Doc Holliday | 8 Year Old | Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 2024 Limited Edition Tasting Notes

Nose: Sweet caramel meets buttered cornbread to form an inviting aroma upfront. A swirl of the glass and deeper inhale reveals an orange citrus note that’s enveloped in a chocolatey malt blanket and a wave of spice against the persistent malty undertone. At over 130 proof, it’s not devoid of heat, but at the same time it’s surprisingly manageable. You’ll notice an enjoyable uniqueness as it all comes together, delivered by its complex, yet punchy assembly of aromas.

Palate: Beginning with a healthy dose of rye spice upfront, sweeter notes of caramel and chocolate emerge with intensity. Fruit flavors consisting of green apple and orange rind materialize, albeit light against what ultimately becomes a persistent spicy note throughout. A rich, sweet malty note appears on the backend of the palate, making it equal parts familiar and unusual at the same time. Like the nose it’s surprisingly manageable considering its high proof point, shifting from punchy to rich and full. The palate is where the bourbon reaches its high point, enticing you to roll it around in your mouth a bit longer and making for a really nice midpoint to the sip.

Finish: Spice persists into the finish, shifting from rye to pepper and allspice. Beyond the initial layers of spice, tobacco, chocolate, and a touch of chili pepper spice tease their way in. A sweet undertone materializes, but remains nondescript. The intensity of the bourbon increases to its highest level, making for a long, spice-filled finish that maintains a healthy level of sweetness even though it takes a backseat to the spice. It turns dry as it lingers, with aged oak and leather mingling in.
