Costco Kirkland Signature Tequila Anejo – reasonably priced, high quality, sipping tequila!
Tomorow is my birthday so I’m going to review something fun! The Costco Kirkland Signature Anejo Tequila. I’ve previously reviewed the Kirkland Signature Silver Tequila which is my go to for margaritas but I decided to pick up this amber colored tequila to make golden margaritas and try it to review!
Other fun drinks I’ve reviewed from Costco are the Kirkland Signature Golden Margarita, Kirkland Signature Strawberry Margarita, Kirkland Signature Margarita Mix, Costco bought Pink Whitney and the Costco Kirkland Signature Sangria.
This can be found at your local Costco liquor store and the item number is 1327189.
Taste
This tequila anejo is way stronger tasting and more flavorful than the silver tequila, anejo means the tequila has been aged in oak barrels for at least one year so you get a strong oak flavor and smell. Due to the longer time period the tequila rests in oak is what gives the tequila the amber color.
My husband took one for the team and slowly sipped the tequila on it’s own to get the true flavors. Noticeable smells are agave, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla and of course oak! It tastes pretty much like it smells with a very mild burn and not too much of an aftertaste! This is not a cheap, disgusting, gasoline tasting tequila. We both thought it tasted smooth and like a high quality tequila.
Cost
I paid $43.99 for the 1 litre bottle of tequila. Pretty reasonable considering any tequila isn’t cheap where I’m from.
Convenience
This tequila can be enjoyed straight as a sipping tequila or you can use it to make margaritas or other mixed drinks. The bottle has a convenient cork stopper. The Kirkland Signature Anejo Tequila is way easier to pour than the silver tequila due to it being a smaller size.
Nutrition
All I’m going to say about this is that pure agave tequila has zero carbs due to the distillation process and is also low in sugar. There’s 69 calories in one ounce.
Scoring
Taste: 8.5/10
Cost: 9/10
Convenience: 10/10
Nutrition: N/A
Overall
Give it a try!
This Kirkland Signature Tequila Anejo is reasonably priced and is great for sipping alone or using for margaritas or other drinks.

Once again…. jealous…. no liquor in Ontario! I learned about añjeo and reposado tequila in Mexico. The difference between it and the shots of tequila with lime and salt are like comparing cheap whiskey to a single malt scotch. I like my añjeo straight up in a brandy snifter and no mix! That’s sacrilege lol 😝!!
Cheers 🥂
Sounds like you’d be fun to hangout with in Mexico! Tequila is my favorite (my go-to is margaritas) so I enjoy reviewing all the different tequila Costco carries.
Just brought a bottle for about $25 in Kapolei, HI. I am pleasantly surprised that it is tasty on the rocks! Too bad you can’t buy liquor in grocery stores in NY State.
Go Bills!
Oh wow I wish I were in Hawaii!
This the absolute best tequila! There’s no better bang for buck anejo out there. One of the many things about living in Alberta.
I didn’t get this in Montreal.
Thanks for your review and keep up the great work!
Where is your local store? That price seems high.
Alberta
Ah, I can see that. From my travels in Canada, I found that liquor cost nearly double as in California (but you have better healthcare as a result). This product is a viable tequila that is about $20 here. Great review!
Do you still supply the Tequila Anejo?
I’ve seen it recently at my local Costco liquor store.

Costco Anejo Tequila is my favorite Tequila and I’ve tried just about every brand from $200 down.
Reposado is the best.
