Oak, Clove, Cinnamon spice, Rising spice & heat Though a largely ignored subset of American whiskey, Penelope Founders Reserve: 15 Year American Light Whiskey shows how great light whiskey can truly be. Light whiskey is a category of whiskey produced in the United States that is distilled to a higher proof than traditional whiskey, typically between 160 and 190 proof. It is aged in used or uncharred new oak barrels, which results in a lighter flavor profile compared to other types of whiskey. This style was developed in response to consumer demand for lighter spirits and has a more subtle, mellow character, often described as smooth with hints of sweetness.
