Ducks Unlimited Shotgun Shell American Single Malt Whiskey

Ducks Unlimited Shotgun Shell American Single Malt Whiskey is a collaboration release between World Whiskey Society and Ducks Unlimited, the wetlands conservation nonprofit founded in 1937. It's the flagship bottling in a three-part Ducks Unlimited series that also includes a Mallard decanter and a 10 Year Special Edition. The whiskey ships in a bespoke red-fluted glass bottle styled after a shotgun shell, capped in engraved gold and packed inside a black metal tube shaped like a shotgun barrel and embossed 'Single Barrel Select by Ducks Unlimited.' The liquid is a no-age-statement American single malt, distilled from 100% malted barley at Scissortail Distillery in Moore, Oklahoma, and aged in charred American oak.

The whiskey pours a deep amber and opens with cedar, candied orange peel, almond, cereal grain, and a trace of anise. On the palate, oak and dark fruit give way to cocoa, walnut, honey, and allspice, finishing long and gently smoky as orange peel and cedar linger.

The shotgun-shell bottle and barrel-shaped tin make this one a standout on a bar cart or as a gift for anyone who hunts, collects conservation releases, or just appreciates American single malt. Pair it with the rest of Liquor Geeks' American single malt and craft whiskey selection to round out a collection. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.
