10 Years
Released in February 2025, this 10-year-old bourbon comes to us from the World Whiskey Society. We'll get into the bourbon but first need to discuss the packaging. Encased in a collector's case, the bottle is joined by a 2-in-1 cork gun stopper and display revolver. As for the bourbon within the flashy case and bottle: It was distilled by Scissortail in Oklahoma from a mashbill of 51% corn, 45% wheat and 4% malted barley (based on that mashbill, you'd guess MGP, but apparently it was distilled by Scissortail). The Doc Holliday 10-Year-Old Special Edition Collector's Case is available for $249 on the WWS online shop.

Blackberry jam, plum, raisin, honey, apple, cinnamon and a distinct vinegar note
The mouthfeel is moderate but on the thin side initially, but it thickens up after a little time in the mouth. Lovely Golden Delicious apple note is joined by honey, wheat funk, praline, cinnamon, tobacco and a pop of bubblegum
The finish is medium in length, concluding with more wheat funk, apple peel, a touch of pepper and then a sweetness that reminds me of a buttery Chardonnay, mixed with a faint herbaceous note that's reminiscent of an Italian aperitif.
Very cool decanter, and the bourbon inside strikes some great notes (I love the apple profile), but the wheat in the mashbill stands out a touch more than I'd like. Altogether, this is a very enjoyable bourbon ‚ though not one I'd recommend spending $249 on. Of course, that doesn't factor in the visual aspect of the case and revolver.
