A REDDIT user took to the platform to share that they ‘couldn’t resist picking one up’ after spotting a popular holiday drink on Costco shelves.
Taking to social media, the customer shared that Kirkland’s premium cognac was a whopping $27 cheaper than Hennessy.

The post, which appeared on Reddit a few days ago, started, “I was doing some Christmas shopping at Costco today, hoping to catch some deals.
“I stumbled across something unexpected: a handle of Costco’s new premium cognac.”
They followed up by explaining, “I’m usually a Hennessy drinker; 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.”
In a picture posted to the social media site, the person shared a side-by-side photo of the two similar drinks.
In a significant price difference, the Reddit user shared: “Costco had their new cognac displayed for $47 a handle.”
“I couldn’t resist grabbing one to try. At that price, if it’s anything close to Hennessy, it’s a steal.”
“Here’s my question: has anyone else seen or tried this? What are your thoughts?”
PUBLIC OPINION
Other Costco members were quick to dive into the comments of the post, which has since been upvoted over 900 times.
One comment read, “It’s produced by Peyrat, they disclose it on the back label.”
A second person quipped, “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-Associés as well.”
“It was really good, especially with some blackberries and chocolate. Hennessy is good as well, but hard to justify the price.”
A convenient saving for the holidays[/caption]
From the comments, it was clear that shoppers were happy with the affordable alternative.
One buyer shared, “I’ve had it multiple times for holiday parties, birthdays, and that’s the bottle I bring.”
“I don’t think anything is topping this new 1.75L bottle for $47.99. Im having a glass right now, and I swear, this bottle actually tastes superior to the XO.”
Other users were also quick to point out that it was ‘better than Hennessy.’
As we countdown with the final few days of Christmas shopping, this festive favorite is likely to fly off the shelves.
Head down to your nearest Costco to get yours and avoid missing out.
Costco membership sharing guidelines
Costco has strict rules for membership use that shoppers must follow and they've been cracking down on offenders in recent years.
- Primary Member Use: Only the primary cardholder can use this Costco membership card. Sharing it for purchases is not allowed as the photo on the card must match the person using it.
- Household Card: Each primary member can add one free household cardholder who lives at the same address. This person will receive their own membership card and can shop at Costco independently.
- Guest Policy: Members can bring up to two guests per visit to Costco. However, only the member can make purchases. Guests must be accompanied by the member.
- Authorized Cardholder: For an additional fee, you can add an authorized cardholder, such as a family member or friend, who doesn’t reside at your address. They will receive their own card and can shop independently.
