Stellum Single Barrel Rye Rigel A4 (Caskers Staff Pick)

Description

Stellum Single Barrel Rye Rigel A4 (Caskers Staff Pick)  A Bold Expression of American Rye Craftsmanship

When a whiskey carries both the Stellum Spirits name and the Caskers Staff Pick seal, you can expect something extraordinary. The Stellum Single Barrel Rye Rigel A4 is a limited-edition release bottled straight from a single cask  unfiltered, undiluted, and unapologetically bold.

Crafted from a 95% rye / 5% malted barley mash bill and bottled at 117.14 proof (58.57% ABV), this whiskey showcases the signature spice and complexity that rye enthusiasts crave. Every barrel tells its own story, and the Rigel A4 barrel delivers one that’s rich, layered, and memorable.

Stellum Single Barrel Rye Distillation & Aging: Where Precision Meets Passion

Each barrel in Stellum’s single-barrel program is hand-selected for its unique profile. The Rigel A4 expression was distilled in Indiana, aged around five years in new charred American oak, and bottled at full strength to preserve every ounce of natural flavor.

Unlike mass-produced blends, single-barrel releases like this capture a singular moment in the whiskey-making process. The result is a bottle that’s impossible to replicate  one that reflects both the artistry of Stellum Spirits and the discerning taste of the Caskers team.

Tasting Notes: A Symphony of Spice and Sweetness

Nose: Leather, warm baking spices, and a hint of mint and honeyed mead.
Palate: Bold rye spice up front, unfolding into toasted orange peel, cinnamon, and rich honey. The high proof amplifies its warmth without overpowering its balance.
Finish: Long, dry, and complex  with notes of sage, walnut oil, and seasoned oak.

Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or in a refined Old Fashioned, the Stellum Rye Rigel A4 delivers an unforgettable experience for rye lovers and collectors alike.

Why the Caskers Staff Pick Matters

Caskers Staff Picks are hand-chosen by whiskey experts who sample and score dozens of barrels before selecting their favorites. Being designated as a Staff Pick means this particular barrel stood out for its superior balance, aroma, and depth of flavor.

For enthusiasts, that endorsement adds confidence  knowing the bottle you’re buying has been personally vetted by people who live and breathe fine spirits.
