• Double oaked whiskey produced by Starlight Distillery in Starlight, Indiana
• Blend of mash bills including an 80% rye, 20% malted barley mash bill and a 90% rye, 10% malted barley mash bill
• Rye is estate-grown; malted barley sourced locally from Glick farms
• 7-day closed top, sweet mash fermentation in stainless steel
• Twice distilled in a Vendome brass and copper pot still

• Cherry, fennel, dill, and peppermint on a nose underscored with clove and limestone; a vibrant, piquant palate balances zesty grapefruit and orange peel with cinnamon, charred oak, and apricot jam; finishes dry with notes of ginger, pink peppercorn, and vanilla
• Non-chill filtered; bottled at a cask strength of 53% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)

Starlight’s rye whiskey is double-oaked in toasted barrels from Seguin Moreau and 5 year-air dried Canton Cooperage barrels, resulting in a magnificently balanced whiskey which doubles down on all the best qualities of American oak while retaining the unmistakable qualities of Indiana rye whiskey.
