World Whiskey Society (WWS) has announced a continuation of its partnership with Ducks Unlimited, resulting in two limited-edition straight bourbon whiskeys, each presented in custom-designed boxes. Ducks Unlimited is recognized as the largest nonprofit organization focused on the conservation of North America’s wetlands and other habitats critical for waterfowl.
The first offering is the Ducks Unlimited Special Edition 10-Year-Old Kentucky Bourbon. This bourbon is presented in a wooden box resembling an antique hunting rifle case, featuring handcrafted details by a skilled engraver. The accompanying glass bottle showcases a Ducks Unlimited emblem and is topped with a design representing a mallard duck. This bourbon has been aged for a decade, promising a complex flavor profile that includes notes of dark chocolate, smoked hickory, dried dates, licorice, and black cherry.
The second product is the Ducks Unlimited Shotgun Shell – American Single Malt whiskey. This whiskey is encased in a red-fluted glass bottle and packaged in a metal tube designed to resemble a gun barrel. The American Single Malt whiskey features flavors of oak, dark fruit, cocoa, walnut, honey, and allspice, with a subtle smokiness in the finish. Both products are designed to appeal to whiskey collectors and enthusiasts, emphasizing the craftsmanship and tradition associated with hunting and whiskey production.
