Anyone else tried this? I got a bottle yesterday and tried some last night. Its not bad at all. $19.99 for a liter. 103 proof. Made for Costco by Jim Beam. Tastes like a stronger Knob Creek.

Yes I have, in fact I posted about it a couple months ago. In short, for $20 it's hard to beat and to me is almost a dead copy of Knob Creek. I still like Bookers for fairly reasonably priced Bourbon but the Kirkland stuff is cheap while being good enough for guests.

Heard of it, seen it, priced it...didn't buy it. I wasn't sure just what it tasted like, and chose not to gamble. Thanks for the report.
$20/L and tastes kinda like Knob Creek? Hmmmm.... Steve |

Kirkland liquors are great.
Their vodka is Grey Goose relabled with the Kirkland logo. You wouldn't know it unless you tried it side by side for yourself. |

Steve Really, it's worth the $20 and then some. I had read some reviews on bourbon forums that wasn't great but I'm not a Bourbon snob so I rarely justify $50 on Basil or other highend examples. Kirkland's stuff is clean and good enough to drink it neat or with a little ice, to me that's the mark of a decent Bourbon. Not to beat a dead horse but Knob was the minimum for that style o enjoyment, I have to mix Jack, Beam and Makers. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

i dont think it tastes anything like Knob Creek. I really like KC for a daily sipper and the Kirkland one was hard to get down. I finished the bottle as quickly as possible and really wish the local Costcos would bring back the 1.75 bottle of Knob Creek. It was only like $41.99 or something.
I really like a strong whiskey and love Bookers and my SO just gifted me a bottle of MaChallan Cask Strength which is right up my alley. But this Kirkland stuff I just couldnt pallet. However by the end of the bottle i didnt dislike it as much. Either I got used to it or the bottle just needed to breath for some time. |

Last time I tried they wanted me to buy a case worth. It's to bad that the legislature completely fucked up the privatization plan. |

Not to beat a dead horse but Knob was the minimum for that style o enjoyment, I have to mix Jack, Beam and Makers. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile This is good to know. A Knob Creek 750ml bottle used to be $20 only 2 years ago, now they are about $27 or so. $20 for a whole liter is a very good deal if the taste profile is similar. I like most of the JB Small Batch stuff, but it is usually out of my price range. $20-25 is what I am usually willing to spend, provided I have some idea of the taste. Currently I buy: Old Weller Antique 107 for about $20-$22 per 750 ml bottle. George Dickel #12 at about $17 per 750ml bottle. Gentleman Jack gift packs with glasses for $21-$23 per 750ml bottle, when in season (Xmas or Father's Day). Steve |
