Tasting notes

nose

Fresh peach with sweet tangerine and nectarine

palate

Sweet peach and creamy vanilla over the weight of the whiskey

finish

Peach sweetness and stone fruit, then light caramel and faint vanilla

Mash bill

Corn, rye, malted barley and wheat in the base whiskey, which the distillery makes on its own copper pot stills from grain the Huber family grows on its farm. The producer does not publish a recipe for this bottle. The whiskey ages in used Starlight whiskey barrels before it is flavored.

Why it's craft

The peaches come from the Huber family farm and are blended into whiskey Starlight distills on copper pot stills and ages in its own used barrels. The farm has been worked by the family since Simon Huber settled in Starlight, Indiana, in 1843. It is flavored whiskey, and the label says so.
