Costco just dropped a hot dog–themed bourbon — and the internet is (rightly) losing it.
Why it matters: It's only popped up in D.C. so far — not an April Fool's joke.
What we know: The release, called "I Got That Dog In Me Bourbon," is an 11-year Kentucky single barrel from Rare Character Whiskey — a buzzy independent bottler known for limited releases that spark bidding wars and whiskey hunts.
The label features Costco's iconic food court hot dog combo.
This dog bites back — it clocks in at a hefty 63.05% ABV.
No, it's not actually made with hot dogs. (Probably for the best.)
🥃 Anna's thought bubble: Give it five minutes before a bartender unveils a half-smoke-washed "Costc'ol Fashioned" — so D.C.
What we don't know: Will there be more? Early reports say it sold out in a day.
The intrigue: Whiskey hawks are already circling, offering up prized Pappys and serious cash for what was an $86 bottle — inspired by a $1.50 dog.
