Description
Starlight "Carl T" Straight Bourbon is a heartfelt tribute to the Huber family’s fourth-generation patriarch, capturing the essence of their 850-acre Indiana estate. This "farm-to-bottle" whiskey is crafted using a meticulous sweet mash process and distilled in a small copper pot still, resulting in a remarkably clean and grain-forward character. Aged on a high-altitude limestone bluff, the spirit interacts deeply with the oak to create a profile that rivals the most established names in Kentucky. It is an incredibly approachable bourbon that balances rich heritage with a soft, pillowy texture that feels like a discovery you will want to keep all to yourself.
