Dough Ball Cookie Dough Whiskey
Dough Ball Cookie Dough Whiskey is a 70-proof (35% ABV) flavored whiskey that tastes exactly like its name — buttery vanilla, chocolate chip, caramel, butterscotch, and brown sugar in a 750mL bottle built for fun. Launched in August 2021 by Dough Ball Whiskey Co., it became the fastest-growing flavored whiskey brand in the U.S. per Nielsen, expanding to 30+ states in its first year and collecting wins at the Bartender Spirits Awards, the SIP Awards, and the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The brand's own site calls out "irresistible aromas of freshly baked cookies" — a cookie-dough-infused bite of chocolate, butter, and hints of caramel. It's a shot, a dessert pour, and a cocktail base in one. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Freshly Baked in a Bottle
Dough Ball plays it straight: whiskey infused with cookie dough flavor until it smells like a cookie sheet fresh out of the oven. The pour is a light caramel hue with vanilla, brown sugar, and buttery cookie dough on the nose, and the palate follows — sweet vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and a lingering sweet cookie-dough finish. One published review called it "overwhelmingly sweet," and that's the point: this is a novelty dessert spirit, not a contemplative sipper. Try it in the Dough Ball Sour, a Dough-Spresso Martini, or a S'Mores cocktail — or just pour it over ice cream. Browse more fun pours in our whisky collection or see everything from Dough Ball.
Tasting Notes

How to Enjoy
Chilled as a shot, on the rocks, or warmed up. It shines in cocktails (Dough Ball Sour, Dough-Spresso Martini, S'Mores) and poured over dessert — vanilla ice cream is the obvious move.
