What Costco (Kirkland’s) liquors are actually good? I hear their vodka is good—still need to try it. Any others?

Their Irish cream is really good. Get the higher end Kirkland vodka.

I hear the scotch is pretty good but the bourbon not so much.

Scotch is like an 18 year

I've had their scotch, vodka ad whiskey and all of those were great. Especially for the cost!

I don't have any issue with the base line vodka, but I mix it usually with cranberry juice or I make my own Bloody Mary mix for it. It also works good as a Screwdriver.

Their Silver Tequila is also a decent liquor and I use it for Margaritas and will do shots with it. The gin also works well and it my summertime cocktail of choice with some Sprite and a squeeze of lemon or muddle some mint leaves and make a Mojita.

I don't drink any of the "brown" liquors and stick with vodka, tequila, rum and gin.

My husband did not care for the bourbon and I don't like the spiced rum as much as other ones.

The French Vodka, Silver Tequila and Bailey's copycat are excellent. The Gin is good for mixing.

I have liked it all, I try something different every time I empty a bottle. Next will be the Baileys version. Their Canadian whisky and vodka is a hot item in this house. I also want to try the Irish whiskey next.

We like the gin. 17 bucks for a handle. It's fine for mixing cocktails.

Their crown knockoff whiskey tastes okay, but was horrible the next morning on me each time. I'm talking 2 singles and the next morning i'd have cottonmouth and small headache as if I drank all night. Drank about half the bottle then bought something else lol. Still got the bottle with about half left

Is the gin a knockoff of another brand of gin? I guess we don't have Costco liquors in Tennessee. The Costco I go to in Memphis used to have a liquor store adjacent to it that you had to be a Costco member to shop, but they just sold handles of liquor no actual Costco (or Kirkland) liquors

This seems to be a good general rule of thumb with knockoff liquors.

Vodka is good. Tequila is good. We're talking about cocktail good, not one or two ice cubes good.

Their red wines are decent and if you ever see their Cotes de Provence Rose then buy a case. It's a steal.

I have gone through many large bottles of Tequila. Oh and the margarita mix is legit too.

I know someone who prefers it to the more expensive brands, but I am trashy.

The K-Sig champagne deserves consideration

There was a thread on here a while back about how they buy grapes from good wineries to make their wines

It's tough to beat their golden margarita at $7 a bottle.

Is the French Vodka that much better than the Kirkland's Vodka. Because it's pretty good for $12.99 for 1.75 liters.

The scotch and the Irish whiskey are both on point. The 20 year speyside single malt that they have this year is decent but nothing like the 21 year that they had a few years back. The American Vodka is excellent and has beaten out many of it's name branded competitors in blind taste tests. The spiced rum is not very good at all. Way over spiced and the balance seems a bit off. I haven't tried it in a couple of years though so it may be better these days. The bourbon is a nightmare in a bottle. The Irish Cream is legit.

Reason number 17394628272 why TABC sucks donkey dick is that we can't buy Kirkland brand in Texas. It makes zero sense.
