Despite the chatter, this claim is not actually accurate. The proof, in this case, is literally in the fine print; the Member's Mark vodka from Sam's Club has a label on the bottle stating that it was distilled in Louisville, Kentucky by I.W.A Distilling. This differs from the company producing the Kirkland brand of vodka at Costco, the LeVecke Corporation, based in Mira Loma, California.
