    In CA I’ve been able to buy Tequila Ocho Blanco, El Tesoro Blanco, Mijenta Repo. I’ve even seen El Tequileño available. I got lucky this week and was able to pick up a El Tesoro 85th Anniversary at my local Costco.

    Agree - The blanco and reposado Kirkland tequila has additives according to my tastebuds. The blanco/silver is good for making mass margaritas, palomas, etc. for a party but not for real tequila aficionados. HOWEVER, their whiskey and bourbon is good and comes from quality producers in the industry.

    • @SirBrass
      @SirBrass 7 месяцев назад +1

      Their anjeo is also LOADED with additives as it tastes like cotton candy flavored ethanol. Yuck.

    Our costco in vegas has wayyyy more liquor. But i attribute that to me just living in las vegas. We have cazadores, 1800, patron, don julio, clase azul, a lot of the mainstream brands just marked down from most liquor stores prices

  • @markwalsh2709
    @markwalsh2709 Год назад +2

    my costco has Tequila Ocho, Mijenta, codigo, el tesoro, and cycles through similar ones every now and then. it goes downhill from there. They always have Patron, Herradura (which I sort of like), and Don Julio

    Thanks for the review. Costco is famous for their kirkland vodka. I've never tried their kirkland whiskey, tequila, irish cream, etc.

    • @2011blueman
      @2011blueman 8 месяцев назад

      The Kirkland french vodka is the standout. It's both cheap and very high quality. Pretty much all the other kirkland liquors aren't both cheap and high quality.

  • @dave1986R
    @dave1986R Год назад +5

    Maybe in Massachusetts the Costco tequila selection is limited at best, but in California it’s actually quite diverse. I’ve seen Don Julio (not 1942), Patrón, and they’re even starting to stock Mezcal. I even saw Ojo de Tigre there once. I’ve never bought alcohol there before because at most Costco locations in Southern California require a one-time-only pass to buy at the membership stands. It’s just not worth it.

  • @haroldzamora3596

  • @racielzuniga5

    When I bartend events I only recommend the Kirkland tequila as a low cost option but specifically suggest they use it only for mixed drinks.

  • @ronherman6033
    @ronherman6033 11 месяцев назад

    I only buy their Anejo version for mixed drinks. For sipping I get other brands... Their bourbon lately has been 1792 Distillery and their Speyside Scotch 23year is exceptional. Just got to watch and pick as they change up the distillers and unless you track label info hard to notice.

  • @ledgm108
    @ledgm108 Год назад +9

    Definitely have a better selection at my local store in Los Angeles, guess their stock varies from location a lot. I was able to get Mijenta Reposado and the El Tesoro Blanco at mine

    • @lopezc02
      @lopezc02 Год назад +1

      Kudos to Ocho, Mijenta, and El Tesoro. Real tequilas.

    • @ledgm108
      @ledgm108 Год назад +1

      Haven’t tried Ocho or the Mijenta, only one I’ve tasted yet was El Tesoro, pretty good. I also bought this Kirkland reposado, finally opened it up last night and not the best quality by any means. But if your looking to use a cheaper option for mixed drinks still prefer this over Sauza or Jose Cuervo.

  • @ouifh4o2ir37
    @ouifh4o2ir37 Год назад +1

    I think the 1.75l kirkland blanco is their best house brand tequila (available in Colorado). I agree with your view on the reposado.

  • @Godfatherjrt
    @Godfatherjrt Год назад +8

    NEVER stop telling the truth, Lui my man! It kinda saddens me that, THAT was the most requested tequila in the comments overall. People really just wanna be cheap and buy cheap. But when things like Arette, Cimarron, Tres Agaves, Suerte, Insoilto and Altos exist...I will never truly understand their logic.👌

    • @splitliving
      @splitliving 10 месяцев назад +1

      Because we’re uneducated. Please always give us the benefit of the doubt! We started out with Jose Cuervo, got terrible hangovers, and swore off tequila forever! Now, we are tempted and intrigued by the big focus on “tequila”. Keep banging away at us, we will learn, albeit slowly and carefully.

