Starlight Distillery Honey Reserve Bourbon Whiskey is produced in Indiana and bottled at 53% ABV. It blends 5- to 7-year-old bourbons from two mashbills: 60% corn, 20% rye and 20% malted barley; and 51% corn, 9% wheat, 20% rye and 20% malted barley. Double pot distilled, the whiskey is first aged in new American oak before finishing 4 to 12 months in charred and toasted barrels that previously held Starlight’s estate-harvested honey. It is priced at around $64.99. Per the brand, the nose offers delicate orchard fruit layered with vanilla, toasted oak, and soft honey sweetness. The palate features golden apple, caramel, and creamy vanilla, balanced with gentle spice and wildflower honey. The finish carries baking spice and warm oak.

  • This is easily among the best honey-finished bourbons I’ve tasted. For those who have found others in this style too sugary or one-note, Honey Reserve offers a convincing reason to take another look at what honey-cask whiskey can deliver.
