Bespoken Spirits American Light Whiskey

About Bespoken Spirits American Light Whiskey

Based in Silicon Valley, co-founders Stu Aaron and Martin Janousek seek perfection in spirits through technology. They have launched their own brand of spirits, as well as offering their proprietary maturation process as a service to distillers. Time is an essential component of whiskey creation. Is the technology finally there to streamline the painstakingly slow maturation process? That is the question that the team of scientists and entrepreneurs at Bespoken Spirits have been asking themselves since before the company's inception in 2018.

Their answer is the proprietary ACTivation technology, where ACT stands for "aroma, color, and taste." It enables them to extract the three components from barrels with "precision, control, and speed," then mature the spirit in days instead of years. The natural and sustainable process allows for the profile of a spirit to be precisely tailored with many other benefits: "97% less wood consumption, 20% more spirit yield (no angels share), and most importantly, award winning tastes." Their own portfolio indeed consists of several award-winning expressions of whiskey as well as a dark rum.

All of the Bespoken whiskeys are sourced from MGP and bottled at the Treasure Island Distillery. The American Light Whiskey is crafted with a mash bill of 99% corn and 1% malt. The style calls for the spirit to be distilled to a higher proof, bringing it closer to grain neutral spirit. Bottled without chill filtration at 100 proof, this unique expression has won a gold medal at the 2020 edition of the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

About American Whiskey

There are two main representatives of the American whiskey family, bourbon, and rye, but some other spirits don't fall into those two strictly regulated categories.

There's equally strictly regulated American single malt, made from 100% malted barley, Tennessee whiskey, essentially bourbon filtered through maple charcoal and aged in new charred oak barrels.

And then there's moonshine, a high proof (150- 170 proof) distilled spirit mainly made out of corn which gained popularity during the prohibition.
