"Classic, comforting stuff - these are best enjoyed by the fire with people you love. And if you're pouring something to go with it, there's really no competition. Bourbon and sweet treats go hand in hand, especially when fall flavors are involved. Ariana Ruiz, a brand ambassador for the likes of Jack Daniel's in Mexico and Woodford Reserve, told Tasting Table that straight bourbon naturally develops sweet caramel and vanilla notes during production."
"Costco exclusively uses canned Dickinson pumpkins - dense, sweet, and deep orange in hue - which roast beautifully to create a velvety, custard-like filling. When paired with Kirkland bourbon, the pie's nutty and spiced complexity deepens, picking up notes of oak and caramelized sugar. The creamy texture cuts through the warmth of a high-proof spirit, leaving every bite and sip in perfect balance."
"Costco's private label bourbon lineup - featured in our ranking of Kirkland whiskeys - includes the Small Batch, Bottled-in-Bond, and Single Barrel varieties. Produced by the historic Barton 1792 distillery, this assortment is known for a bold, spicy rye kick that wakes up the palate. The Single Barrel stands out for its complexity: rich caramel, vanilla, and oak flavors layered over a toffee sweetness, without the harsh edge often found in high-proof bottles."
Fall desserts pair well with bourbon because straight bourbon develops sweet caramel and vanilla notes that complement brown sugar, cinnamon, buttery crusts, and fruit or nut desserts. Costco pumpkin pie uses canned Dickinson pumpkins that roast to a velvety, custard-like filling; pairing with Kirkland bourbon accentuates nutty, spiced complexity and adds oak and caramelized-sugar notes while the pie’s creaminess balances high-proof warmth. Costco’s Kirkland bourbon lineup—Small Batch, Bottled-in-Bond, and Single Barrel—comes from Barton 1792 and offers a bold, spicy rye kick. The Single Barrel delivers layered caramel, vanilla, oak, and toffee sweetness without harshness.
