About World Whiskey Society:

Established in 2020, the World Whiskey Society (WWS) comprises an ultra-premium collection of rare expressions previously unavailable to even the most sophisticated whiskey enthusiasts. WWS scours the globe far and wide with a singular goal in mind – uniqueness – before selecting a distillery partner to join WWS. Or they may choose to release something completely new by finishing small-batch American bourbon in exotic oak barrels from Japan. Whether it is the Classic Collection, the Reserve Collection, the tributes to Doc Holliday, or the Diamond Collection, WWS offers whiskies for everyday enjoyment and moments of celebration.

About The Doc Holliday Portfolio:

  • Doc Holliday Straight Kentucky Bourbon Single Barrel Edition Aged 6 Years (SRP : $89): Leads with hints of tobacco leaf, green peppercorns, wet charred oak and earth on the nose. On the palate are flavors of cinnamon syrup, spiced raisins, vanilla bean and gentle oak, followed by baking spices, brown sugar, oak wood and a light rye spice finish. 57.9% ABV.
  • Doc Holliday Straight Kentucky Bourbon Single Barrel Edition Aged 7 Years (SRP: $134): Exhibits an impressively deep nose of sweet vanilla bean, mulled spice, and subtle hints of butter. Baked vanilla pairs with explosive flavors of cinnamon-hot candies, baked pie crust, drizzled in butter, and sweet cake batter. A silky mouthfeel filled with space and the gentle underpinning of sweetness in a long and warming finish. 57.9% ABV.
  • Doc Holliday Straight Kentucky Bourbon Single Barrel Edition Aged 10 Years (SRP: $184): Despite its higher proof, the nose is elegant, with cherry and peach pie aromas, as well as vanilla, deep caramel and soft cedar plants touched with apricot and dates. The sip is warm, yet balanced, with burnt orange, apricot jam, and soft marzipan next to black-tea soaked dates, old figs, and brandy-stewed prunes. There are notes of chocolate and hazelnut at the end with a nice mix of mincemeat pies and sticky toffee pudding. 66.4% ABV.
