About Spotted Bear Spirit's Midnight Forest Bourbon Whiskey
Whether you're telling stories around a campfire, enjoying a wild game dinner with your family, or sitting on the banks of your favorite fishing hole, this new bourbon whiskey is the perfect complement. We like to say it pairs well with public lands and waters.
Inscribed on the back, you'll find a shot of inspiration from biologist, hunter, author, and legendary conservationist Jim Posewitz:
"In early 1907, special interests in the U.S. Congress forced a political showdown, revoking President Theodore Roosevelt's authority to create new national forests. But The Bull Moose was not deterred. With only a few days before the new law took effect, Roosevelt worked day and night creating twenty-one new national forests and expanding eleven existing forests. TR's action was bold, and he ultimately created and conserved sixteen million acres of new public lands. These are the Midnight Forests.
Raise your glass in celebration of the Bull Moose and the gift of public lands and waters. Now it's your turn, take your best shot, be bold and carry on the legacy of American conservation."

Tasting Notes
The nose is black plum, and bing cherry. The palate has some weight that is lifted with dried cranberry and dusty tannin, bringing to mind our beautiful red soils. The finish is long and structured, leaving your taste buds asking for more.
