As of August 24, 2026, the manufacturer of Kirkland Signature Cognac (XO and VS) is Maison Peyrat (Peyrat-Associés & Cie), per on-label, first-party, or executive statement evidence.
The common claim
What’s commonly claimed, and what the evidence supports
Top-ranking answers now name Maison Peyrat (Peyrat-Associés & Cie), and unlike most Kirkland attributions the evidence is printed on the bottle: the back label names Peyrat as the producer, transcribed independently by Sipology (XO, March 2024), Chowhound (XO, July 2024), and The Takeout (VS, December 2024). A minority of answer pages credit Camus instead, with no label or registry evidence behind that name, and community guesses have floated other Cognac contract houses. The nuance most answers skip: Peyrat is a negociant (a blending and bottling house), so the growers and distillers of the underlying eaux-de-vie are not disclosed.
Evidence & sources
Each source is graded on the six-tier evidence rubric, where tier 1 is strongest. Sources are archived, so a citation still works if the original page moves or goes behind a paywall.
Tier 4
On-label attribution for the XO: "As for Kirkland's XO Cognac, the label indicates that Peyrat-Associés & CIE is the company that makes the fine spirit... The French, family-owned company operates as Maison Peyrat." Also notes the Kirkland XO is a blend aged between 12 and 21 years, 40% ABV.
Tier 4
Extends the Peyrat attribution from the XO to the newer Kirkland VS Cognac (larger-format bottle, $47 at publication): "The back of the Kirkland bottle notes that the Cognac is produced by the French producer Peyrat." Describes Peyrat as "a high-end distiller and distributor based in Cognac, France, that launched in the 1920s."
Tier 4
Independent bottle-in-hand transcription of the XO label: "Produced for Costco by Peyrat (negociant), Cognac, Charente, France." The reviewer lists the distiller as undisclosed and reads the label age as at least 12 years, above the 10-year XO minimum.
