• Batch no. 0001
• Produced using estate-grown, non-GMO corn, rye, and wheat; the malted barley is locally sourced
• A blend of a 3-grain mash bill of 60% corn, 20% rye, and 20% malted barley and a 4-grain mash bill of 51% corn, 20% rye, 20% malted barley, and 9% wheat
• 7-day closed-top, sweet mash fermentation in stainless steel

• On the nose, light, fresh notes of stone fruits, white flowers, and honey float above generous layers of vanilla and toasted oak. The palate introduces ripe golden apple and warm baking spice and finishes long, weaving together spice, honey, and oak to complement proof.

Embodying Starlight distillery’s farm-to-glass ethos, this superb honey-barrel-finished whiskey marries estate grains with a long fermentation regimen, double pot still distillations, and a respectable period of barrel aging to yield a richly layered sweet mash bourbon that enjoys a lingering kiss from (you guessed it!) estate-harvested honey.
