Products You May Like

Bearface is a comparatively new Canadian whisky model with a considerably difficult backstory. First, the title, Bearface, comes from the truth that the whisky is claimed to be aged in “Bear Nation.” Extra particularly, it’s aged in delivery containers situated in British Columbia the place they do have their fair proportion of bears, however extra importantly, the setting experiences reasonably intense temperature swings that contribute to the “Elemental Getting older” course of used to mature this whisky. Bearface begins life as a 7-year-old 100% corn whisky sourced from an unspecified Canadian distiller and aged in ex-bourbon American oak casks. It’s then completed twice, as soon as in a mixture of French oak, ex-wine casks and eventually in a toasted Hungarian oak cask that was first air dried for 3 full years. Ideas observe.

For a whisky dubbed Bearface (with claw marks on the bottle, no much less), you’d count on a extra aggressive first impression, however the aroma is surprisingly mild and candy. There’s an enormous sweet corn factor right here but in addition one thing virtually akin to rum with a mixture of darkish brown sugar and gentle, barely rubbery crimson fruit notes. Secondary notes of vanilla and delicate oak solely add to that candy and delicate presentation. The palate is extra assertive and extra nuanced with a pleasant front-end spice and balanced, honeyed sweetness. The corn whisky at its core has constructed a stable basis for notes of stewed darkish berries, cocoa, cigar wrapper, and spice cupboard. The preliminary wood-driven spice dissolves gently right into a end of Demerara sugar and vanilla bean that once more bears some resemblance to a youthful aged rum. A stable Canadian whisky for sipping or cocktailing, particularly for the cash.

85 proof.
