Age: 5 to 7-Years old
Mash Bill: Blend of 3 & 4-grain bourbon mash bills; 60/20/20 Corn/Rye/Malted Barley 51/9/20/20 Corn/Wheat/Rye/Malted Barley
Second Barrel: Used fire-charred and toasted oak whiskey barrels that previously held barrel-aged, estate pollinated and harvested honey
Proof: 106 proof
Tasting Notes: On the nose, delicate notes of fresh orchard fruits, and sweet honey rise above the layers of vanilla and toasted oak. The palate is elevated by flavors of golden apple and warm baking spice. The finish is long and harmonious, leaving traces of honeyed spice and barrel-aged warmth.
About: From the heart of Starlight’s 700-acre family farm comes a bourbon that is truly farm-to-bottle. Crafted in small batches with estate-grown grains and honey, it begins with a sweet mash process and is double pot distilled on Starlight’s Vendome copper still. The whiskey is a 5–7 year blend of two signature mash bills—one built on corn, rye, and malted barley, the other a softer four-grain with wheat in the mix. Entering the barrel at 108–114 proof and bottled at 106, the bourbon strikes a balance of power and finesse that reflects its thoughtful construction.
The story deepens in the barrel. First aged in new American white oak, the spirit is then finished for 4–12 months in fire-charred and toasted casks that previously held Starlight’s own estate-harvested honey. These hives, pollinated by the farm’s orchards and wildflowers, leave behind a subtle sweetness that laces through layers of oak, spice, and fruit. The result is a whiskey that connects field, hive, and barrel—a limited release where authenticity, heritage, and innovation meet in every pour.
