Description
Subtle Spirits STELLAR Straight Bourbon Whiskey (100 Proof)
STELLAR is a limited-edition release of just 1,700 bottles, thoughtfully crafted from a blend of 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old straight bourbons. Made with both low-rye and high-rye MGP mash bills, this bourbon achieves balance through precise blending and innovative barrel finishing.
What sets STELLAR apart is its complex finishing process in a variety of unique wine and oak casks:
-
Cabernet Sauvignon casks from PlumpJack Estate bring bold dark fruit and structure
-
Chardonnay casks from Hanzell Estate lend a touch of citrus, creaminess, and minerality
-
French and European oak casks previously used for other Subtle Spirits releases contribute layers of toasted spice, honey, and earth
-
A portion finished in new charred #4 Speyside Cooperage barrels deepens the vanilla and caramel richness
After finishing, the bourbon rested in a marriage tank at cask strength before being proofed down to a bold yet approachable 100 proof and bottled unfiltered to preserve full flavor.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Red currants, cherry, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, and baking spice
-
Palate: Blackberry jam, honey, buttered biscuits, toasted vanilla, savory spice
-
Finish: Long and rich, with buttery texture and lingering fruit, oak, and spice
Elegant yet adventurous, STELLAR is a multi-dimensional sipping bourbon that rewards exploration—both in flavor and story.
