Duck Club Bourbon has started showing up on shelves across Arkansas, marking the first wave of distribution for one of the newest lifestyle-driven whiskey brands to enter the bourbon scene. For Arkansas bourbon hunters, outdoorsmen, and Riley Green fans, this release brings a fresh blend with a strong story \u2014 and a growing buzz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a deep dive into what Duck Club Bourbon is<\/strong>, who created it<\/strong>, how it\u2019s made<\/strong>, what expressions are hitting Arkansas<\/strong>, and why this launch is getting attention nationwide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd43 What Is Duck Club Bourbon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Duck Club Bourbon is a new whiskey brand created by country music star Riley Green<\/strong> in partnership with Morningside Brands<\/strong>, a whiskey company focused on premium, lifestyle-driven spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launched in late 2025, Duck Club Bourbon pays homage to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • America’s waterfowl hunting traditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Land stewardship and wetland conservation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Rural, outdoors-focused communities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The camaraderie built around campfires, duck blinds, and early morning hunts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The brand is marketed as \u201cauthentic whiskey for those who feel at home in the wild,\u201d blending country-music culture with hunting heritage \u2014 a combination that resonates strongly across Arkansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    \ud83e\udd86 Brand Background: The Story Behind Duck Club<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Duck Club was built around three pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Riley Green\u2019s Outdoors Identity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Riley Green grew up in a hunting family and has long been involved in conservation, duck clubs, and outdoor sporting culture. The bourbon line extends his personal brand \u2014 one built around small-town values, hunting camps, and modern country lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Support for Wetland Conservation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Duck Club Bourbon promotes respecting and protecting North America\u2019s wetlands. Their branding references:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Conservation ethics<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Habitat preservation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Sustainable hunting traditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      This positioning makes Duck Club unique among celebrity bourbons, placing it firmly within an outdoorsman identity rather than pure entertainment branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. Transparency About Sourcing & Blending<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Rather than hiding the blend, Duck Club openly shares mash bills and sourcing locations<\/strong> \u2014 something bourbon drinkers increasingly value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The transparency also reinforces the brand philosophy of honesty, heritage, and authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      \ud83e\udd43 Duck Club Bourbon Composition (Flagship 92 Proof Bottling)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The standard Duck Club Bourbon (the bottle most likely to appear in Arkansas stores first) is a 92-proof blend of straight bourbons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      88% \u2014 5-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Distilled in Clermont, Kentucky<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Mash bill: 67% corn, 23% rye, 10% malted barley<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Brings spice, caramel, and traditional Kentucky character<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        12% \u2014 6-Year Wheated Bourbon (Indiana)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Mash bill: 51% corn, 45% wheat, 4% malted barley<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Adds softness, sweetness, and a round finish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          The result is a balanced, campfire-friendly bourbon that appeals to both new bourbon drinkers and seasoned collectors looking for a smooth everyday pour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          \ud83d\udd25 Higher-Proof Variant: Duck Club \u201cHigh Brass\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          In addition to the flagship release, some Arkansas stores are starting to receive the High Brass 110-proof expression<\/strong>, a more robust blend featuring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • 5\u20138 year Kentucky bourbons<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Fuller spice<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Longer finish<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • A slightly elevated price point (~$39.99\u2013$42.99 depending on the retailer)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            High Brass is positioned as the \u201cserious bourbon drinker\u201d option \u2014 one that still matches the outdoor heritage theme but brings more punch to the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            \ud83d\udce6 Duck Club Distribution: Why It\u2019s Appearing in Arkansas Now<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            When Duck Club officially launched, it selected seven initial rollout states<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Arkansas<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Tennessee<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Texas<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Georgia<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Florida<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Missouri<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • South Carolina<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Arkansas\u2019s inclusion is no surprise \u2014 the state has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • A large hunting community<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Strong country-music fan base<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Rapidly growing bourbon culture<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • A market especially responsive to lifestyle-driven whiskey brands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Over the past week, retailers in Little Rock, Central Arkansas, and Northwest Arkansas<\/strong> have begun receiving initial shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                \ud83d\uded2 Price Point (Arkansas Prices So Far)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Duck Club 92-Proof Bourbon:<\/strong> ~$29.99<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Duck Club High Brass (110-Proof):<\/strong> ~$39.99 \u2013 $42.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  This puts Duck Club in the competitive \u201cvalue premium\u201d segment alongside brands like Wild Turkey 101, Chattanooga Whiskey 91\/111, and Four Roses Small Batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n\n\n\n

                  \u2b50 What Makes Duck Club Stand Out?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  \u2714 Celebrity brand with a legitimate<\/em> outdoors identity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  \u2714 Transparency in blending<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  \u2714 Reasonable price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  \u2714 Strong appeal to Arkansas hunters & rural communities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  \u2714 Early availability in the state<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  \u2714 Great branding and shelf presence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  This is one celebrity-backed bourbon that isn\u2019t simply a name slapped on a bottle \u2014 the story, theme, and flavor profile align well with its target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n\n\n\n

                  \ud83e\udd8c Conclusion: Duck Club Bourbon Arrives in Arkansas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  Duck Club Bourbon is officially here in Arkansas, and bourbon hunters can expect to see both the flagship 92-proof and High Brass 110-proof bottles showing up in more stores throughout November and December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  With its outdoors-focused story, transparent blending, and connection to Riley Green, Duck Club is poised to become a popular choice across the state \u2014 especially as hunting season ramps up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
