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.