  • @grandpa203

  • @iamjeffcarter
    @iamjeffcarter Год назад

    My Costco will sometimes have El Tessoro, Herradura, Suerte, all the don Julio’s including the 1942. All the Patrons. I will occasionally grab the 42. They usually have it for about 140. And I have a dozen other bottles I would rather have for less something still brings me back to it. I just like it.

  • @stephensweeny1124
    @stephensweeny1124 Год назад

  • @JermaineAuNatural
    @JermaineAuNatural Год назад

    I have never tried the repo but the blanco……😖I have a circle of friends that always buys it but they aren’t really tequila drinkers. After having it once I woke up with a headache. Thought maybe it was a lack of sleep. Had it a second time with them and was like never again! It gives me a terrible headache again that no real tequila gives me. You definitely get what you pay for in the bad way. Excellent Excellent review! Thank you!

    As stated above, the fact you don't do blinds for your tastings definitely has you tasting labels vs the drink itself. Also, the fact you aren't using the Glen properly really has me questioning your opinion. It's a nosing glass, why the heck are you pouring it above the bowl of that Glen... 1-2oz max! You're pouring 4-6oz in that thing!

  • @2011blueman

    The Anejo is the only Kirkland tequila that is sippable straight up. The Blanco and Reposado Kirkland tequilas are well liquor meant for mixed drinks.

  • @BasicBeachCommunity1
    @BasicBeachCommunity1 Год назад

    Thanks for your honesty honestly I see some good stuff with their brand but in general I try to get the stuff that's that's made by a different distributor like in a coffee beans I don't usually love their Kirkland coffee. But there are some other beans that are really good.

    My Costco in the Los Angeles area has a much greater selection of tequila’s. They always have Kirkland of course and Casamigos. Other brands come and go. I was happy to find El Tesoro anejo there several months ago for $55. Haven’t seen it since. Haven’t tried the Kirkland Reposado and don’t think I will now.

    • @schmup53

  • @The_MAXXX
    @The_MAXXX День назад

    Kirkland ones are best for regular mixed drinks etc not for sipping as you do. Good quality/No Additives are the only ones that you could sip if that’s what’s you’re going for

  • @davidross9240
    @davidross9240 Год назад

    Yep. I agree with your assessment. I was hopeful that this would be a decent low-cost tequila, but I was quite disappointed from the very first sip. I know that everyone has their own ideas about what they like in a tequila, but this one just missed the mark for me.

    I live in California and once asked my local COSCO location if you need to be a member of COSTCO to buy alcohol. I was told no, but if enter the store they check for your COSTCO card. If you don't have one and want to buy alcohol, I've been told that you will be escorted over the the isles with the alcohol and escorted to the check out counter.

  • @fretless05
    @fretless05 11 месяцев назад

    Costco is an everything-in-one-place store, so it's safe to assume that they won't have a lot of anything. That said, the Costco by my house has the basics that you found as well as some more options in a locked case; maybe that's where the good stuff is. What can you say? Sometimes you get what you pay for.

    Will you sell the rest of the bottle to your restaurant customers? Maybe you could sell it as a "restaurant rarity" and charge quadruple for it 🤣 Just kidding. To me it's funny seeing liqor sold in grocery stores as overe here (Finland (and Sweden, Norway...)) the sale of booze is government controlled and can only be bought in specific alcohol shops (or 40% cheaper ordering online from Germany...). In grocery stores we only have beers, ciders etc. Nice video though! I liked you being open minded before tasting. Of course everyone has some thoughts/expectations beforehand, but one doesn't have to let them rule the tasting itself. Well done!

    One of the worst tequilas I've ever had was Kirkland "silver", about 10 years ago maybe. It smelled and tasted almost exactly like a latex glove soaked in rubbing alcohol - rubbery, medicinal, acetone, ethynol... a disgusting mess. I couldn't even get through the bottle before turning it into drain cleaner. I haven't bought a bottle of Kirkland liqour since. Sometimes, the price really is too good to be true.
