Can you name a movie where John Wayne drinks whiskey ?
There are several like The Quiet Manquit and True Grit. It’s said that the legendary actor even worked for Tennessee whiskey when he guest appeared on the Beverly Hillbillies . The man simply loved American whiskey , even blending it himself.
So It’s no surprise to see a whiskey brand named after him. The Duke Spirit was a dream of The Duke as told by his son Ethan Wayne and today that dream is on shelves for you to try. We were lucky enough to be gifted a bottle of the Duke double barrel founders reserve from Green River Distilling Co. where the rye whiskey is contract distilled.
We hope you enjoy Jim and Mike’s review. Cheers!

Overall: These celebrity brands are a must if you’re a fan and that we are of John Wayne. They aren’t for everyone but for us this one is a buy.
