Who makes Kirkland Bourbon Whiskey?

Who owns Kirkland Bourbon Whiskey?

Costco Wholesale owns Kirkland Signature, its private-label brand. [1]

Costco’s 2025 annual report identifies Kirkland Signature as its private-label brand. A distillery named on a bourbon label is the supplier for that documented product, rather than the owner of Costco’s whole Kirkland range. [1] [2]

Who actually makes Kirkland Bourbon Whiskey products?

The November 2021 bottle review records Barton 1792 Master Distillers and DSP-KY-12. September 2021 reporting independently identifies the Barton distillery for the Bottled-in-Bond release. Those records support a named distiller for that expression. [2] [3]

Where are Kirkland Bourbon Whiskey products made?

The September review places the Barton distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. A precise bourbon supplier record should remain tied to the bottle and production program, rather than being generalized to Costco’s Scotch, Canadian whisky or every old bourbon label. [3]

Is Kirkland Bourbon Whiskey made in China or the USA?

Kentucky manufacture is confirmed for the documented bourbon. A blanket China origin is inconsistent with that record; whether every later Kirkland bourbon batch uses the same facility remains not public in the reviewed sources. [2] [3]

Same factory, different label

The documented distillery also makes Barton-branded bourbon, according to the review. A shared distiller does not prove Kirkland Bottled-in-Bond is identical to a particular 1792 retail expression or that every Costco whiskey shares that distillery. [3]
