Named for John Henry Holliday, also known as Doc Holliday (he was a dentist if you didn’t know it already), The World Whiskey Society is set to release Doc Holliday 15-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Luckily, you don’t have to be a historically famous gunslinger to enjoy this nuanced, complex, long-aged whiskey.

This Kentucky straight bourbon begins with a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley. It was matured for fifteen years in new, charred American oak barrels. It’s unfiltered and bottled at a potent 61.5% ABV.

According to The World Whiskey Society, this results in a nuanced, sublime whiskey that begins with a nose of caramelized apples, maraschino cherries, clove, nutmegs, other spices, and roasted pecans. The palate is swirling with notes of caramelized apples, maraschino cherries, clove, nutmeg, vanilla beans, candied nuts, and a lingering, toasted, buttery flavor. The finish is long and warm and ends with caramel apples, candied pecans, and gentle winter spices.

Even though Doc Holliday died at the young age of 36, the world knows him as a hero gunslinger at the O.K. Corral. This memorable, nuanced Kentucky straight bourbon carries on his legacy in whiskey form. If you want to get your hands on a bottle, you can purchase a 750ml bottle at The World Whiskey Society website for $399. Crack it open, stream ‘Tombstone,’ and enjoy a glass of this mellow, sipping whiskey. Val Kilmer, Kurt Russell, and whiskey? Now that’s what we call a perfect evening.

To celebrate a decade of American whiskey and moonshine, Casey Jones Distillery is releasing a limited-edition expression called Founder’s 10th Anniversary Blend. The whiskey was made to pay homage to the distillery’s namesake, a man named Alfred “Casey” Jones, who was a well-known whiskey maker and illicit moonshiner. He was also the grandfather of current Master Distiller Arlon “AJ” Jones.

This limited-edition expression is a blend of Kentucky straight bourbons and “Barrel Cut,” a proprietary spirit made from corn and sugarcane. This 103.3-proof whiskey was distilled in a handmade square pot copper still and matured in charred oak barrels. The result is a unique, complex whiskey that begins with a nose of brown sugar, brown butter, toasted vanilla beans, and teakwood. The palate is a symphony of caramelized sugar, coffee beans, vanilla, oak, and gentle smoke.
