We Want a Bottle of the New ‘Bearface’ Triple Oak Canadian Whisky

We’re a pretty satisfied bunch, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t covetous. Sometimes we see things out there that we just must have. Cool Things We Want is an archive of those earthly desires.

Local company Mark Anthony Brands has developed a new whisky called Bearface and we want a bottle of what they’re getting started with.

It’s a small batch, limited edition, 42.5% ABV ‘Triple Oak’ Canadian Whisky that’s aged seven years in bourbon barrels made of American oak before being finished in wine-soaked French oak and virgin Hungarian oak under the guidance of Master Blender Andres Faustinelli at Mission Hill Family Estate Winery.

It’s available now at local liquor stores for $39.95.
