Doc Holliday Huckleberry 750ML

Doc Holliday Huckleberry 750ML is a Kentucky-made American whiskey infused with natural huckleberry flavor, bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof) in a 750ml bottle. In a flavored whiskey category dominated by honey, cinnamon, and peach, this expression carves out uncommon ground with the wild, intensely fruity character of huckleberry — a small berry native to the mountainous American West.

Production & Heritage

Doc Holliday Huckleberry is produced in Kentucky under the World Whiskey Society label, a brand known for its range of aged and flavored American whiskey expressions. The base is an American whiskey infused with natural huckleberry flavoring, resulting in a 70-proof spirit designed to balance fruit-forward sweetness with underlying grain and oak character. While the broader Doc Holliday lineup includes age-stated bourbons — with the 8-Year and 10-Year expressions earning Silver medals at the 2023 ADI International Spirits Competition — the Huckleberry variant focuses on accessibility and flavor rather than extended maturation.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright, tart huckleberry rises immediately, followed by sugar-sweet wild berry jam. Beneath the fruit, soft vanilla and light oak add warmth and a gentle baking-spice quality reminiscent of cinnamon-berry sugar.

Taste: Juicy, slightly tangy huckleberry leads the entry, opening into deeper wild berry sweetness through the mid-palate. A comforting layer of toasty, lightly honeyed graham cracker emerges alongside soft whiskey grain, mild oak, and subtle dark fruit undertones that keep the sweetness grounded.

Finish: Medium in length, with lingering berry sweetness and gentle warmth. Soft wood spice closes things out without harshness, leaving a clean berry impression.

How to Drink Doc Holliday Huckleberry

At 70 proof, this whiskey drinks smoothly neat or over a single large ice cube, which tempers the sweetness and lets the oak backbone come through. It also works well as a flavorful base in mixed drinks. A Huckleberry Smash with muddled lemon and fresh mint highlights the berry brightness. A Berry Old Fashioned — substituting this for standard bourbon — pairs the huckleberry with orange peel and a dash of Angostura for added complexity. A simple Huckleberry Lemonade with fresh-squeezed lemon juice and soda water makes for an easy warm-weather serve.

Best For

Why Doc Holliday Huckleberry?

The strongest case for this whiskey is its uncommon flavor direction. Huckleberries are wild, intensely flavored berries that simply do not appear in most flavored whiskey lineups, giving this expression a genuine point of difference on a shelf crowded with honey and cinnamon bottlings. The Kentucky whiskey base provides enough grain and oak structure to remind you it is still whiskey, not just a berry liqueur. At 70 proof, it sits in a drinkable sweet spot — strong enough for cocktail backbone, mild enough for easy sipping. For anyone exploring the Doc Holliday range, the Huckleberry serves as a flavorful entry point before stepping into the brand's more serious age-stated bourbon releases.
