Inspired by the writings of American author Hunter S. Thompson, his love of Bourbon and Americana, this whisky brand was created by brewer BrewDog. It the first Scotch whisky that the Scottish producers, better known for its extensive line of beers, have released.
Uncle Duke’s was aged in heavily charred, brand new virgin American oak. Despite it being a single grain Scotch whisky, there is intended to be huge bourbon influences and a definite Kentucky personality in this self-proclaimed trans-Atlantic bastardisation.
While the distillery behind this whisky is undisclosed, we do know that it didn't come from BrewDog's Lone Wolf distillery in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, opened in 2016.
BBQ charcoal and thick vanilla licks lead over soft oak and a little coconut.
Through more vanilla comes runny caramel, sweet cereals and a prickle of fizzy oak spices. Bounty bar and a little candied peel are present too.
A good length, with a little honey among the lingering vanilla.

I liked it a lot.
disgusting tasted like industrial spirit that had been carried in a pine bucket from the still to bottling
