The Huber family's roots in distillation run deep, originating from their ancestors in Baden Baden, Germany. In 1843, Simon Huber embarked on a journey that would change the course of his family's history forever, as he left his homeland to seek new opportunities in the United States. Simon arrived in the rural community of Starlight, located in Southern Indiana just minutes from the Ohio River. At that time, the area was renowned as the Wine and Brandy Capital of the country.

As the largest fruit farm in Indiana, the Huber family desired to produce brandies from the fruit grown on their estate, continuing their ancestral legacy in distillation. It was a natural fit for the mission of Starlight Distillery, but it required a change in legislation. In 1998, the Huber family embarked on a legislative journey that led to the creation of the Farm Brandy Distillation permit in Indiana, allowing them and others in the state to produce brandies and ports. And with that, the name "Starlight Distillery" was born.
