🎙️ DadDimes on the Rocks – Episode: The Legend of Doc Holliday (with Special Guest Aron Anderson)

Welcome back to DadDimes on the Rocks, where we sip hard and speak easy. On this episode, we saddle up with a special guest—our good buddy and fellow bourbon renegade, Aron Anderson—to review a bottle as bold and legendary as its namesake: Doc Holliday 7-Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

🥃 The Bottle

Crafted by Legends Distillery in Georgia, this small-batch bourbon is aged 7 years and bottled at 115 proof (57.5% ABV). That’s a strong pour with serious frontier swagger. Named after the infamous gunslinger and dentist himself, this whiskey aims to blend southern elegance with Old West grit.

The bottle is just as much a statement as the juice inside—vintage-style labeling, gold embossed lettering, and that iconic outlaw gaze staring you down before you even twist the cap.

🧠 Tasting Notes

Nose:A deep inhale hits with burnt caramel, saddle leather, charred oak, and a kiss of cherry pipe tobacco. There's a faint citrus note under the bold heat—maybe orange zest or candied ginger.

Palate:
Bold and punchy up front—dark chocolate, leather, cinnamon stick, and toasted pecans. Mid-palate mellows into molasses, clove, and black peppercorn. That 115 proof carries heat, but it’s refined, not reckless. 

Finish:
Long and warming. Oak-forward with a spicy tail. You’ll remember this pour 10 minutes later—and that’s no bad thing.

🎯 Who’s It For?

• High-proof hunters who want a robust, uncut pour.
• Fans of Knob Creek Single Barrel or Elijah Craig Barrel Proof will feel right at home.
• If you like your bourbon bold, rustic, and layered with frontier character, Doc’s got your medicine.

🥃 How We Sipped It

• Neat: That’s the law around these parts. It’s what Doc would’ve wanted.
• With a drop of water: Opens up a touch more vanilla and citrus.
• On a rock? Not tonight, partner. Save that for a different bottle.

🗣️ Final Verdict (DadDimes)

DadDimes:

“This isn’t an everyday pour. It’s a Saturday night around the fire kind of pour—when you want something that demands your full attention.”

⭐ Rating:

🔥 4.5/5 Spurs
This bourbon doesn’t play it safe—and we respect that. Complex, fiery, and full of soul. A bottle for outlaws, legends, and anyone who likes their whiskey with a story.

That’s it for this round of DadDimes on the Rocks. Huge thanks to Aron Anderson for riding shotgun on this pour. Until next time—sip slow, shoot straight, and never bring weak whiskey to a standoff. 🥃🤠
