Aroma - birthday cake frosting drenched in alcohol and oak.. As it opens up, I’m getting nice caramel notes with subtle hints. Sweet and quite decadent.. Picking up some rye spice too. Quite nice.
Taste - follows the nose. But theres a very nice syrupy note. The alcohol presence realy kicks at the back od the palate and into the finish.
Overall - like most stellums, its a bold offering. I personally enjoy it… when i first had it, i thought it was extremely good. However, now i feel like $90 is overpriced. Should be in the $70-80 range.
Original score was 4.75. I must bump this down due to value and lack of transparency…. No age statement…. No mashbill… what the hell am i even drinking?!?
These sit on the shelves for a reason… and i hope they continue to do so. Its hard to pull the trigger on something that is priced this high without giving the consumer any information on the product being purchased. (Yet I did so because I watched some youtube review)
In my opinion… Barrell Craft Spirits needs to discontinue the Stellum brand all together. No age statement … no Mashbill and high price = DO NOT BUY
Stick with the BCS Bourbon and Rye… you get the age statement and the mashbill at a lower price … and just as good of whiskey imho
