Bearface Whisky Wilderness Series Matsutake Release 01 is owned by Mark Anthony Wine and Spirits. The company does not have its own distillery for making whisky so to make their Bearface brand they begin with Canadian single grain whisky from an undisclosed outside source. In creating their Matsuktake limited edition whisky, they first mature the whisky in ex-wine casks and sherry pipes in shipping containers that have been placed in the Canadian wilderness in a process they call ‘Elemental Ageing’. The whisky is then finished in a Cask which contains Matsutake Mushrooms.
To write this review I was working with a small sample which had been sent to me as part of a Whisky judging competition. The sample was judged without knowing what it was and my brief notes for the spirit are the basis for my scoring. After the competition I re-tasted the spirit to confirm the tasting notes and added to them as required.
