Bearface BEAR-BON Charred Barrel Whisky

Bearface BEAR-BON Charred Barrel Whisky is a distinctly Canadian take on the rich, full-bodied character associated with southern-style whiskey. Crafted from three Canadian grains - corn, malted barley, and rye - each component is distilled separately and aged independently before blending. Its distinctive barrel program uses two-year-seasoned and toasted French oak barrels previously used for winemaking in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, which are seasoned with Elementally Aged whisky and then hand-charred in Quebec. The result brings together sweet corn, caramel and vanilla with toasted malt, aromatic rye spice, and charred oak character.

Food Pairing: Smoked brisket, barbecue pork ribs, grilled steak, maple-glazed bacon, aged cheddar, roasted pecans, bread pudding, and dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: Full-bodied and smooth with confectionery sweet corn, caramel, vanilla, toasted malt, warm spice, and aromatic oak.

Nose: Caramel and vanilla with orchard fruit, honey, delicate floral notes, toasted grain, and warm spice.

Palate: Sweet corn and classic vanilla-oak character lead into caramel and deeply toasted malted barley, with rye adding aromatic spice and structure.

Finish: Long and warming with rye spice, toasted oak, caramel sweetness, and a distinctly dry finish.
