Duck Club High Brass 110 Proof Bourbon

Duck Club High Brass 110 Proof Bourbon is a robust American bourbon that commands attention with its elevated proof. Bottled at 55% ABV, this bourbon is crafted for those who appreciate the intensity and depth that a higher proof provides. This bourbon is rooted in the quintessential characteristics of its category, offering a rich tapestry of flavors that bourbon enthusiasts will find both familiar and intriguing. Expect a bold introduction of grain, where the sweetness of corn is beautifully underscored by the warmth of rye spice. The oak influence is prominent, imparting notes of caramelized sugar and a whisper of char, while a trace of vanilla weaves through the palate, softening the bourbon's muscular profile. The finish, long and warming, carries a subtle hint of smoke, adding complexity to each sip. Given its high proof, High Brass shines when served neat in a Glencairn glass, which allows its potent aromas to be fully appreciated. For those who prefer a slightly tempered experience, a few drops of water or serving it on the rocks in a sturdy rocks glass can open up additional layers and soften the initial heat, enhancing its nuanced flavors. This bourbon also stands up exceptionally well in classic cocktails. It forms a robust backbone for an Old Fashioned, where its spice and oak notes marry beautifully with bitters and a touch of sugar. It also makes a powerful base for a Manhattan, holding its own against sweet vermouth and the herbal complexity of bitters. Duck Club High Brass 110 Proof Bourbon is a bold choice for the adventurous whiskey drinker, offering a vibrant exploration of what a high-proof bourbon can deliver. Its hearty character makes it an ideal companion for a range of culinary pairings, from smoked meats to aged cheeses, enhancing the dining experience with its deep and resonant flavors.
