Bottled as it comes out of the barrel, this cask strength whiskey delivers all of the spirit's character in a bold and well-rounded flavor. Not for the faint of heart, this is the most serious expression of Old Line's award winning Single Malt Whiskey. Old Line Distillery is a craft distillery located in Baltimore, MD focusing on American Single Malts and rum. There's a pretty interesting backstory about the two co-founders: Mark McLaughlin and Arch Watkins, so if you have time, head over to their website to learn more. American Single Malts are an interesting subset of Whiskey: not Scotch, but also not bourbon. They follow many of the same rules of Scotch: using malted barley as the grain base and aging it in barrels, but also have the freedom to age the liquid as short or long as desired (instead of the minimum 3 years), leading to interesting and delicious results. In this case, Old Line used smaller American white oak barrels (instead of the standard 53 gallon ones used for bourbon), to age its spirit, leading to faster aging due to the greater contact between liquid and barrel.
