Stellum Single Barrel Bourbon Lyra T8

For their single barrel program, they select only the best whiskeys. These are the Stellum Bourbon rye and bourbon variants that are bottled at cask strength and perform especially well when consumed alone rather than in a blend. The Caskers staff selected this barrel of Lyra T8. It was aged for five years in a new, charred American oak cask after being distilled in Indiana from a mash bill consisting of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. In 2021, the cask-strength expression was bottled at a proof of 118.32.
