Bear Fight Orchard & Vineyard

Bear Fight Orchard & Vine Bourbon adds a fruity, elegant facet to the Bear Fight range.

This bottling combines the distinctive style of a Kentucky bourbon with exceptional barrel aging, creating a balance of depth, fruitiness, and accessibility.

Orchard & Vine Bourbon is finished in barrels that previously held Calvados—a French apple and pear brandy—and port wine. This combination gives the whiskey a complex aroma, in which fruity notes and warm spices harmoniously complement the typical Bear Fight character. The result is a bourbon that appeals to whisky enthusiasts and is also ideal for relaxed moments of enjoyment.

On the nose, Orchard & Vine Bourbon is comparatively light and inviting. Dark, dried fruits and ripe cherries meet a deep, sweet base. Hints of licorice, molasses, and syrupy sweetness lend the bouquet additional depth and warmth.

On the palate, the whiskey initially appears light and smooth, before a subtle spiciness of black pepper emerges. Roasted barrel notes combine with dark cherry and a subtle sweetness typical of port wine. As it develops, a gently oily mouthfeel emerges, elegantly carrying the aromas without weighing them down.

The finish is medium to long and pleasantly warming. Dark butterscotch, hints of pecan pie, and a subtle, almost bittersweet note ensure a balanced and lasting finish.

Bear Fight Orchard & Vine Bourbon represents the playful, modern side of Bear Fight: fruity, spicy, and complex—a bourbon that is impressive on its own, but also provides an exciting base for new, creative cocktail interpretations—and not just in the fall.
