The intent behind STELLAR bourbon was simple; create an exceptional blend of bourbons in a larger volume that would appease both the seasoned and new whiskey drinker alike. STELLAR Bourbon consists of a constellation of seven barrels. It is comprised of 6yr, 7yr, and 8yr straight bourbon whiskey, distilled from the two MGP rye-bourbon mash bills. 90% is made from 'low-rye' bourbon mash (75% Corn, 21% Rye, 4% Barley), and 10% from 'high-rye' bourbon mash (60% Corn, 36% Rye, 4% Barley). The nose is confounding like the stars of the solar system. The provenance is hard to place when the flavors seem lightyears away from the typical MGP profile. Initial starbursts of red fruits like currants and cherry aromas pop from the glass. These are supported with the sweet enveloping aromas of fresh caramel and vanilla and brought into balance by a savory cinnamon and allspice. The palate is where the elements fuse together. The sweet, savory, and spicy flavors are all in concert with each other. In a word... simply STELLAR.
