Stellum Rye is great to begin with; there are store pick variants of it that are significantly better. But when a bourbon starts from the very premise of making high quality (Barrell) product available at an affordable value (the Stellum line thus far), I think the real question you have to be asking is, “is this really worth $100?” The answer is hell yes. Gets dangerously close to the rare air of Old Carter Rye/Michter’s 10 year Rye, which is a way of saying this is just a slight notch under the absolute best I’ve ever had. If you come across one, pull the trigger immediately.
