Together With Ducks Unlimited, World Whiskey Society Unveils Two Limited Edition Straight Bourbon Whiskeys: The Special 10-Year-Old Kentucky Bourbon and Shotgun Shell

  The limited edition collector’s items are now available nationwide and online

NEW YORK, NY March 25, 2025 World Whiskey Society (WWS), known for scouring the globe to create the world’s most interesting whiskeys, continues their partnership with Ducks Unlimited with two one-of-a-kind straight bourbon whiskeys complete with their own bespoke boxes. Ducks Unlimited is the world’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving North America’s continually disappearing wetlands, grasslands and other waterfowl habitats.

"We are excited to introduce two new Ducks Unlimited collaborations, sharing unique whiskey experiences with the world," says Alex Kogan, CEO of World Whiskey Society. "We look forward to whiskey enthusiasts and collectors adding these exceptional Ducks Unlimited releases to their collections."

The Ducks Unlimited Special Edition 10-Year-Old Kentucky Bourbon is a limited release in the World Whiskey Society and Ducks Unlimited collection. Unveil a sleek, wooden box that resembles an antique hunting rifle case with handcrafted detailing designed by a renowned rifle engraver. Open the box to reveal a bespoke glass bottle adorned with a Ducks Unlimited-inspired emblem shimmering with embossed emerald and gold hues. Atop the bottle sits a majestic mallard leaping from a pool of rippling water. It is a sensory experience that sets the stage for the exceptional bourbon within.

The Special Edition is more than a beautiful tribute. Just as a skilled hunter waits patiently for the perfect shot, the Kentucky Straight Bourbon Special Edition embodies the art of pure dedication, aged in barrels for 10 years to craft a full-bodied bourbon unlike any other. Each sip rewards that patience with a symphony of flavors, a testament to the pursuit of quality. Hints of dark chocolate and smoked hickory intertwine with dried dates, licorice, and dashes of black cherry. The dark sugars and molasses add a touch of complexity to create a truly unique profile that begs to be savored.

The Ducks Unlimited Shotgun Shell – American Single Malt whiskey pays homage to the heritage and tradition of the hunt, with a focus on fine craftsmanship, authenticity, and elegance. Inspired by a shotgun shell, admire the bespoke, red-fluted glass bottle and the custom engraving on the cap, encapsulated in a gun barrel-inspired metal tube case.

As for the whiskey inside, this NAS American Single Malt whiskey includes notes of oak, dark fruit, cocoa, chocolate, walnut, honey, and allspice, complete with a subtle smokiness at the finish. Inspired by the signature look of a shotgun shell and nestled within a Gun Barrel case, admire this amazing American Single Malt encased within a stunning, bespoke red glass bottle. The smooth character of the whiskey embodies notes of oak, dark fruit, cocoa, chocolate, walnut, honey, and allspice finishing with a subtle smokiness that lingers on the tongue. The Shotgun Shell is truly a one-of-a-kind collector’s item and a guaranteed conversation starter on any bar cart or shelf.

The Ducks Unlimited Special Edition 10-Year-Old Kentucky Bourbon retails for $299.00, while the Ducks Unlimited Shotgun Shell – American Single Malt is available for $119.00.
