Is Kirkland Vodka the same as Grey Goose Vodka?

[vital]

I was told that Kirkland Vodka from Costco is just rebranded Grey Goose Vodka.. is this true? It costs half the price of grey goose!

 

[Mo0o]

grey goose is all marketing anyways

I heard if you put it through a Brita filter most people cant tell the difference.

I've heard that it is Grey Goose as well. I did a side by side comparison and my results were inconclusive. What I do know is that they are both excellent vodkas that I enjoy drinking with no chaser. Actually, I drink Smirnoff straight as well, so maybe I'm not a good example.

Mythbusters tested this! If your taste buds are good for liquor it's busted.

Meh they all taste the same after you're drunk anyway.

If you're mixing the vodka there's no reason to be buying expensive stuff.

If you're drinking it neat then drink whatever tastes best to you : ).

I heard cheap vodka will make you drunk just as much as expensive vodka.

I didn't like how they busted it though. I mean they proved that filtering vodka did improve it noticeably by those who know what they're doing. Jamie was close, Kari had no fucking clue, and the expert guessed exactly right which was top shelf, dirt poor, and each level of filtration. That means that filtering helps, it just won't turn poor vodka into amazing vodka.

Average joes won't know the difference.

I've heard this as well. It came up at a party two weekends ago when we were drinking Kirkland "craft brews." They were pretty damn good. Someone knew someone that worked for whomever makes Grey Goose, that person said the same stuff is bottled at Kirkland. I took it with a grain of salt, but have since heard the same thing, and then read it here. And you know that if you read it on ATOT, it must be true.

Do they only sell this in Costco? My state sells all hard liquor at state liquor stores

 

[RichieZ]

uh these vodkas don't at all smell the same or taste the same. ask me how i know?

Somebody decided to bring a huge bottle of kirkland to vegas and IMO its pretty vile. I did note it says its made in the same area of France as Grey Goose

Let me clarify:

10 shots of Popov: Wee, I'm tipsy!
10 shots of Grey Goose: Wee, I'm tipsy!

I can't speak for the Vodka but in general Costco gets very good companies to produce their Kirkland brand items. From Wine to their dog food, they are all very reputable companies that make it.

Don't the impurities in cheaper alcohols give you a worse hangovers though?

Hangovers from cheap liquors arent worth the cost savings.

10 shots of Popov: Woah, I feel like shit the next morning!
10 shots of Grey Goose: Wee, I feel fine this morning!

Fixed for the uninformed.

Yeah, good quality vodka does not give you a hangover. I tried Kirkland and it was just as smooth as Grey Goose.

That's a bunch of crap. If you're not hungover the next day, you simply didn't drink enough of it. If you're drinking Aristocrat or something foul like that, you turn the bottle up because it's only a few bucks, right...? But for Grey Goose or Ketel One..... "Oh no! This stuff is expensive....it's a a sipping vodka!" That's the attitude they have an that's why they don't get hangovers....they're not big enough drunks.

That's true and not true. I think it takes less drinking of cheap stuff to feel like shit the next morning. It's full impurities and is rough on your system. I can certainly drink more Stoli than I can something really cheap. I can start to get a headach after a few mixed drinks of cheap crap vodka. I think there is a diminishing returns point though. I like Stoli because it's cheap but of a much higher quality than something like a Popov. I love Kettle One, but I generally drink Stoli because it's cheaper but close in quality.

I disagree..if i make a screwdriver with Stoli its 100x better than with Smirnoff.
