Kirkland Signature is the brand label for products produced for Costco, a chain of big-box retail warehouses and one of the largest alcohol retailers in the world. Costco will source whiskey and have it bottled exclusively for them. In the past, the company has partnered with American distilleries in Kentucky and Tennessee.
Kirkland Signature is named for Kirkland, WA, the original location of Costco’s headquarters. The company has since moved to nearby Issaquah, WA, but co-founder Jim Sinegal said, “Nobody could spell Issaquah, so we kept it.”1Taste of Home – Here’s Everything You Need to Know About the Kirkland Signature Brand
