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.

Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
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.
Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
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.
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.
Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
