Costco members spot popular drink on store shelves ahead of Christmas – and claim it’s ‘better’ than the fancy label
When a REDDIT member noticed a popular Christmas drink on Costco shelves, they shared on the platform that they ‘couldn’t resist grabbing one up’.
The client posted on social media that Kirkland’s high-end cognac was an astounding $27 less expensive than Hennessy.
“I was doing some Christmas shopping at Costco today, hoping to catch some deals,” began the post, which first surfaced on Reddita a few days ago.
“I stumbled across something unexpected: a handle of Costco s new premium cognac.”
They went on to say, “I usually drink Hennessy; it’s expensive but worth it.”
“Costco typically sells handles of Hennessy for $74.99, which is already a solid deal compared to other stores.”

The individual published a side-by-side image of the two comparable drinks on the social networking platform.
The Reddit poster expressed a notable disparity in cost: “Costco had their new cognac displayed for $47 a handle.”
“I couldn’t help but grab one to give it a try. If it’s even remotely comparable to Hennessy, it’s a great deal at that price.
“I would like to know if anyone else has seen or attempted this. What do you think?
PUBLIC OPINION
The post has since received over 900 upvotes, and other Costco members were quick to jump into the comments section.
“It’s produced by Peyrat, they disclose it on the back label,” one commenter wrote.
Another individual said, “Funny enough, I just bought a bottle of this last night, but I haven’t had a chance to try any yet.”
“I have had the Kirkland XO which is made by Peyrat-Associ s as well.”
“With some chocolate and blackberries, it was very delicious. Hennessy is also good, although it’s difficult to defend the price.
It was evident from the remarks that customers were pleased with the less expensive option.
A customer commented, “I’ve had it multiple times for holiday parties, birthdays, and that’s the bottle I bring.”
“This new 1.75L bottle costs $47.99, and I don’t think anything can top it. I’m drinking a glass now, and I can assure you that this bottle tastes better than the XO.
It was quickly noted by other users that it was “better than Hennessy.”
