This inaugural release of Stellum Specialty Rye takes elements of the core Stellum Rye and enhances it with casks of exceptional character by utilizing the Fibonacci sequence to determine the ratio of each separate whiskey blend. The Fibonacci Sequence, a naturally occurring series of numbers wherein each number is the sum of the previous two, is found everywhere in nature, and when coupled with the knowledge, experience, intuition, and palates of the Stellum team, has yielded an astounding rye whiskey more savory in style than the traditional Stellum rye.
