We’ve often written about releases from the World Whiskey Society. This is because the brand launches unique and interesting whiskeys sourced from all corners of the globe. Its newest releases are no different. That’s right, instead of launching one new whiskey, it’s dropping a pair of straight bourbons made in collaboration with Ducks Unlimited.

The Ducks Unlimited Special Edition 10-Year-Old Kentucky Bourbon was matured for a decade and (according to the brand) features notes of dark chocolate, hickory, dried fates, licorice, black cherry, and molasses.

The Ducks Unlimited Shotgun is an American Single Malt whiskey bottled in a vessel that looks like a shotgun shell. According to the brand, it features notes of oak, dark fruit, cocoa, chocolate, walnut, honey, allspice, and light smoke.

“We are excited to introduce two new Ducks Unlimited collaborations, sharing unique whiskey experiences with the world,” said Alex Kogan, CEO of the World Whiskey Society.

“We look forward to whiskey enthusiasts and collectors adding these exceptional Ducks Unlimited releases to their collections.”

Whiskey in a glass

So, you splurged and bought that expensive bottle of whiskey you’ve eyed every time you stopped by your local liquor store to grab a new bottle of Elijah Craig Small Batch or Knob Creek 9 Year. If I’ve learned anything in the almost 20 years I’ve been writing professionally about alcohol, it’s that good things (whiskey) come to those who wait.

Well, I'll tell you what you never do with that expensive whiskey.
