Doc Holliday 8 year old Cask Strength Single Barrel Edition (Barrel 901), 65.5%

Price: 135 Issue: Spring 2023 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Despite the high proof, the nose is more elegant than brutish, befitting its namesake, with peaches and pears, sweet lemon tea, and a unifying ribbon of caramel. On the palate, the doctor steps out of the office and into the O.K. Corral, with the whiskey’s proof shining through. Rich and lemony, there are notes of black tea, cherry cough drops, and honeycomb overtop fresh-baked wheat bread.
