💡 Did you know? Back in the 1970s, everyone was going crazy for lighter spirits like vodka! 🍸 So, the bourbon industry decided to shake things up and create “light whiskey”! Crow Light hit the scene in December 1972 with the catchy slogan “The whiskey that whispers,” trying to capture that lighter vibe. Light whiskey was distilled to super high proofs (think 160-190 proof!) to mellow out the flavor and then aged briefly in used bourbon barrels for just a hint of color and taste. That “whisper” was all about that subtle, easy-drinking profile! 😉
