Starlight 10 Year Old Bourbon: The Oldest Release from Starlight Distillery!

Join Wayne and Rebecca from Your Bourbon Journey as they get their hands on a highly sought-after bottle—the Starlight 2025 10 Year Old Bourbon. This is the oldest release ever from Starlight Distillery in Borden, Indiana, and it’s a bottle they’ve been waiting for since they first tasted a sample at a Repeal Dinner almost a year ago!

In this review, Wayne and Rebecca discuss the unique aspects of this special release, including the specific three-grain mash bill (60% corn, 20% rye, 20% malted barley), its sweet mash process, and the incredibly rare Seguin Moreau Iconic Barrels it was aged in.

Poured at a bold 120.3 proof, they explore the rich, dark amber color and complex notes on the nose and palate. Can they find the pipe tobacco, dark chocolate, and caramel notes they’re looking for? And what does a 10-year-old bourbon with a low barrel entry proof taste like?

This isn’t just a review; it’s a celebration of a family-owned Indiana distillery that is making waves in the American whiskey world. If you love discovering craft distilleries and special, limited-release whiskey, this video is for you.
