World Whiskey Society Ducks Unlimited Duck Bourbon Whiskey
World Whiskey Society Ducks Unlimited Duck Bourbon Whiskey is a 100-proof (50% ABV) Indiana straight bourbon, 750mL, presented in a handcrafted ceramic decanter sculpted and hand-painted as a mallard duck in flight. Another Ducks Unlimited conservation collaboration, it's available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
World Whiskey Society sources and bottles limited whiskeys with themed, collector-grade presentations, and the Duck Bourbon is the line's most sculptural release: an Indiana NAS straight bourbon — corn-forward with rye and malted barley — inside a ceramic mallard worthy of a lodge mantel. A portion of proceeds supports Ducks Unlimited's wetlands and waterfowl conservation across North America.
Tasting notes (retailer consensus): warm vanilla and toasted oak with subtle cinnamon and honeyed sweetness on the nose; soft entry of caramel and vanilla, mid-palate of toasted oak, baking spice, and citrus rind; medium-length warming finish of lingering oak, caramel, and cinnamon with a silky mouthfeel.
Why buy: It doubles as décor — the mallard decanter looks like a hunt-club heirloom long after the bourbon is gone. At 100 proof the NAS Indiana juice has real weight for sipping neat or over a cube. More themed releases at World Whiskey Society at Del Mesa Liquor.
FAQ — people also ask:
Q: Is the duck bottle really ceramic?
A: Per retailers, each decanter is individually sculpted and hand-painted ceramic depicting a mallard duck mid-flight — the bottle is the collector's draw here.
Q: What bourbon is inside the Duck Bourbon decanter?
A: A 100-proof non-age-statement Indiana straight bourbon, aged a minimum of two years in new charred oak per federal "straight" requirements.
Q: Is this the same as the other Ducks Unlimited bourbon?
A: No — WWS sells several DU releases, including a 10-year Kentucky bourbon in a rifle-case box. The Duck Bourbon is the distinct 100-proof Indiana expression in the ceramic mallard decanter. Compare more whiskey gift sets at Del Mesa Liquor.
