    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    • @jerensteffen
      @jerensteffen 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

    Skrewball whiskey (peanut butter taste- not Kirkland): a sip a day is like a candy bar on my tongue. I go through 4 bottles a year.
    American vodka: “you can rub this on a wound and then drink some.”😊
    Kirkland Signature Vodka: “ this is what makes it a luxury brand: no screw cap - a fake cork on it.“ 😊
    Kirkland XO cognac: like Skrewball , a sip or two is all I need. Lasts me 6 months.
