Ducks Unlimited Special Edition 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

The World Whiskey Society Ducks Unlimited Special Edition 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a 2025 limited collector release produced in partnership with Ducks Unlimited, the nonprofit wetlands and waterfowl conservation organization founded in 1937 and recognized as the leading conservation group for migratory bird habitat in North America. World Whiskey Society (WWS) is known for pairing aged American whiskey with extraordinary packaging, and this edition represents one of their most elaborate presentations to date. The liquid is a 10 year Kentucky Straight Bourbon bottled at cask strength without cut or filtration, delivering a deeply layered aged bourbon profile. The bottle is sealed with a sculpted pewter flying duck bottle topper and presented inside a hand finished wooden case crafted to resemble the engraved receiver and stock of a fine shotgun, complete with intricate silver filigree metalwork. Individually numbered, each bottle is a one to one collector piece and a portion of proceeds supports Ducks Unlimited conservation work protecting waterfowl habitat across the continent. 750ml.

ABV / Proof

Tasting Notes

Color: Deep mahogany with amber highlights and heavy legs from the cask strength bottling.

Nose: Dark caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla bean with layered dried cherry, cinnamon, leather, and a soft whiff of pipe tobacco.

Palate: Full bodied and coating. Rich brown sugar, dark toffee, baked apple, and clove lead into mid palate notes of cocoa, dark cherry, and polished oak. The cask strength carries weight without harshness thanks to the 10 years of aging.

Finish: Very long and warming with lingering oak, dried fruit, and espresso. Opens dramatically with a drop or two of water.
