(Yes, I am aware the beverage was never actually produced in Arizona, but rather in New Jersey.) In fact, the Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey is still a beverage I would happily grab from the gas station cooler on a road trip. So when I cracked a can of the new Green Tea Yuzu-Ade from YuzuCo, I was delighted by a hint of delicious familiarity.

Bearface Whisky Review: One Eleven Series Oaxaca Edition

The Whiskey Wash

Editor’s note: This review was originally published in 2023 by Jacob Wirt. It was updated and republished in June 2025. Bearface whisky is something of a pan-Canadian product.
