Yes, bearcat is a real word. It's a nickname for the binturong, a lovable Asian mammal that's known to show its claws when it feels threatened. But the term was used in the Roaring Twenties to describe a fiery-spirited woman as well. Bearcat Bourbon was named in honor of all the women ― and there were plenty, contrary to popular belief ― that played an instrumental part in writing the history of American Whiskey, either as distillers, bootleggers, or innovators.
There are two infused Bourbons in Bearcat's lineup right now: an Orange and an Espresso variant. The juice that both these expressions are based on is a Whiskey from the O.Z. Tyler Distillery ― a Bourbon with a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. Guess what the Orange Peel & Spice Bourbon gets infused with? It's freshly-grated orange zest and spices, of course ― and all-natural at that. It's a proper 80-proof Spirit as well, bursting with zestiness and bitter-sweetness that are just as tasty on their own as they are on the rocks and in cocktails.

Yellowstone Bourbon has had several owners throughout its history, including J.B. Dant, D.H. Taylor, The Glenmore Distillery, United Distillers & Vintners, the David Sherman Company, Heaven Hill, and David Sherman (now known as Luxco).
Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
J.B.'s father, Joseph W. Dant, invented a still made from a poplar log at 16, as he couldn't afford a copper still. Although crude, it worked exceptionally well!
Bourbon only needs to be placed in a new oak container for a few seconds to be called Bourbon. Fresh from the still and unaged Bourbon is called a White Dog. Recently, many of the larger distillers have started packaging this harsh, clear grain spirit for sale.
Limestone Branch Distillery, which produces Yellowstone Bourbon, also makes Minor Case Bourbon and Bowling & Burch Gin.
