Starlight 25th Anniversary Bourbon 10 Year Old, New Charred Oak Cask, 2026, 60.2%

The description points firmly toward a rich style, with toffee and honeyed oak backed by dark chocolate. Oak and spice carry through the finish, so it sounds more weighty than light, though the fruit gives it some contrast.
