Bearface Wilderness Series 01 Matsutake Canadian Whisky

Maker Notes

Matsutake Edition. Born of the Canadian wilderness.

Elementally Aged for a bolder, smoother flavour and infused with wild Matsutake, for a unique umami finish. This BEARFACE Wilderness Series edition is a one-of-a-kind whisky blend.

The Matsutake (or pine mushroom) is a unique wild ingredient. Rare around the world, but abundant here in Bear Country.

Our first limited edition batch uses foraged Matsutake mushrooms, that are cask-infused with selected BEARFACE whisky to release the subtle tastes and aromas.

To create this expression, we mature our whisky in hand-selected ex-wine casks and sherry pipes inside repurposed shipping containers in the Canadian wilderness. We call this ‘Elemental Ageing’, and it gives our whisky a bolder, smoother flavour.
