Duke Bourbon 750ml

Duke Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a straight bourbon whiskey that is made by marrying together casks of bourbon that have aged for between five and ten years.

The bourbon is crafted in homage to John Wayne, whose nickname was “Duke.” Created by Ethan Wayne (Duke’s son), the bourbon’s flavor profile was made to reflect Wayne’s personal whiskey preferences, which were preserved for over five decades and were only recently discovered. “My father thrived on new projects and adventures and he always loved a great glass of whiskey at the end of the day,” says Ethan Wayne. “Our goal with the Duke was to make a Bourbon that embodies the spirit, strength and richness my father personified while realizing his unfulfilled dream of distilling fine spirits.”

The Style of DUKE Bourbon was inspired by bottles from John Waynes personal whiskey collection, preserved for over 50 years and only recently discovered. Meticulously blended to reflect The Dukes preferred whiskey flavor profile from tasting notes left behind during the time he was planning his own distillery. Distilled the old-fashioned way; hand crafted in small batches and aged in new hand built heavily charred American Oak barrels. A selection of 5 to 10 year old whiskeys are chosen barrel by barrel and blended by hand before the DUKE Bourbon reaches the bottle.
