Founded in 1935 in Bardstown, Kentucky, Heaven Hill operates an extensive portfolio spanning bourbon, vodka, rum, and other categories. As a \"Light\" vodka, Chaska Light carries a lower proof point than standard 80-proof vodkas, which typically translates to fewer calories per serving — a deliberate choice aimed at drinkers seeking a lighter spirit for everyday mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean and neutral on the nose with minimal grain character.
