Default Costco Liquor store Cognac?

Anyone know if Costco liquor stores in Calgary sell Cognac?
If so, what brand(s)? any info on pricing?

Looking for info for Calgary stores only.
Thanks for your help!

Do you own a phone, maybe try calling them. I know they have one and they answer it.

Thanks for the insightful tip, never thought of that....

Just thought I would ask the members on here since it was almost another 3 hours before they open when I posted my question. And upon further search, I did find their number, but it wasn't listed on their website where I looked first.

Fair point, I didn't look at what time it was when you posted the question. Wasn't trying to be a smart ass, just seemed like asking on a forum was the hard way to find out what they carry since each store is different in what they stock.

They have cognac but it's the uber good stuff if I remember right. The stuff that used to cost 100 bucks in England and is 250 here

Cognac to be called such has to come from the Cognac region of France. Brandy, same thing without the pretensions , a lot less money.

Brandy is any distilled fruit wine. European Cognac must be from the Cognac region but only from ugni (sp?) blanc grapes and is double distilled. US and many other places don't follow the european rules so it could be brandy labeled cognac. Think Japan won the international title for best Cognac in 2015.
To answer the OP question around Christmas I saw a Costco display of XO Cognac for $179 per bottle which is getting into the high end stuff. Next to it was an XO Cognac in the Kirkland brand for $56. It was very good and the key word is "was".

Thanks for the input guys I ended up going in a few days back and yea it was mostly higher end stuff. I did buy some brandy for my wife,she likes the St. Remy, which was only $23 and ended up buying Hennessy from superstore,which is my favorite so far anyways. Will have to check it out again to see if they get the Kirkland brand and try that one too.
