The Kirkland Signature 12 year old blended Scotch Whisky is a distinctive marriage of single malt and grain whiskies that have been matured in oak casks for a minimum of 12 years. Notes of caramel, spice and smoky peat prevail on the nose and palate before a long, smooth finish. The ideal whisky to enjoy as a cocktail or on the rocks.
FYI - In comparison the 3 year old blend 1.75L is $107.99
Vodka yep a great drop. I use their American one to mix and the other one on the rocks.
Pretty mediocre and watery as a neat pour but given the price holds up pretty well against the bottom shelf alternatives esp if you plan on mixing anyway.
Isn’t it the Costco brand for all their home brand products?
@PainToad it is :-)
Correct, as Kirkland was where their second HQ was :)
They're also high quality.
is that why there brisket tastes like 98?
Where?
Ethanol is the alcohol we drink and fuel our cars with.
Just more damning evidence that drinking alcohol is (profanity) stupid.
This pairs perfectly with the 40 shot glasses deal … https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/794751
40 x 30ml = 1.2 litres with a spare 50ml for spillage or a cheeky extra shot for the barman!
550ml
That’s quite the cheeky shot.
Could get a set of these as well - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/794731
My mistake!! 1.75 is crazy!! I read that as 1.25!!
No more alcohol for you.
I think it's a very good blended whisky. Very smooth, not very smoky, sweet and good length.
Great buy at this price.
sweet and good length
Pls stay on topic
She says the length doesn't matter, it's how you use it
She tells me something different
Anyone know the price in store?
Following for in store price
120 instore.
Usually $10 less if it's anything like past deals
I just went there (like 1 hour ago) and it was $130 on the shelf.
Anyone know if Costco sell legit alcohol?
87 percent sure
You seriously think a retailer as large as CostCo is going to try selling fake brands?
(And in this instance a knock-off of their own house brand?!)
So Kirkland is to Costco as Anko is to Kmart? Jack of all trades I suppose lol
Yes, Kirkland has always been their home brand. Anko came out of Kmart having products called "… & Co." emphasising their relationship with suppliers I guess, and this became the brand Anko.
Wow can’t believe I never made the connection between & Co and anko
I’m currently in Mexico and this was like $50!
Which is surprising because everything else at Costco was more expensive than Australia, guessing due to poor currency exchange and lower alcohol tax.
It's the alcohol tax, these are so cheap in the US too.
Yep, we get raped every which way with alcohol tax here.
It's also why a lot of whiskies are watered down for our market. The higher the alcohol percentage, the higher the tax.
50 USD ~ 79 AUD
US$35 in the US, so AU$54.88
Is this available in SA (supermarkets can't sell alcohol here) or is there some sort of loophole?
No. Not available
Can anyone compare this to say Johnnie Black? Bells? Aldi's Highland Black?…….Drinking neat, better or worse?? thanks
Blended. Meh
What's wrong with a blend?
Single better
Because?
anyone tried this and there vodka that can vouch?
