Bearface is a corn-based, sourced whisky that is aged at least seven years in ex-bourbon American oak barrels in Ontario, then travels to B.C. to spend time in former wine barrels from Mission Hill Family Estate Winery, and is finished in Hungarian oak, which adds spicy rye-like notes. Bearface blenders also make use of the Canadian-only, one-eleven rule which allows the blending of 10 parts whisky and 1 part other spirit, wine or sherry. This allows the blenders to introduce 'new tastes' and smooth out some younger, vitalized whiskies.
