The Birthday Cake Follow-Up to the Cookie Dough Original
Dough Ball made its name on cookie-dough whiskey — a brand that climbed to "fastest-growing flavored whiskey brand" in under three years — and Birthday Cake is the follow-up flavor that applies the same idea to the birthday-cake aisle: sprinkled vanilla cake, frosting, sweet batter, buttery richness, all carried on a smooth 70-proof whiskey. It isn't pretending to be a straight bourbon; it's a flavored whiskey built for celebration pours. Shop more flavored whiskey and whisky, or explore the Dough Ball line at Del Mesa.
