Starlight Distillery 10-Year Bourbon bottle

Starlight Distillery announced the release of its first ever 10-Year Bourbon — an expression that captures the soul of southern Indiana’s farming heritage.

From Huber’s Orchard & Winery, with seven generations of farming traditions, this bourbon begins with a large portion of estate-grown grains — harvested, milled, and sweet mash fermented before being double pot distilled on the distillery’s 500-gallon copper pot still. Every step of the process takes place on the Huber estate, capturing the essence of “farm-to-glass.” 

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 peak. 

“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,” Christian Huber, 7th-generation distiller, said in a news release. “It’s a moment of reverence in a glass. One we’ve waited ten years to share.”

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