Starlight Distillery Carl T. Huber Signature Indiana Straight (Batch 0217), 46%

Price: 35 Issue: Summer 2021 Reviewer: Ted Simmons Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

From Huber's Orchard, Winery & Vineyards in Indiana comes this well-made whiskey with elements of originality and surprise. Hickory wood spice, cinnamon candy, and coffee cake on the nose. The palate is full of spice with some tropical fruit—mango and guava—plus good balance and body. These notes shine brighter without water. Guava carries over to the palate where it's joined by mint, more cinnamon, and oak. This is one to keep an eye on as stocks mature. (Best Value)
