The store is actually run by WBLiquors. Although you can get some good prices, overall it is not the same as Costco deals in other states.

Aroma and taste for each individual rum was aligned in the same fashion where Seven Tiki smelled and tasted a little more vanilla, and Kirkland a little less so but a bit more pungent, but I'm sure that's due to its 92 proof. In either case the taste in mixed drinks wasn't distinguishable so I'll likely be buying this as my spiced rum until I deem fit otherwise.
