In an era of dubious reports, general hijinx, and subverted truth, everyone’s antenna is up more than usual for April Fool’s Day. But that’s okay! We aren’t trying to pull any tricks with this list. Instead, we decided to come up with several 100% fake (for now) bottles of whiskey that we wish were real. Hey, with limited edition whiskeys hitting liquor store shelves at an unprecedented clip, can you blame us for dreaming?

2 months ago | uproxx.com | Frank Dobbins

It’s time to go down a rabbit hole. Located in downtown Louisville, Rabbit Hole Distillery, which opened in 2018, is finally hitting its groove. It owes its success to the contracted distillate it started with, key partnerships, and the tireless work of its Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame founder, Kaveh Zamanian.

At this point, however, one might stop and ask themselves, are Buffalo Trace’s most popular bourbons truly worth it?
