Bespoken Spirits American Light Whiskey

A higher proof Whiskey without the harshness.

Wood seems like a pretty important part of Whiskey making, right, but apparently, it doesn’t have to be. Or at least not in the way we’re used to, according to the co-founders of Silicon Valley-based Bespoken Spirits Stu Aaron and Martin Janousek who use technology to achieve perfection in Spirits. Their team of scientists developed a proprietary ACTivation technology, where "aroma, color, and taste" are extracted with "precision, control, and speed". This way, the Spirit is matured in days instead of years. Don’t worry, the process of instilling the barrel in the Spirit is completely natural and sustainable with no artificial colorings or additives. The profile of a Spirit is precisely tailored, which is great, but there are other benefits, too: "97% less wood consumption, 20% more Spirit yield (No angel’s share!), and most importantly, award-winning tastes."

Bespoken Spirits American Light Whiskey is distilled at a higher proof, clocking in at 50% ABV. We immediately loved its brilliant golden color and the enticing nose that greets with notes of butterscotch, marzipan, honey-infused mocha, and black tea. Expect a rich palate with cinnamon sugar and enjoy a compelling finish of cacao nib and winter spices. Cocktail, anyone?
