One Barrel, Seven Years, No Dilution
The World Whiskey Society built the Doc Holliday line as a tribute to John Henry "Doc" Holliday — dentist, gambler and the loyal friend who stood beside Wyatt Earp at the O.K. Corral. The whiskey matches the legend's nerve: a high-rye bourbon mash aged a full seven years, selected barrel by barrel and bottled at cask strength, so what reaches the glass is the barrel's own undiluted character. The presentation commits to the theme — a brass steer skull on the label and a stopper modelled on a revolver cylinder, its chambers stamped like the six-shooter it echoes. Reviewers have singled the 7 Year out, including Best of Show and Double Gold honours at the 2024 WSWA Access Live competition.

Tasting Notes
The Society describes sweet vanilla bean, mulled spice and a hint of butter on the nose, opening into baked vanilla, cinnamon-hot candies and baked pie crust drizzled in butter, with sweet cake batter through a silky, long and warming finish. Independent barrels lean spicier — cloves, barrel char and black pepper over vanilla, maple and brown butter — which is exactly the barrel-to-barrel variation cask strength single barrels are bought for.
How to Enjoy
Neat first, then with a splash of water or one large cube to open the barrel proof. It stands up in an Old Fashioned, but the single-barrel character is the point — give it a straight pour before you mix it.
