I've always wanted to give it a try and bought a bottle of Kirkland Blended Whisky, they only had the larger 1.75 L size and the price is still a bargain. In short, you get what you pay for and this is best for mixers or my favorite a Mizuwari (Japanese style highball with plenty of ice, water and a bit of whisky; usually 2 part water for every 1 part whisky). I find a lot of bottom shelf liquor goes nicely as a Mizuwari and this beats Black Velvet. It doesn't hold a candle against other blended scotches like Johnnie Walker Red Label, Ballentines, or Chivas Regal, but against other bottom shelf liquors its acceptable. For the price, this is a phenomenal deal and yields me 35 Mizuwari for the price of maybe 15 that I could get from a bottle of Jameson or Johnnie Walker Red. A savings of at least 2.3 to 1. But you would get bored drinking this all day and good to keep it for mixers and splurge the savings on something nice like a Highland Park 12 Year or Laphroig
