World Whiskey Society Ducks Unlimited Special Edition 10 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey
Kentucky | 750mL | 52% ABV (104 proof) | 10 Years Old | Cask Strength, Limited Edition — World Whiskey Society Ducks Unlimited Special Edition 10 Year Old is the second collaboration between the independent whiskey bottler (founded 2020, CEO Alex Kogan) and Ducks Unlimited Inc. — the world's largest nonprofit dedicated to conserving North America's wetlands, grasslands and waterfowl habitats, 18 million-plus acres conserved since 1937. A Kentucky Straight Bourbon aged ten years in new charred American oak, bottled at cask strength, presented in a bespoke lacquered wooden case resembling an antique hunting rifle case, with an embossed emerald-and-gold bottle, inlaid clover emblem and age placard, and a mallard-duck topper. Individually numbered. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
This is a classic well-aged bourbon with intense depth: the official notes cite a medley of spices, dark chocolate, smoked hickory, dried date, licorice, black cherry, dark sugars and molasses — the dark chocolate and smoked hickory intertwining with dried dates and licorice, the dark sugars adding complexity. For whisky collectors, the rifle-case presentation and DU conservation tie-in make it a display piece that happens to pour at 104 proof.
