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?

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. With nearly 3,000 whiskey distilleries in America, up from roughly 150 just 15 years ago, it’s more important than ever to have an edge to help your brand stand out from the pack.

Speculation runs the gamut from carefully calculated chicanery to secondary market malarkey, but Occam’s Razor and conventional wisdom suggest a simpler answer: they’re wildly popular. When demand far outpaces the supply, bottles become scarce in the wild, hunted into near-extinction on liquor store shelves. At this point, however, one might stop and ask themselves, are Buffalo Trace’s most popular bourbons truly worth it?

Not everyone is lucky enough to win a bear fight. In fact, in recent memory, the list is pretty much limited to Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant. Nonetheless, UPROXX sat down with ‘Suits’ star Gabriel Macht to get into an equally biting but far more enjoyable contest: a side-by-side tasting of Bear Fight Whiskey’s flagship expressions, Kentucky Reserve Bourbon Finished In Reposado Barrels and Triple Oak Finished American Single Malt.

An update for my Kentucky folks. Stay safe!

They’re sandbagging parts of downtown in Frankfort. The Kentucky River now projected to hit an ALL-TIME high of 49.5 feet late tonight/early Monday (projection has continued to rise through the week). Much of downtown will be covered. https://t.co/jaEOwjTQVu

This is the stuff, folks 🔥
