The Duke spirits range pays homage to legendary actor John Wayne! Fondly nicknamed The Duke by loved ones, he was known to have a passion for good quality drinks, and even had dreams of producing his own line of spirits. Armed with an archive of notes and bottles that the late actor had stashed away, his son Ethan Wayne now honours his father's dreams, working to recreate those favourite styles of decades past. This straight Kentucky bourbon takes inspiration from a 1962 recipe, from a bottle kept in John Wayne's archive. With a mash bill of predominantly American bent corn, alongside additions of rye and sixth row barley, it's distilled and aged in Kentucky for at least five years in heavily charred new American oak barrels.
Toasted almonds and mellow oak char join waves of vanilla and caramel, with a dusting of nutmeg.
Butterscotch and charred oak join a flash of peppery warmth, with sweet notes of toffee popcorn, and silky oaken vanilla.
A sweet and spicy finish, with robust oak and a touch of root ginger.
