Next Century Spirits Launches Bear Fight Kentucky Reserve
Bear Fight, a whiskey brand made by Next Century Spirits, has announced the launch of Bear Fight Kentucky Reserve, a bourbon finished in reposado Tequila barrels.
To create Bear Fight Kentucky Reserve, Next Century Spirits sourced a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley mash) aged for a minimum of three years, then finished it in ex-reposado Tequila barrels and bottled it at 45% ABV.
Bear Fight Kentucky Reserve is described as having aromas of “toasted oak and vanilla with a touch of cloves and a hint of black pepper.” The palate exhibits notes of “vanilla and caramel, followed by a subtle peppery spice.” It finishes with “a subtle smokiness that lingers long after the last drop has disappeared from your glass.”
Bear Fight Kentucky Reserve carries a suggested retail price of $34.99 and is available through BearFightWhiskey.com and at select retailers in CT, KY, IL, MN, and NJ. Additional markets will roll out later this year into next.
