Proof and Wood 100 Seasons 25 Years Old American Light Whiskey

American Light whiskey is a category of whiskey distilled between 160 and 190 proof and aged in used cooperage. American Light was originally intended to compete with lighter spirits. While the “lighter” whiskey category didn’t pan out, it’s great to use in blends and is aged in used cooperage, which stands the test of time. The whiskey at 25 years is world-class on its own; deep caramel and gingerbread notes jump at you immediately, notes of chocolate and stone fruit complete the finish with some strong wood notes reminding you of the whiskey’s age.
