Kirkland Spiced

I mean, it’s $15 for 1.5 It’s not the worst spiced rum but it taste like synthetic flavors. It also seems to hate your physical body and brain because if you indulge too much it feels like your head was stomped on. That being said, it makes a mean rum punch

So, bought a big old bottle of this stuff for $15 at Costco on a whim. First bottle was fantastic, like $40-$50 fantastic. After downing said bottle in about a week, and I’m not much of a drinker, I went back to Costco to grab another. Second bottle, meh. Still drinkable straight but something was missing. It seemed harsher and needed more breathing room to get rid of a jet fuel-like burn straight from the bottle. Ultimately, will still buy because $15!!! But I sense I’ll be “chasing the dragon”.

Not a quality rum by any means but it is a great rum for mixing all the way.

This is a sailor jerry tasting rum - a great mixer, not a sipper. It’s a value buy for large groups of people or parties. Boasts a smooth finish mixed with cola and the quantities satisfies the masses for the price.

Smells like bad vanilla extract, and taste like poor decisions. On the front it has a strong vanilla and carmel flavor follow by a throat punch of alcohol. If you consume the whole Costco size bottle I'm sure you'll skin your knees, then wake up feeling like you have been eat by a wolf and shit off a cliff. So pick up a bottle today and give it to a friend.

Don’t start with this rum, but use it later in the evening after you have had your fill of the good stuff. It’s spiced and, since you bought it at Costco, you have a lot of it, so drink it up as a mixer with lots of ice. Fine in a pinch.

I had rum on my OneNote list ostensibly to make a kind of Venetian carnevale cookie, so when I saw 1.75 liters at my local Costco for $14+, I was giddy-guilty and bought it anyway. The first drink I made was a hot toddy, and I was impressed even with the addition of honey. For some reason, my Cuba Libre now sitting nearly quaffed away at my laptop's side is almost too sweet to take. I agree with the poster who said he'd most likely not replace this, but my Scottish side will not allow me to waste it. Still haven't made those cookies...

My neighbor turned me on to this and I found it very amateurish. Asked him where he got it. That answered my question and should answer yours. Costco! No need to carry on any further.

I really enjoyed the Kirkland spiced rum when it initially hit the shelves. This rum + diet coke became my go-to cocktail of choice and I adored the reasonable price. About a year or so ago I had noticed they've completely changed the formula. I've Googled for information about this but I'm not able to find anything. On occasion, I'm able to source an "old rum" bottle from Costco, but I've recently made the mistake of purchasing a case of what I thought was the old rum. It's really nearly undrinkable. Adding some straight up vanilla extract helps, but ...yuck.
