, 50% of the cost the consumer pays is just to support the marketing budget. Costco's French vodka does not pay for any glossy magazine ads, doesn't sponsor any sporting events or concerts, doesn't do any bar promotions, etc. They have no name brand to protect and promote. They give this savings to their members.
Spiced rum isn't a traditional category of rum at all, it's a modern anachronism (Captain Morgan is arguably the first example, and definitely the first popular one). Most spiced rum, like Captain Morgan, is not flavoured in a noticeable way with baking spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice, but rather mostly with vanilla (or vanillin), making them the rum equivalent of vanilla vodka.
This was a fantastic and very helpful video. Been watching your videos for a while but haven't commented. But after watching this one I needed to tell you that you're videos are great and Thanks!
Very bright and peppery...the commentary. Makes me want to get Costco membership say around mid-November, just as the weather socks in and memories of summer light up the night. Thanks.
The taxes on spirits in Canada are really significant. Maybe a bit nanny state, but it’s a bit disturbing how cheap really bad spirits are in a lot of states with no floor price. It’s basically just for broke teenagers and alcoholics. I saw a handle of gin for 8 bucks in New Hampshire. It was yellow. 😬
This isn't close to "every" Costco liquor - just every one you could get in New York. Costco sells multiple special vintage Scotch (I have a 17-year sherry finished Speyside, for example), and the Irish cream is regional - the eastern US gets the Irish Cream that's a Bailey's competitor, whereas here in Seattle we get Irish "Country" cream, which is wine-based.
His argument of Costco running off of a "grocery store model" isn't really accurate. While it's a factor, the bigger factor is that Costco makes the bulk of their profit off of the membership fee to shop there. This lets them cut the markup way down on items they sell. Using the Kirkland brand helps cut cost down even more since they don't spend on things like advertising or distribution to non-Costco liquor stores
They don’t make most of their profit on membership. They sell everything but the hot dogs and rotisserie chicken at a 15% markup and profit on volume. At least that’s what their internal audit department said when I met with them.
@@bigdndenergykeep in mind that they still need to pay for the warehouse and employees. And Costco actually treats their employees decent. Yet their markup is MUCH LESS than most retail outlets.
Because of local laws, you don’t need a Costco membership to buy liquor in the following states, just walk in and tell them you’re only buying liquor: •Arizona • California • Colorado • Connecticut • Delaware • Hawaii • Indiana • Kentucky • Massachusetts • Michigan • Minnesota •New York • Texas • Vermont EDIT: There's a lot more states according to the replies !
Costco doesn't sell liquor at its Texas locations. Beer and wine only. If there is a liquor selection, it's at an unaffiliated liquor store that rents space, which means no Kirkland Select spirits.
So the great state of Texas has stupid liquor laws and Costco can’t sell Kirkland brands. The best cheap scotch I’ve found is dewars 12, 15 or smooth varieties. The Japanese smooth is my favorite of that line.
Great video. Very informative and you seem to know what you're talking about which is very cool. Keep making these videos it does help people in knowing what the spirits are all about etc. Again great job and great video.
Was digging everything up until the anejo tequila, I feel like you show up to anejo specifically for those bourbony flavors that casks give. I would not call that something done for the American palette and to call it not real tequila seems like doing the whole style of anejo a disservice.
A lot of anejo tequilas have sugar added to them. I believe this is what he was referring to, not the necessarily the aging process itself. But it is true that tequila sommeliers generally won't touch aged tequila.
Loved this video review. I always purchased some of Kirklands liquor especially the Speyside Single Whiskey which they don't sell anymore. Any reason why they stopped?
I use kirkland products for the base spirits in a lot of my cocktails, the Cognac XO gets a lot of use in new orleans style cocktails, normally I would grab a VS or VSOP Cognac for that, but the Kirkland XO comes in at the same or better price than those. It doesn't compete against the much more expensive Cognacs, but it creams everything else at a similar price point. The French Vodka seriously tastes like Grey Goose - I decant it into a grey goose bottle anyway to make pouring easier 😆
Great vid! FYI For those looking to avoid additives in tequila, 100% agave doesn’t mean anything. Costco does have additives. They can legally put up to 1% of 4 different additives and still legally say it’s “100% agave”. No hate though, if someone gave me a glass of any Kirkland tequilas, I would dip it 100% - pun intended
This is one of the better brand round-up videos I've seen. Entertaining and very informative. I'll definitely be buying a couple of these based on the recommendation. Plus, I know what to avoid.
I love Irish cream liquor, but the truth is, you can combine almost any dairy product with almost any hard liquor and almost anything sweet and come up with something pretty close.
Would absolutely love to see André do a blind taste off between the Kirklands and comparable name-brand spirits.
That’s literally what this vid should’ve been.
I was going to say "wouldn't matter he could tell..." But then I stopped myself thinking "Well, that's what the pretentious A-holes said in France in 1976..." But I would still give him the over 50% odds on...
@@Sawbuck I think he'd do better than 50/50, but:
1. The fact it's close is telling.
2. The ones he hit vs. missed would be interesting.
Yes we need that.
I'd love to see a blind tasting as well. Have one somelier pick low, medium, and high quality versions of each spirit, plus a kirkland version, and see how another somelier (or better yet a panel) rank them WITHOUT knowing that one is Kirkland.
Love these ones with André. He seems like such a nice guy and explains everything so simple and understandable.
Some of the only decent content BA puts out these days. Gone are the golden days of the BA test kitchen
He clearly doesn't know anything about whiskey though
I met him before in NYC, he's as nice and genuine as he seems on video. Great guy.
@@reubenhandel210why do you say that

Yep me too. I pretty much autoclick when I see a new one of his
Andre spent 20 minutes raw dogging cheap spirits, no ice or mixes. I commend his dedication

Cheap yes, but definitely not low quality. I've had several of these and they're all pretty freakin decent for the price point
It's called neat. Have some class.
@@tgbeam for sure, they're all quite solid for the price. Even at double the price point, in a fancier bottle, 99% of people wouldn't bat an eye.

Experienced? That is not the term you're looking for, is it?
The Kirkland Spiced Rum is a pleasant surprise. I serve it as an after dinner drink and watch people’s surprise reactions. It’s delicious sipped.
I like to mix it with ginger ale or coke!
My local costco has been out of Spiced Rum for two months, I hope they haven't discontinued it. I forgot to ask on the way out.
lol it's all just a soup of chemicals blended into sugar alcohol, that's why it's so cheap.
