Dunce Bourbon Whiskey from Art in the Age Spirits is a smooth and versatile whiskey aged for five years. It proudly embraces its sourced spirit origins, blending with neutral grain spirit produced in the Midwest. Dunce playfully mocks craft spirit brands that share the same MGP (Midwest Grain Products) makeup but often disguise it under the guise of being wholly craft-made. Named after the 13th-century philosopher John Duns Scotus, Dunce Bourbon Whiskey delivers a medium-bodied, column-distilled bourbon experience that balances sweetness with grassy rye notes.
Dunce Bourbon Whiskey presents a delightful journey of flavors, starting with a soft vanillic creaminess derived from its four years in #3 char oak barrels. The aroma greets you with warm butterscotch and red apple while the palate offers an initial burst of sweet baking spices. This sweetness gradually gives way to a more grainy backbone, ensuring the corn flavor never overwhelms. The slight spiciness of rye and a wisp of thyme add complexity, culminating in a medium-length finish characterized by a balanced oak component and a hint of cream soda softness.
The playful branding and rich history behind the name intrigue this already compelling spirit. Dunce Bourbon Whiskey stands out not only for its taste but also for its unique approach to celebrating sourced spirits without pretense. With an ABV of 40% and an 80-proof rating, this bourbon is perfect for those who appreciate a well-crafted and honest whiskey.
Available in a 750 mL bottle for $34.99, Dunce Bourbon Whiskey offers an accessible price point for both bourbon enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The medium-bodied profile, combined with its versatile flavor notes, makes it an excellent choice for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite bourbon cocktail.
