That's the entire premise behind Duck Club's premium tier. Where the flagship 92-proof bourbon is built for everyday sipping around the fire, High Brass is the bottle you reach for when the occasion demands more — a blend of genuinely older Kentucky straight bourbon, bottled at a substantially higher 110 proof, built for the whiskey enthusiast who doesn't mess around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe blend combines 82% five-year-old Kentucky bourbon — the same 67% corn, 23% rye, 10% malted barley mashbill that anchors the flagship expression — with 18% eight-year-old Kentucky bourbon distilled from a higher-corn, lower-rye recipe of 75% corn, 15% rye, and 10% malted barley. That extra three years of maturation on the older component, combined with the considerably higher proof, pushes the whole profile in a bolder direction. Forbes' Brad Japhe found that \"High Brass kicks up the spice notes, with rye and cardamom more pronounceable in the final formula\" relative to the standard release. Whiskey Social described it directly: \"Duck Club™ High Brass is for those who like their bourbon with a little more firepower. This higher-proof blend leans into rich, bold character and is ideal for drinkers who appreciate full-bodied whiskey.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is Duck Club's statement bottle — the one built to prove that a brand-new, celebrity-backed label can still deliver genuine substance at the top of its range. Named for the shells hunters reach for when everything's on the line, bottled at 110 proof for drinkers who want their bourbon to actually taste like something, and carrying the same waterfowl-conservation mission and Riley Green backing that defines the entire Duck Club portfolio. A serious pour, for serious customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eDuck Club \"High Brass\" is the premium-tier sibling to Duck Club's flagship 92-proof bourbon, both launched in November 2025 by Memphis-based Morningside Brands in partnership with country music star and co-founder Riley Green, with The Silent Group involved in developing the whiskey itself. Where the standard Duck Club release incorporates a wheated Indiana component for approachability, High Brass stays entirely within Kentucky, blending two straight bourbons of meaningfully greater age: 82% five-year-old Kentucky bourbon, distilled from the same 67% corn, 23% rye, and 10% malted barley mashbill used in the flagship expression, combined with 18% eight-year-old Kentucky bourbon, distilled from a higher-corn recipe of 75% corn, 15% rye, and 10% malted barley. The additional maturation on the older component and the substantially higher proof — bottled at 55% ABV \/ 110 proof, compared to the flagship's 46% ABV \/ 92 proof — together produce a bolder, more spice-forward, full-bodied whiskey. Like the rest of the Duck Club portfolio, every bottle sold supports the protection of North American wetlands, tying the brand's premium tier directly to the same waterfowl hunting heritage and conservation mission that defines the entire label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eNo numerical critic score is confirmed for this product at this time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrad Japhe, Forbes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"High Brass kicks up the spice notes with rye and cardamom more pronounceable in the final formula.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhiskey Social:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Duck Club™ High Brass is for those who like their bourbon with a little more firepower.
