The Next Century Spirits brand is available in Colorado, Connecticut, North Carolina and New York. “A much broader rollout to come in Fall 2022,” the company says in an announcement.
“The final flavor profile decision was made in order to create the most approachable, daily drinker American Single Malt in the world,” says Master Blender Nick Scarff, who has earned more than 130 medals in international tasting competitions for products he has developed. “The inspiration for this product came from a combination of a lifelong love affair with Scotch combined with the desire to prove that America could also produce top quality single malt whiskies.”
“We believe Bear Fight can create a new value proposition for consumers that shows amazing whiskey can be found in all categories and prices,” says Anthony Moniello, chief commercial officer. The brand (SRP: $39.99) has been awarded gold medals across multiple international spirit competitions including: Double Gold at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco, Best in Category at the World Whiskies Awards (the only American Single Malt under $150) and Double Gold at the New York International Spirits Competition (the only American Single Malt under $75), to name a few.
