Kirkland Spiced

Is it a bottle of dosed, artificial flavors - yes. Did you know that going in - I hope so. It is cloyingly sweet with fruity notes of banana and undertones of vanilla. If you want to improve it at all, it is best to add ginger and cinnamon sticks in the bottle and give it some time.

At the end of the day, I prefer it to Captain Morgan and it's a higher proof. So it's perfect for easy sipping, cheap frozen daiquiris and painkillers. If you are a rum person it will last a year or two and do what you got it for.

At 92 proof and a strong vanilla flavor it is a great rum for under $15 at over 1.75L.

If it's true rum makes life more bearable... this rum makes life Divine.
Absolutely superior rum! I can not rate this spiced rum high enough! However I'm serious, unless you first taste it in a blind taste test... You won't give it an honest chance. Yet if you did encounter this rum, in a truly blind taste test, you'd definitely rate it the best spiced rum you've ever had! The price is so incredibly low, it can confuse your senses. Which makes available this top grade rum for anytime and all the time. When I've actually run blind taste test samplings, no matter what fine and top shelf rum labels it's put up against, unanimously it's chosen everytime as the winner. Yet once people find out it's a Costco generic label, they try to retract their previously honest vote. Don't be fooled by your snobby ego... There's just no competition.
Perfect for sipping straight and mixes into endless concoctions. This is my stand by in every mixed drink recipe, even subbed for any other hard alcohol in every recipe. Strong vanilla, perfectly subtle spice and a balanced sweetness, make this the most delicious and superior rum.
This generic label rum is the only reason I shop at Costco. I've had a full blown tantrum in store when they were out of stock. Other patrons were telling me there's Trader Joe's and Bev Mo nearby that definitely stock rum. To which I replied mid rant, I had plenty of rum stocked in my liquor cabinet... But I none compared and I needed my Kirkland spiced rum! Which caused great confusion in those trying to calm me down, who'd mistook a die hard enthusiast as an impatient alcoholic.
Yet it's true, no matter what other rums are available, I must have this one instead! Nothing compares even at any price. And kudos for the best quality rum also being the lowest cost of anything taking up valuable space in my liquor cabinet.
Occasionally it goes on sale... And then I really stock up. I've served this to all my guests for years on end, enough that I've almost saved up enough bottles to one day create a mud room out of. They'd make for beautiful glass inlaid walls, which I'll someday build myself.

I just can't rate this rum high enough!

Tastes like a super cheap rum..It smells like cough syrup and I'm not sure how people are giving it anything north of 2 on this scale...Its inexpensive for a good reason.

I’m curious how they call this spiced rum. I’m usually pretty positive on this site with my ratings, but this was just bad. It made Captain taste good(strictly comparatively speaking). All I got was bubblegum. Not even any spice. Imagine finding an off-brand candle that was intended to be “bubblegum” scented and that’s what the aroma smelled like. And then it tastes exactly the same, so it’s got that going for it. I couldn’t even finish the little pour I did of it and didn’t want to ruin a can of coke so I just poured it all into my 3 liter barrel and I’ll see if some actual time on oak can help it…..but I’m not holding out any hope.

I’ve traveled the Caribbean many times trying their rum and this Kirkland rum isn’t far off. I liked it, it was smooth with lots of flavor. New rum to collect.

This is actually a better tasting rum then even Captain Morgan, the bold clove/birchwood taste makes this a great spiced rum if chilled and stored in a freezer a great choice for rum and coke and many other spiced rum drinks, and a perfect rum for vanilla extraction.

Weirdly smoky. I was only trying to use it as a mixer, but it ruined the drink. I gave it away. The new Kirkland 15 year from Panama is good though.

Why did I get it? Cause I didn't know better. What the heck do I mix it with?

I love it! I am certainly not a rum guru like some on here but I love it. Doesn't burn like others.
