Vodka that gets your goose

While it's widely recognized that Kirkland brand vodkas are not produced by Grey Goose, the essence of these rumors highlights the quality associated with the spirits. Grey Goose is currently regarded as one of the finest vodkas available, and both Kirkland's American vodka and its French variant have excelled in blind taste tests.
Kirkland's vodkas, similar to many of its other products, enjoy a devoted following among Costco shoppers, who frequently commend the spirits for their clean, high-quality flavor. Additionally, the affordability of Kirkland products compared to their name-brand equivalents is a significant advantage. Their competitive pricing adds yet another appeal to Kirkland brand vodkas and products overall. Furthermore, like many offerings at Costco, Kirkland's vodkas are available in bulk sizes, merging quality with quantity to provide customers exceptional value while ensuring they receive a top-notch product.
Something in the vodka

However, this doesn't mean that Costco's Kirkland brand vodkas are without issues. In fact, in 2023, the American version of this beloved product sparked some controversy among Costco shoppers. Users on Reddit voiced their dissatisfaction with the vodka's altered flavor, describing its smell and taste as "terrible." In response to these concerns, Costco decided to remove its Kirkland brand American vodka, which was sold between June 12, 2023, and August 10, 2023, from its shelves. The retailer also provided refunds to customers who had purchased the vodka during that period.
No official explanation for the vodka's change in flavor and aroma was disclosed. Nevertheless, Costco continues to sell its Kirkland brand vodkas, and the flavor and smell issues seem to have been a temporary setback. Fortunately, Kirkland vodkas remain among the brand's most popular offerings, and we are now closer to understanding who to credit for these cult-favorite products.
