Before I get started, I need to admit that I don't drink much tequila anymore, and don't buy most of my own alcohol anymore either (I've trained friends and family to purchase it for Birthdays and Christmas - and share liberally to ensure they get me good stuff) so my pricing may be off a bit.

Kirkland tequila review.

Smooth. Always smooth. Bite from alcohol is all on the back end where it is muted, don't really have to cut it to drink it. All the primary tequila flavors are there, in a nice balance, no particularly strong or extra/unusual flavors. The flavors start at the tip of the tongue, transition rapidly to the back (or only the back if you toss the shot back), not much middle. Solid mouth feel, mild bouquet.

I'd call it a right down the middle with no flair or character. If you are looking for a premium and are willing to experiment I think you could find something with character that you would prefer in the $30+ range /750mL. Below that, I suspect it will be one of the better players. I don't think anything in the <$20/750mL range will touch it. For me, I think it will make BITCHIN margaritas!

O

If you are curious, the bottles that I spent my own money on are the Dalwhinnie scotch, Mastersons rye and Jack Daniels single barrel bourbon (in the black box)

Thanks Owen, great review! I like don julio silver myself, but i dont drink much tequila anymore either, however im all for margaritas :yum: After your review, i think ill give the costco brand a try. Thanks again. :tiphat:

I myself am not a big fan of Grey Goose, so this is good to know. ive been wanting to try this vodka for some time now. As you can see i really dont discriminate against any brands, i just like to try 'em all and then decide on which ill buy regularly :rofl2:

Last weekend, I busted open a bottle of Crown Royal Ive had and made a crown and coke, tasted good. Then I had a gentleman Jack and coke, holy crap, absolutely crapped on the crown and coke. Sitting here now sipping gentleman Jack on the rocks whilst waiting for xbox live to load lol

I like both of these, but mix 'em with ginger ale :yum:

I switched to GJ a year or so ago. Its my go to for the night at home. I go to Four Roses SB and Makes when I have guests... it seems to be what they like.

I haven't tried many and find myself curious when out but too uneducated to know what's worth trying and what's crap in a nice bottle.

Cigars Ill add (2 or 3 a year); Davidoff Grand Gru No. 4 and Zino Zclass 643. Now I'm not a smoker, so don't hate me if they aren't your par.

GuzvaG37 06-08-2015 09:02 PM

Bullet Rye Wiskey is whats on rotation for now
+2 for kirkland vodka! Its rebottled goose

Sly Nic 06-08-2015 09:23 PM

I just found this thread - I happen to be a single malt Scotch (whiskey) person. Bourbon is OK but give me a real Scotch, laddie. And lots of them.

I do not appreciate blends - try as I might, nothing cuts it like single malt. If I can't afford it, I don't drink. <-----Scotch snob.

But only when I am home and not driving - just saying.

You want one? They come in 1 liter, 2 liter, and 3 liter sizes. All are charcoaled inside. You can get them laser engraved with anything you want. You have to e-mail or call them. Branson - Stone Hill Winery

It takes about 3~4 days to get it ready to use.

6spd 06-26-2015 07:10 AM

Thats boss! Gotta show my wife, I'd love to have one. Do you get it empty and then fill it with whatever you want or did it come with the wine inside?

Yea, it comes empty. To use it. You have to fill it with water and let it soak for a couple of days. Best to do this in a sink. This lets the wood swell and seal it. Then you have to wash it out with baking soda. Then rinse until the water comes out clean. Once clean. You can put in wine or whiskey to age. 3 yrs is the max you can keep it in there.

6spd 06-26-2015 08:22 AM

That sounds glorious! Thank you sir.

About to pour a afternoon glass of Balvenie 12y Doublewood... I had a long day. I'm curious of the Caribbean Cask. Have any of you gentlemen tried it or recommend it?

yup. had all the Balvenies. The CC, to me, isn't anything special. I think the 17 Yr. Madeira Cask is outstanding. Just have to try it.

I like Bulliet Bourbon and Blantons for a good single barrel

jwick 06-12-2016 11:16 PM

Mmmmmm...Blanton's:tup:

Not whiskey homie

Wheels3309 06-13-2016 12:26 PM

Hmmmm... somehow, I've JUST discovered this thread. :hello:

While I didn't read through every post, it seems that I may somewhat be in the minority as I am strictly a Bourbon guy. (I really don't care for 95% of the scotch I've tried, and I've tried a lot of 'em :tiphat:)

I've got a pretty decent collection going...

Special Occasions/Sharing:

Weller 12 yr & 107
VanWinkle 10
Orphan Barrel Gifted Horse & Barterhouse
I W Harper 15 & 5 yr
Old Charter 13
Jeffersons Ocean 2nd voyage & Chef’s Collaboration
Russell’s Reserve 10 yr
Blanton’s
Bulleit 10
Elijah Craig 12 - Barrel proof
Colonel EH Taylor Small Batch
Noah’s Mill
Willet Pot Still
Blade & Bow
Old Forester 1870
Smooth Ambler Old Scout 10


Daily drinkers on constant rotation:

Eagle Rare 10
Elijah Craig 12
Buffalo Trace
Four Roses Small Batch
Knob Creek
Bulleit

Lately, I've really gotten back into the Buffalo Trace... very easy to drink neat and quite affordable... usually switching between that and the Eagle Rare 10... a damn bargain at $35 a bottle IMO.

jwick 06-13-2016 12:49 PM

You aren't in the minority. The majority of my whiskey intake is the bourbon variety.

You've got a pretty good list. If you make it to Texas, stop in a Specs and buy 1835. Best affordable bourbon on the market in my opinion. About $23 a fifth.

Spstone 06-15-2016 06:04 AM

If you can find it try "Lead Slinger" for a $30 bottle of bourbon it's pretty smooth, and the proceeds go to a good cause.

ChiefPat 06-22-2016 07:41 PM

Just finished a bottle of Bulliet 10 yr, it was pretty good. I like all the Bulliet whiskeys.

Just started on a bottle of Basil Hayden, the store was out of Blanton's and Buffalo Trace.

A.D. Laws bourbons and rye are quite excellent but a bit pricey.

Spstone 06-23-2016 08:53 PM

Just cracked a bottle of Basil Haydens myself last week. It goes great with my cigars and isn't to badly priced.

Ive always been a beer drinker, but the past couple months Ive been getting more into whiskys. Ive only tried the Glenlivet 12 and the Glenfiddich 12 so far. Glenlivet was so much better in my opinion. For the money Ive heard Macallan's are the best but I havent found myself shelling out the extra money for it. Next I wanna try some good blended whisky. Always find myself looking at the Johnnie Walker blue, but then I come back to reality with all my bills lol

JD Tenneesee Fire straight
TJ Bold n Spicky with Svedka for weekend mornings (that I'm not headed to Cars n Coffee)

Jack Daniels Is The Best Selling Whiskey Year After Year - So I'm Guessing It's Pretty Good - Don't You Think :confused:

Actually I Fell In Love With Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey Whiskey :stirthepot:

Why Do You Type Like This? Doesn't It Take Much Longer?

Obviously I don't think that, as you can see by the post of mine from four ******* years ago that says exactly that. If you only have $20 to buy a bottle of whiskey, buy Weller's, not Jack.

Sales numbers don't determine quality. McDonalds probably sells the most hamburgers in the world, and it's barely considered food. Bud Light is the best selling beer in America and it's piss.
