Stellum Black Fibonacci Rye (Blend #1)

Stellum Fibonacci Rye Blend #1. For those that have a bottle that you have not opened or if you happen to see this on the shelf ***many are closing this out ***as unfortunately Barrell as well as Stellum are not really selling despite some terrific releases I bought this back in 2022 and am first cracking it My initial impression is this is WOW one heck of a superior Rye A delicious nose An impressive mouth filling palette And a incredibly tasty and long finish The 115.12 proof works perfectly My rating a very high 4.5/5

Pumpernickle with salt, spearmint, dill and sugar on the nose. Took a sip and…wow, the taste stopped me in my tracks for a minute. I try a lot of whiskeys and not many can do that. This is really good. Back to the palate which is a bready, yeasty cinnamon bun with caramel, toffee, and savory elements punching through—dill and maybe rosemary. Finish is long, spicy and savory with dill getting the final word. This is the kind of bottle that pulls me away from bourbon, my first love, and toward rye.

Caramel sweetness. Lingering heat; needed to ice for 10 minutes to enjoy. Not bad, but I'm not crazy about this either. Minimal spice I enjoy from ryes. I Think that's why I not a bigger fan of this.

Dill on the nose. Very little sweetness. Herbal.and spicy. Lasting finish. A good savory but not sweet rice. Nice mouthfeel.
