Experience the Richness of Starlight Old Rickhouse Double Oaked Rye Whiskey
Starlight Old Rickhouse Double Oaked Rye Whiskey is a straight rye whiskey from Starlight Distillery, located on the grounds of the Huber estate in Starlight, Indiana. Aged for at least 4.5 years and bottled at 106 proof, this whiskey offers a rich and complex flavor profile that is sure to impress. This whiskey is made from a mashbill of 85% rye and 15% malted barley, giving it a bold and spicy character. The nose is filled with notes of pear, rye spice, clove, seasoned oak, and a hint of leather. On the palate, you'll find rye spice, chewy caramel, leather, apricot, and sweet accents throughout, all wrapped up in a full-flavored, thick mouthfeel. The finish is long and satisfying, with notes of white grapes, oak, and intensified rye spice lingering on the palate.
Starlight Old Rickhouse Double Oaked Rye Whiskey is a delightful expression that builds upon the distillery’s standard rye by adding richness and complexity. The additional aging in new 53-gallon barrels for an additional 5 months gives this whiskey a delightful balance of flavors. It's slightly richer and more complex compared to the base Straight Rye, making it a must-try for whiskey enthusiasts.
