Bespoken Spirits Bespoken Spirits American Light Whiskey 375ml

Bespoken Spirits American Light Whiskey is a craft take on a rarely-seen category: American Light Whiskey, a style the TTB defines by distilling above 160 proof and aging in used or uncharred oak, which keeps the spirit closer to the base grain than a bourbon or rye. Bespoken runs it through their accelerated-aging process instead of a long barrel rest, layering in light oak character without the years typically needed for a spirit this smooth. Expect a soft, mellow profile — mild grain sweetness, a touch of vanilla, and gentle oak — with none of the char or heavy spice that defines charred-barrel whiskey.

How to drink Bespoken Spirits American Light Whiskey

This isn't a bottle for an Old Fashioned — the profile is too light to stand up to sugar and bitters. Try it instead in a highball with soda and a lemon twist, or in a whiskey sour where its mild sweetness plays a supporting role. On the rocks it's easy enough for someone who finds bourbon too heavy.
