Stellum Spirits recently introduced Stellum Black specialty blends. These blends are ongoing limited releases which incorporate rare barrels to create limited edition bourbons and ryes.
These new expressions offer fans more in terms of rarity, collectability, and insight into the inspiration behind the blends themselves. Blending in steps and with smaller batches allows the team to utilize barrels or even just parts of barrels that are unique while still having an influence on the character of the whiskey.
“Stellum Black specialty blends evoke the familiarity of two classic styles of American whiskey, taken one step further through our innovative blending and tasting process,” said Stellum Spirits Founder Joe Beatrice. “Each limited-release blend has an alternate blending profile that incorporates reserve barrels from our stocks with the original Stellum blend.”
The base for all Stellum Black specialty blends is a blend of Indiana bourbon and rye, which is then layered with older bourbons and ryes from Kentucky and Tennessee. These are the first two limited edition blends.
Stellum Equinox Blend #1 was created using Stellum Bourbon. The team slowly layered in rare sets of bourbon barrels until the evening of the Vernal Equinox, when the blend was completed in honor of the changing seasons and bottled at cask strength (117.26 proof)
Stellum Fibonacci Rye Blend #1 celebrates the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers, each the sum of the two previous numbers. Six separate rye blends were combined in accordance with this sequence. Just like so many other presentations of Fibonacci, the blend that it produced was bottled at cask strength (115.12 proof).
Stellum Equinox Blend #1 and Stellum Fibonacci Rye Blend #1 are both available for $99.
