Starlight Carl T. Double Oaked Bourbon Whisky

Carl T. is their small batch signature bourbon named after 4th generation family member, Carl Theodore Huber. After 4 years of aging in new, charred American Oak, this Carl T. batch was transferred into unused Seguin Moreau Vanilla Toast bourbon barrels to age an additional 8 months. This process provides intense oak notes, enhanced vanilla flavor, and mellowed rye spiciness.

Distillery Information

Starlight distillery is located in Starlight, Indiana which is about 20 minutes north of Louisville, KY. All of their offerings are made using the sweet mash technique, and all of the barrels they use are air dried for a minimum of 2 years with some air dried up to 4 years. The distillery prides itself on being family owned and truly providing a farm to bottle experience. All of the whiskey is Starlight distillate distilled and aged on the property. Starlight Distillery Carl T. Huber’s Double Oaked Bourbon Whiskey is 96 proof, made in small batches, costs around $60, and is comprised of two mashbills that can be further broken down since the distillery used 4 varieties of corn. The 1st mash bill is 60% corn, 20% rye, and 20% malted barley while the 2nd mashbill is 51% corn, 20% rye, 20% malted barley, and and 9% wheat. After being aged for 4 years in its original barrel it is aged for an additional 8 months in an unused Seguin Moreau Vanilla Toast barrel. The history of the distillery is very unique and runs 8 generations deep. The current distilling is conducted by Ted and his sons Christian and Blake who are two of the up and coming stars of the industry in my opinion. The distillery is also unique in that it sits on the same property as Huber Winery which is also owned by the family and offers activities for adults and children alike.
