Full Press Release from Old Line Spirits
BALTIMORE, Md. (Feb. 20, 2024) – A flawless blend of tradition and innovation, Old Line Spirits is adding a PX Sherry cask finish to their rapidly growing Double Oak American Single Malt Series. Finished in freshly emptied Pedro Ximenez Sherry casks and bottled at 100-proof, this latest edition will be available beginning February 26 at the distillery and through their e-commerce platform.
The American Single Malt Whiskey Double Oak Series, Old Line previously released a whiskey finished in Oloroso Sherry barrels. Now, the new PX Sherry presents tasting notes of vanilla sponge, citrus, dark chocolate, raisin, plum and cherry. Each bottle is at least four years old, including six months in finishing casks.
The world of sherry is broad and varies. This Old Line release explores the sweetest of the seven sherries: Pedro Ximenez. As with all of Old Line’s finishes, this one is the result of a deliberate and delicate balance of putting our ASM into a freshly emptied barrel finishing barrel when the whiskey is at the proper level of maturity where, so it could stand on its own but is also still able to embrace the character imparted by the finishing barrel. And then, of course, we have to remove it from the finishing barrel at the right time! I think we nailed it on this one.
Mark McLaughlin, Co-Founder
The Sherry cask finish is the ninth addition to the award-winning Double Oak American Single Malt Whiskey series. McLaughlin suggests enjoying it neat, on the rocks, or in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned. The release will retail for $65 and will be available at the distillery and select retailers on February 24. It is also available for purchase online with shipping offered in over 40+ states.
About Old Line Spirits:
Some stories are better told over whiskey — like the story behind Old Line Spirits. Mark McLaughlin and Arch Watkins met in the Navy flying EA-6B Prowlers, ended up stationed in the same reserve squadron in Baltimore, and embarked on civilian careers after retiring from the Navy. But when you’ve spent decades flying off aircraft carriers and being stationed all over the world, a desk job isn’t enough. The solution? Whiskey. American Single Malt, to be exact. In 2015, they connected with the owners of Golden Distillery, two Vietnam vets looking to pass the torch. Their tutelage and equipment were the start of Old Line Spirits. McLaughlin and Watkins opened Old Line Spirits in 2017 with plenty of distillery space, a courtyard bar and The Ready Room, Maryland’s first full beer, wine and spirits cocktail bar in a distillery. They produce American Single Malt whiskeys and aged Caribbean rums. For more information, visit oldlinespirits.com.
