    Does anyone want an r/bourbon Starlight PX Sherry finish? Limit 2


    Taking their 4 grain mashbill and a barrel entry proof of 110pf, among the lowest in the business, Starlight's base bourbon was perfectly set up to finish with bold PX sherry wine. The final proof is a killer 107, just right. It's a right shortie as well.
    • ABV: 107pf
    • Age: 4 Years (plus 6mo PX finish)
    • State of Distillation: Indiana, USA (Starlight)
    • Info: Barrel Strength, Unfiltered, No Additives, No Coloring
    • Price: $89
    • Limit: 2 Bottles
    • Retailer: Greens Farms Spirits
    • Labeling: Custom r/Bourbon Labeling On Bottle
    • Tasting Notes: Savory and rich on the nose, it's packed with honey, tobacco, sweet oak, rich caramel, a touch of molasses and light plum and currant. On the palate the mouthfeel is rich, and there's a pleasant tug of war between sweet bourbon notes, dry tannin and pleasant oak and big sherry notes on the back palate. The finish is all blackberry bramble, caramel, baking spice and a pleasant stewed fruits and currant jam with Luxardo richness. Rock an old fashioned with it, I dare you. I bet your bar won't be the same after. We're coming up on the end of Starlight barrels for a while, and ending on a high note with a killer PX.

    I can smell that tater sticker from here. I’m even catching a faint wiff of a wax dip as well.

    Or any Old Elk wheated from r/bourbon? Signed up before I realized the retailer doesn’t ship to TN.

    There are three different barrels available.

    The Halloween edition should be the straight bourbon which I think is very good for the price point.

    Their straight whiskey is good, but their small batch is a poor value at the ~$60 price point.

    Not too bad. Considering what it seems like it would cost to get one shipped from the UK. And those were 700ml.

    I’ve never attended their raffles, but the pics always make it look like a shot show. Luckily I’ll be working, so no temptation to be part of that melee.
