This new whiskey blend was inspired by the Costco’s famous and extremely affordable hot dog and soda food court combo. “I Got That Dog in Me”, is produced by Rare Character Whiskey, a company that creates similar whiskey blends for corporate customers. Each bottle is priced at nearly USD 90 (around Rs 8380), but the distillation process and ingredients behind this new invention is still a mystery. Don’t let the picture of the famous food combo on the cover mislead you. Turns out, the whiskey does not remotely have any hot dog flavour.
I Got That Dog in Me was launched exclusively at Costco in Washington DC in late March and there is a limit of one bottle per Costco membership. Costco fans are also praising Costco for the decision to bring the bottle to shelves. “Costco as a company is so self-aware,” said one Reddit user. Costco does this sometimes, releases a limited-time or brand exclusive items to stores without previous announcements sometimes. This makes it unclear if this bottle will return to shelves or appear at other locations. We don’t even know how many bottles currently exist.
There have only been positive reviews for this blend that has aged for 11 years and four months, though. “Very good. I get lots of oak, marshmallow, and maybe something spicy that I can’t quite name? Cardamom or cinnamon, maybe?” said one Redditor. “A little leather on the nose for me. The finish goes on forever. Excellent bottle, and happy to pay what I paid for it.” Someone even joked about the blend having subtle notes of hot dog water. You never know.
