A New Frontier in Bourbon: Bear Fight’s Kentucky Reserve
As a whiskey enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for innovative expressions that push the boundaries of traditional bourbon. That’s why I’m excited to share my thoughts on Bear Fight’s latest release, Kentucky Reserve - a game-changing bourbon that’s taking the industry by storm.
A Bold Experiment
Bear Fight, the brainchild of Seth MacFarlane, has been making waves in the whiskey world since its debut in 2022. Their initial release, an American Single Malt, set the tone for the brand’s commitment to experimentation and innovation. Now, with the launch of Kentucky Reserve, Bear Fight is venturing into uncharted territory by finishing their bourbon in ex-reposado tequila barrels.
A Mashbill Like No Other
The Kentucky Reserve bourbon boasts a unique mashbill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley. This unconventional blend is then finished in reposado tequila barrels, resulting in a rich, complex flavor profile that’s both familiar and excitingly new. Bottled at 45% ABV, this bourbon is sure to appeal to fans of both bourbon and tequila.
A New Era in Whiskey
According to Anthony Moniello, co-CEO of Next Century Spirits, “We wanted to craft an innovative bourbon that allowed us to tap into two growing liquor categories.” By leveraging ex-reposado barrels, Bear Fight is not only pushing the boundaries of bourbon but also bridging the gap between two popular spirits.
Availability and Pricing
Bear Fight Kentucky Reserve is available at select liquor stores in Connecticut, Kentucky, Illinois, Minnesota, and New Jersey, as well as online. With a suggested retail price of $34.99, this bourbon is an affordable luxury that’s sure to fly off shelves.
