Macht's partnership will bring his signature charisma and sharp presence to the equally bold whiskey brand. Through this collaboration, Macht and team Bear Fight aim to unify established whiskey lovers and the whiskey curious alike, all revolving around the thought-provoking question: "What's your Bear Fight?"
