Costco's Kirkland Signature brand has become synonymous with quality and value. Savvy shoppers know all sorts of Costco shopping hacks for finding reliable products, from paper towels to protein bars, without breaking the bank (and enjoying a free sample or two). But Costco's magic extends beyond household goods. Their selection of Kirkland Signature liquors has also garnered a cult following, representing premium items spanning various categories and boasting an impressive array of spirits from whiskey to vodka, tequila to gin.

So, which liquor comes out on top? It's a close race, but the Speyside Sherry Finish Single Malt Scotch is the ultimate winner based on shopper reviews. For those who appreciate a more nuanced spirit, this Scotch is aged in Speyside, Scotland, and finished in sherry casks. The Scotch boasts a complex flavor profile with dried fruit and spice. Many love its depth of character, which makes it an excellent choice for sipping neat or enjoying the Scotch whiskey on the rocks. Despite its prestigious age and complex flavor profile, Kirkland's significant selling point might be its price tag, making it an attractive option for budget-minded Scotch drinkers who appreciate a taste of luxury.
