Stellum The Lone Cypress Rye Whiskey

The Lone Cypress Rye Whiskey is a beautifully crafted and distinctive blend that offers a unique sensory experience, drawing inspiration from one of the world’s most iconic trees—the Lone Cypress, perched along the rugged coastline of the Monterey Peninsula. This rye whiskey captures the essence of its namesake with a savory, delicate profile highlighted by earthy notes of dried herbs, pine, and a touch of salt-air salinity. It's a spirit that evokes the natural beauty and windswept allure of the California coast.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Russet, with deep amber hues.
• Nose: The nose is soft and inviting, with aromas of cedar and a sweet undertone of buckwheat honey. There’s a subtle yet intriguing layer of burnt orange peel, apricot, and dried rosemary. Pleasant spices like toasted allspice and peppercorns linger in the background, adding complexity to the bouquet.
• Palate: The whiskey coats the mouth with a satisfying saltwater taffy flavor, bringing notes of ripe apricot and peach. As the flavor unfolds, a fresh and briny note emerges, adding a unique coastal character that is both intriguing and refreshing.
• Finish: On the exhale, faint flavors of chamomile tea and baked goods, such as an apple cider donut, appear. The orchard fruit flavors persist and deepen, becoming jammy, leaving a lasting impression.
• With Water: Adding three drops of water enhances the savory edge of the whiskey, bringing crushed peppercorn, fennel, and licorice into focus. The fruit notes soften and take on the qualities of poached pears and cinnamon, offering a new and equally delightful experience.
