Doc Holliday 8 Year Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish Bourbon

Doc Holliday 8 Year Bourbon is a distinctive craft whiskey from World Whiskey Society that stands out for its uncommon mash bill featuring malted corn—a rarely used ingredient that requires extensive processing—along with its cask-strength proof and complex flavor profile blending spice, caramel, tobacco, and chocolate. Sourced from the now-defunct Ivy Mountain Distillery in Georgia, this bourbon is aged for 8 years and bottled at 131 proof, delivering an unusually sophisticated balance of heat and sweetness that rewards careful sipping, while its striking bottle design and limited production make it a collector's piece for bourbon enthusiasts seeking something genuinely unique rather than conventionally refined.

Doc Holliday 8 Years Old is a straight bourbon whiskey crafted with an unconventional mash bill of 80% corn, 10% malted corn, 5% rye, and 5% malted barley—a composition rarely seen in commercial bourbon production. Sourced from Ivy Mountain Distillery in Georgia and bottled by World Whiskey Society, this cask-strength bourbon is bottled at 131 proof (65.5% ABV) and carries a suggested retail price of $134.

The bouquet opens with sweet caramel and buttered cornbread, evolving into deeper notes of cream, rich tobacco, and milk chocolate. A swirl reveals subtle orange citrus accents enveloped in chocolatey malt with persistent spice undertones.

The palate begins with pronounced rye spice, giving way to caramel and dark chocolate intensity. Green apple and orange rind flavors emerge alongside a rich, sweet malty backbone, creating a complex interplay between punchy spice and velvety sweetness.

A long, warming finish persists with layered spice notes—shifting from rye to pepper and allspice—complemented by tobacco, chocolate, and subtle chili pepper heat. The finish dries gradually, with aged oak and leather lingering gracefully.

The inclusion of malted corn in the mash bill is sporadic, requiring a specialized soaking, germination, and kilning process that few distilleries undertake. This bourbon originates from a now-defunct distillery and is produced in minimal quantities, making it a distinctive collector's item with a flavor profile that defies typical bourbon conventions.

Best appreciated neat or with a single large ice cube in a nosing glass, allowing the complex layers of spice, fruit, and oak to develop fully. The high proof remains surprisingly manageable, making it suitable for both sipping slowly and exploring its evolving flavor journey throughout the tasting experience.
