Who doesn’t love a nice glass of whiskey on (or off) the rocks? Apparently the New York Post’s Op-Ed Editor, Seth Mandel, is no stranger to the finer things in life…that also come in bulk.
I am not much of a scotch drinker (prefer bourbon because I am a real American) so I have no shame in saying: the Costco Kirkland scotch is perfectly fine.

Wasn’t even aware of Kirkland’s having their own scotch. Good to know.
Their grape vodka is great with some grape koolaid mix and some grape cough medicine. I say this with no irony

Grape. Grape. Grape.
Too much grape for me. I swore off all non-citrus flavored vodkas in college when I made the mistake of trying Absolut Vanilla

Sounds like a lethal combination. Or something white girls who love pumpkin spice lattes and uggs would drink.
I’m guessing they don’t have a BevMo anywhere near you

*shakes crystal ball*
Guess not.
what is that I don't speak French
— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) January 14, 2018
HAHA.
It’s actually Californian… so same thing really.
It’s a fantastic liquor store tho
— Mujahed Kobbe (@Moj_kobe) January 14, 2018
Californians and the French have the same attitude.
Yeah we don't have that because California isn't socialist enough for NJ
— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) January 14, 2018
That’s quite the challenge there.
Yet…
— Mujahed Kobbe (@Moj_kobe) January 14, 2018
Probably in the works.
To make things even funnier…there was also a debate about what KIND of scotch Kirkland has.
That’s probably because it’s actually Alexander Murray scotch with a Costco label on it.
— Spencer Hodnett (@SpencerHodnett) January 14, 2018
Oh?
Nope. Their 12 year single malt is MacCallen.
— CJS (@CarySiegel) January 14, 2018
So there’s more than one brand? Noted.
Not what I'm drinking. It's a blend and it's Alexander Murray.
— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) January 14, 2018
Sounds fancy.
Ahhhh never had the pleasure of that Kirkland alchemy
— CJS (@CarySiegel) January 14, 2018
Sounds like quite the concoction.
Yes! Like Kirkland Gin! pic.twitter.com/udSOOsslKe

Someone seems to be down with the Costco liquor.
Actually their Bourbon isn't shabby either
— JewishConnectivity (@JewishConnectiv) January 14, 2018
Scotch AND Bourbon?! Double whammy.
Kirkland vodka is very good.
— jon call (@j_b_c_1982) January 14, 2018
And there’s a third one.
It’s Grey Goose
— CJS (@CarySiegel) January 14, 2018
Top shelf liquor for cheap ass pricing? WINNING.
Most of the costco booze is palatable.

Now ya’ll just sound like a bunch of alcoholics.
Good to know. I shall add that to my paper towel and toilet paper shopping list, though it will look odd to the un-initiated:
Costco shopping list:
1. Kirkland brand toilet paper
2. Kirkland brand paper towels
3. Kirkland brand single malt scotch— Don Kadon (@nonnamedperson) January 14, 2018
Stop up on the three MUST HAVE items while you’re there. At least if you lose power you’re set with TP and booze. Wouldn’t want to be caught dead without either one of them.
The List.
New entry.
— HerrShitHolz (@HerrMorgenholz) January 14, 2018
Add it. RIGHT NOW.
You don't need a membership to buy alcohol at Costco either… #TheMoreYouKnow
— BODYSHOTS (@3POINTGROTTO) January 14, 2018
Say whaaattt?!
I always associate those who drink scotch with wife beaters/criminals, but I think it's just from too many movies
— Michael (@Michael2014abc) January 14, 2018
Well, that escalated quickly.
(Guys you understand there's no "Kirkland distillery," right?)
— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) January 14, 2018
At least he clarified so people know it’s other brands’ product with a Kirkland’s label slapped on it.
