Old Line Double Oak Series Cognac Cask, 50%

Price: 65 Issue: Summer 2023 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Single Malt American Whiskey

The nose is rife with ripe strawberries in sweetened forms: strawberry-banana smoothie, strawberry milk, and strawberry-frosted vanilla cupcake. There’s an underlying tropical note too, bringing to mind pineapple chunks and mango slices. The fruit continues on to the palate, but there’s a nice kick of spice in the form of candied ginger and red pepper jelly. A burst of spearmint is joined by Welch’s fruit gummies and strawberry milk on the finish.
