Duck Club High Brass Bourbon

Duck Club High Brass Bourbon doesn't just slap a waterfowl on the label and call it heritage—this is a bourbon built around conservation, with a portion of proceeds supporting wetland restoration through partnerships with groups like Ducks Unlimited. The brand was founded by outdoorsmen who wanted their whiskey habit to align with their land ethic, and High Brass represents the elevated expression in their lineup, a reference to the premium shotshell loads hunters reach for when they need extra range and stopping power. The bourbon itself is bottled at a higher proof than the standard Duck Club offering, giving it the backbone to stand up in cocktails or deliver more intensity neat. Expect a grain-forward mash bill with corn sweetness up front, layered with baking spice, vanilla, and a touch of char. There's a pleasant warmth on the finish without crossing into harsh territory, making it approachable for newer bourbon drinkers while still offering enough complexity to keep seasoned sippers interested. The higher proof also means it opens up beautifully with a few drops of water or a large ice cube, revealing softer caramel and oak notes underneath. This is a bottle that makes sense around a fire pit, whether you're breaking down the day's hunt or just pretending you were outdoors instead of stuck in meetings. It pairs well with smoked meats, sharp cheddar, and anything cooked over open flame. The richer profile also holds its own against dark chocolate or pecan pie if you're pouring after dinner. For bourbon drinkers who care where their dollars go, Duck Club offers more transparency than most: you're not just buying into a story, you're funding habitat work that keeps flyways intact and wetlands thriving. At Off Premise, we appreciate spirits that do more than taste good, and High Brass delivers both in the glass and in the field.
