Doc Holliday Huckleberry Flavored Whiskey

The first-ever flavored whiskey edition in the Doc Holliday series — a classic whiskey base blended with the sweet, tart taste of huckleberries. Inspired by Doc Holliday's most famous catchphrase and the bold spirit of the American West.

The Doc Holliday series from World Whiskey Society celebrates the legend of John Henry "Doc" Holliday — the dentist-turned-gambler-turned-gunfighter whose coolness under pressure at the O.K. Corral made him one of the most iconic figures of the Wild West. The Huckleberry Edition is the first flavored whiskey in the lineup, named for one of Holliday's most celebrated phrases. A master blender selected a classic whiskey profile and blended it with fresh huckleberry character — producing a flavored whiskey that balances richness with summer fruit brightness.

Huckleberries are wild berries native to the American West and Mountain regions — tart, sweet, and deeper in flavor than blueberries. The Huckleberry Edition captures that specific wild berry character: not artificial candy sweetness, but the juicy, slightly tangy brightness of actual huckleberry fruit meeting a smooth whiskey base.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bright tart huckleberry leads the aroma, lifted by a swirl of sweet wild berry jam. Beneath the fruit, soft vanilla and light oak emerge, giving balance and warmth.
• Palate: Juicy, slightly tangy huckleberry pops up front, quickly joined by deeper wild berry sweetness. Mid-palate brings a comforting layer of graham cracker — toasty, lightly honeyed, and pleasantly grainy. The whiskey base shows through with gentle vanilla tones and a mild oak presence.
• Finish: Smooth and medium in length, with lingering berry brightness, a touch of vanilla cream, and a faint echo of oak spice.
