Stellum Black Fibonacci Rye (Blend #1)

I have really enjoyed my first couple pours of this bottle. More notes to come on nose, palate and finish. I’ve found myself thinking about this one though and when I’ll have it again.

Sweet and spicy rye greets the palate with a warm wash of caramel tinged goodness. The mouthfeel is very round and semi-heavy mainly due to the eye popping 115.12% proof. Adding some water to bring down the fire, reveals a more tempered spirit with softer notes of nut bread, coffee cake and pecan pie. This is a whiskey that keeps on giving. One sip will not do. To celebrate your bottle, try a few ounces in your next, very special Sazerac. Truly exceptional.

Seems like a missed opportunity to not release 10,946 bottles instead of 9,000. Blend #F21. Come on!
