Where Whisky Meets The Wild: BEARFACE Releases “Wild Air”

May 28, 2025

Featured, Sips

Canada’s most adventurous whisky brand is back with a bold new expression: BEARFACE Wild Air. The third release in the brand’s acclaimed Wilderness Series, this limited-edition whisky captures the crisp, invigorating feeling of standing on a mountaintop with the wind on your face and the vast Canadian wilderness below.

Inspired by a high-altitude hike through the North, Master Blender Andres Faustinelli set out to recreate that moment of awe in a glass. The result? A unique blend aged using BEARFACE’s signature Elemental Aging process—think Hungarian oak casks, birch bark–infused ex-Viognier barrels, and maple syrup brûlée casks proofed with fresh maple tree water. With notes of fresh botanicals, mineral sweetness, and a lightly smoky finish, Wild Air is both an escape and an invitation.

Serve it neat or try it in this refreshing cocktail, perfect for summer sipping. —Vita Daily
