Went a little nutty at Costco yesterday. Especially on the Kirkland private label stuff. Not pictured is the Cognac XO which I am a little disappointed with but it’s still pretty good.

I'm a fan of the Kirkland Chateauneuf-du-Pape red blend. I'm generally a fan of the Rhone wines, but that particular appellation is special for sure. And the stuff Kirkland bottles is definitely above average at a pretty good price point! Generally the Kirkland labeled alcohol products are worth the price for sure! Great haul.

Great to hear! I was plenty excited to see they had a Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Hoping I like most of the Kirkland stuff. The value is bonkers. I will return and report.

I don’t know who makes it but my guess is you could find out with a little digging. All it says on the label is bottled by Alexander Murray. Nothing about the distilleries involved unfortunately. They have several Scotches but heard this one was very good and the price was irresistible.

I've had it and its a good scotch. An especially good value for what it is. But it has just a bit too much peat for me. I definitely enjoy it, but there are other Scotches that I'd rather drink. For the money - it's well worth it.

But let's just say if I stopped by - what you have in that collection would very much be worth stopping to visit! The Extra Anejo Tequila, Rum, Mc Kenna's 10 and the Angels Envy are all great choices - with great pricing. I've not tried the Vintage Ale or Tawny Port - but knowing Costco, they are very good representatives of what they are. And the Cooper and Thief Pinot is a very nice, reasonably priced Pinot - you should not be disappointed.
