One of the largest growers of apples in Indiana with over 20 varieties in their 30-plus-acre orchard, this apple brandy is a blend of single variety distillates blended, aged, and bottled on the Huber family estate. While US law stipulates that applejack may contain as little as 20% apple distillate, Starlight produces their applejack from 100% estate-grown apples, lending an opulence more akin to Calvados than many domestic “jacked” blends.

Located at Huber’s Orchard, Winery, & Vineyards in the small, unincorporated town of Starlight in southern Indiana, Starlight Distillery calls upon a foundation of family history to craft fine American spirits. Seven generations of Hubers have sustainably operated the now 850-acre family-owned estate established in 1843 by German immigrant, Simon Huber—a farmer and wine maker—and have been producing exceptional agricultural products for over 179 years!
