Starlight, Indiana (July 1, 2025) — Starlight Distillery is proud to announce the release of its first ever 10-Year Bourbon—a once-in-a-decade expression that captures the soul of southern Indiana’s farming heritage and the relentless pursuit of craft distilling excellence.

From the heart of Huber’s Orchard & Winery, where seven generations of farming traditions run deep, this bourbon begins its journey with a large portion of estate-grown grains—meticulously harvested, milled, and sweet mash fermented before being double pot distilled on our 500-gallon copper pot still. Every step of the process takes place on the Huber estate, capturing the essence of “farm-to-glass” like few others in the world of whiskey.

Aged for a full decade in Seguin Moreau Icône barrels—sourced from their world-renowned Napa Valley cooperage—this bourbon was matured in Warehouse 2, West Side, the warmest pocket of the distillery’s rickhouses. This environment pushes flavor to the edge, intensifying the bourbon’s body, aromatic depth, and complexity.

Hand-selected by members of the Huber family, each barrel was bottled at its absolute peak. The result is a rare spirit that delivers layered notes of dark caramel, charred oak, ripe orchard fruit, and warm baking spice—unfolding in perfect harmony across the palate.

“This isn’t just another bourbon—it’s a reflection of our family’s legacy and the land we’ve farmed for over 180 years,” said Christian Huber, 7th-generation distiller. “It’s a moment of reverence in a glass. One we’ve waited ten years to share.”

Bottled at peak maturity and released in extremely limited quantities, this 10-Year Bourbon represents the highest expression of what Starlight Distillery stands for: authenticity, craftsmanship, and the unwavering belief that time reveals all.  A decade in the making. A moment to savor.

The bourbon will be available starting July 26th, 2025 at Starlight Distillery (19816 Huber Road, Borden IN).  To celebrate the release, Starlight will be hosting a public event on Saturday, July 26th starting at 10am.  Meet the makers and taste firsthand this once-in-a-decade expression.
