Doc Holliday 12 Year Bourbon - The Last of the Lost Barrels - 135 Proof Barrel

Bobby Says: This is one of the best whiskeys, if not the best, that has ever graced a Blind Barrels lineup. From the moment I first tasted it, I knew it was something special. Bottled at a staggering 135 proof (67.5% ABV) and aged for 12 years, it somehow delivers incredible intensity without sacrificing balance. Even crazier is the story behind it. These barrels were never supposed to become a 12-year bourbon. After the passing of distiller Carlos Lovell, they sat untouched for years before continuing their aging journey through Texas and back to Georgia. Sometimes the best things happen when life doesn't go according to plan, and this whiskey is living proof.

On the nose, you'll find dark caramel, maple syrup, toasted pecans, leather, and seasoned oak. The first sip explodes with brown sugar, molasses, dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, and baking spice before settling into an unbelievably long, rich finish that keeps evolving with every sip. Despite the proof, it never drinks hot. It drinks bold, layered, and remarkably refined. As the Last of the Lost Barrels, this is the final chapter of a whiskey that can never be made again. If there has ever been a bottle worthy of slowing down, pouring another glass, and appreciating every sip, this is it.
