Highlight: 18 Year American Light Whiskey (2026 Release)
The star of this set is the 18-Year American Light Whiskey. Distilled from a mash bill of 99% Corn and 1% Malted Barley, this 2026 release was aged in second-fill oak barrels to soften the spirit while preserving the sweet, grain-forward character of the distillate. Bottled at a staggering 140.2 Proof (70.1% ABV), it offers a dessert-like profile that defies its strength, delivering a drinking experience that is dense, oily, and unforgettable.
Tasting Notes (18 Year Light Whiskey)
Nose: Sweet and nostalgic with intense aromas of butterscotch, cake batter, and carnival cotton candy.

Finish: Exceptionally long with sophisticated layers of savory vanilla, waffle cone, and powdered sugar.
Complementary Bottles
