Stellum's Black-Label Take on High-Octane Rye
Stellum Black takes everything the inaugural Stellum Rye did well and pushes it further: older reserve barrels folded into the blend, bottled at a full 114.26 proof with no chill filtration and no water added. The backbone is Indiana rye — spice-forward and muscular — rounded by Kentucky and Tennessee barrels, giving Stellum Spirits fans the brand's most intense rye whiskey to date.
Tasting Notes
At cask strength the aromatics are bold — rye spice, toasted oak and dark caramel up front. The palate is full and chewy with pepper, baking spice and barrel char; a few drops of water open it into vanilla and dried fruit. The finish is long, warm and unapologetically spicy.
How to Enjoy
Neat with a splash of water for experienced cask-strength drinkers, or over one large cube to tame the heat without muting the spice. Built for a rye Manhattan or old fashioned where the proof stands up to vermouth and bitters.
