Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a Kentucky straight bourbon built on a corn-dominant mash bill and aged in new charred oak, bottled at 88 proof (44% ABV). It tastes like it: charred oak and a little smoke up front, roasted nuts underneath, then vanilla, caramel and nutmeg filling in the sweetness. On the palate, warm black pepper and toasted nuts keep things balanced, and the finish leaves a robust, lingering sweetness. That proof sits in a comfortable middle ground, so it suits someone building a first bourbon shelf as well as the regular who wants a dependable pour for an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. It also carries a story. Duke Spirits made it as a tribute to John Wayne, celebrating his devotion to his craft, friends, family and America, which makes it an easy pick for fans of his films. We carry it because it delivers a full-bodied, spice-and-oak bourbon profile that works neat, over ice or in a cocktail, with a personality that stands apart on the shelf.

- Grilled meats and barbecue — The charred oak, smoke and black pepper in this bourbon echo the char and spice of food cooked over fire.
- Smoked nuts and artisanal cheeses — Its roasted, toasted-nut character and caramel sweetness match savory snacks and rich cheeses.
- John Wayne movie night — A full-bodied pour with vanilla, caramel and pepper spice fits an evening raising a glass to the legacy that inspired the bottle.
