bewhiskered
Having facial hair
Bewhiskered means having whiskers—facial hair on the cheeks and jaw.
The word carries a slightly old-fashioned or humorous tone, often describing men with prominent or untrimmed growth: a bewhiskered sea captain, the bewhiskered faces of Civil War generals.
It can also describe animals with prominent whiskers: a bewhiskered cat.
