This is a travel-exclusive whisky, got it from Qatar Airport. The product label says "Resilient & self-sufficient, with a highly developed instinct for survival, the natural characteristics of the bear were much admired by our Viking ancestors. Spirit of the bear is inspired by the resilient nature and fierce independence of our Viking ancestors-characteristics that sit at the heart of our whisky-making today"
