Stellum Rye

The identity of Stellum Rye is rooted in a tried and true 95% Rye Indiana mash bill. To enhance this classic style, Stellum Spirits incorporates small amounts of more barley-forward rye and choice barrels from both Kentucky and Tennessee. This brings a full, round mouthfeel and flashes of buttery sweetness to an otherwise spicy and tightly focused Rye Whiskey.

• A blend of straight Rye Whiskeys
• Distilled and Aged in TN, KY, IN
• Bottled in Kentucky
• 116.24 proof cask strength bottling

COLOR
Deep Copper

NOSE
Stewed apples, peaches, and pears dominate the initial nose, along with an undertone of baking spices. Nutmeg and clove provide a counterbalance to the sweet fruits, while a light mint and licorice note bring further depth to the aroma.

PALATE
Aniseed, cardamom, and coriander wake up your palate with an intense spice punch. Notes of lemon peel and tangerine coming from the rye grain provide a nice citrus component to the overall spiciness. As the whiskey breathes in the glass, fresh green apples and spearmint arise, which offers just enough of a sweet component to engage all your taste buds.

FINISH
Star anise, white pepper, and mint linger on the palate before fading into a honey-sweetened jasmine green tea.
