The 140 proof creates a full-bodied, warming experience with complex layers that unfold with each sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes American Light Whiskey different from bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican Light Whiskey is distilled at higher proof than bourbon and aged in used or uncharred barrels, resulting in a grain-forward profile with less oak influence. This creates a cleaner, more grain-centric flavor compared to traditional bourbon's caramelized sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink this high-proof whiskey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 140 proof, this whiskey benefits from a few drops of water to open up the aromatics and tame the heat. Start neat in small sips, then add water gradually to find your preferred drinking strength, typically around 100-110 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Larrikin Bourbon Co. veteran-owned?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Larrikin Bourbon Co. is both veteran-owned and veteran-distilled, operating from Lawrenceburg, Kentucky.
