Duck Club High Brass Bourbon Whiskey
Duck Club High Brass Bourbon Whiskey is the higher-proof expression from Duck Club Bourbon, the Memphis-based brand co-founded by country star Riley Green that puts a share of every bottle toward North American wetlands conservation as the official bourbon of Ducks Unlimited. Named for the high-brass shotgun shells duck hunters reach for when they need more punch, it is a blend of straight bourbon whiskeys bottled at 110 proof (55% ABV) in a 750mL bottle, with the full recipe disclosed on the label: 80 percent five-year-plus Kentucky bourbon from a 75 percent corn, 13 percent rye, 12 percent malted barley mash bill, plus 10 percent eight-year-plus and 10 percent nine-year-plus Kentucky bourbon from a 75 percent corn, 15 percent rye, 10 percent malted barley mash. It won gold at the Ascot Awards. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

High Brass, Higher Proof
The flagship Duck Club pours easy; High Brass is built for drinkers who want the same outdoors-first bourbon with more weight behind it. The older, higher-rye components and the extra proof push the spice forward over the caramel and oak of the flagship, in the brand's flat flask-style bottle with the hunter-and-dog label. Every bottle supports Ducks Unlimited wetlands work. Explore more bourbon whiskey and the wider American whiskey shelf at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Reviewers note pronounced rye and cardamom spice over dark caramel, molasses and toasted grain, with charred oak, orange peel and a touch of leather. The palate builds into brown butter toffee, black pepper spice and dark fruit, with hints of dark chocolate, and the finish is long and warm — oak spice, caramelized sugar and lingering cherry.
How to Enjoy
Built for neat pours and spirit-forward cocktails that need a bourbon that holds its own — an Old Fashioned or Manhattan at 110 proof does not get lost. A few drops of water open up the fruit. See more whisky and gift sets at Del Mesa.
