Bourbon at Costco: Kirkland, Proof, and the Sticker

Updated March 2026.

There is no official “best Costco bourbon.” The warehouse rotates Kirkland private-label lots and national SKUs by region and week. That is a sticker, not a TTB class. If the bottle is bourbon, it still needs A 1.5-ounce pour is one NIAAA drink at 40% and 1.13 at 45%. We will not invent a 2026 Kirkland mash bill, DSP, or MSRP, read that neck.

Warehouse ≠ class

Keep
Kirkland bourbon Private label; DSP/proof on that lot
National SKUs Same proofs as the brand pages
Under-$X talk Sticker that day
1.5 oz drinks Scale the neck

A 1.75 L 45% handle is about 44 drinks. Four 1.5-ounce pours at 45% are about 4.5 drinks. Pour math: whiskey drinks.
