BEARFACE Triple Oak is a single grain Canadian whisky matured for seven years in ex-bourbon American oak barrels, then aged in French oak red wine casks and air-dried virgin Hungarian oak.

BEARFACE source the best single-grain Canadian corn spirit for their whisky, but see that liquid as just a blank canvas.

It’s what happens next that really matters. Elemental Ageing is the transformative process that they expose their whisky to in a variety of casks. That gives the Master Blender a palette of flavours to work with, to create delicious complexity and new bold expressions of BEARFACE.

American Oak

Our single-grain Canadian whisky is aged for 7 years in ex-bourbon American oak barrels to impart notes of honey, butter and natural vanilla.

Tasting notes:
Honey, marzipan, crème brûlée, butter and natural vanilla.

French Oak

Three vintages of heavy-red, tight-grain, French oak casks are used to impart dry fruit notes of cranberry and pear, along with a rich Canadian red color.

Tasting notes:
Dry fruits and cranberry. Subtle flavours of saffron, balsamic, apricot and a hint of pear.

Hungarian Oak

After being air-dried for three years, our virgin Hungarian oak is toasted three ways. This imparts a unique spice with rye-like notes and a gentle smoke.

Tasting notes:
Spice, black cardamom, orange peel, mandarin, brown sugar and smoke.

Then, the skill of our Master Blender, creating that smoothness, balance, long complexity of flavour and gentle spice that we all love. Each year brings different nuances can ever be quite exactly the same, but exploring the subtleties that is part of the adventure. BEARFACE is made in the wild, not in a lab.
