About: Starlight Distillery’s 2026 10-Year Reserve Bourbon is one of the rarest and most prestigious releases in our portfolio — a true reflection of patience, precision, and family legacy. Produced entirely grain-to-glass using grains grown and harvested on the Huber family estate, this limited release showcases the highest level of craftsmanship our distillery can offer.

This ten-barrel blend was carefully selected from some of the oldest bourbon resting in our rickhouses, featuring both signature 3-grain and 4-grain mash bills built on rare heirloom corn and Indiana rye. Sweet mash fermented and double pot distilled on our Vendome copper stills, each barrel was entered at low proof and aged slowly for a full decade to develop exceptional depth and character.

Initially matured in the distillery’s original warehouse, these barrels were later transferred to Warehouse #2 — West Side, the warmest pocket of our rickhouses. This dynamic aging environment pushed the whiskey to its peak, intensifying body, oak integration, aromatic richness, and layered complexity

Hand-selected by members of the Huber family — Ted, Blake, and Christian — each barrel was bottled only when it reached absolute maturity. Bottled at cask strength, 114.2 proof, and released in an allocation of approximately 2,000 bottles, this bourbon represents the highest expression of Starlight Distillery’s commitment to authenticity, stewardship, and world-class American whiskey.
