Stellum Rye

Product description

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

Appearance... 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 brings 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 from the rye grain provide an excellent 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.

With the Addition of Water... The citrus notes on the palate become more pronounced with candied lemon and orange peels, all supported by a simple mint syrup like you would find in a derby julep.
