Subtle Spirits “STELLAR” Art by Kate Tova Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml) $79.99 View

The intent behind STELLAR bourbon was simple; create an exceptional blend of bourbons in a larger volume than I had ever created before 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 seven barrels spent their life aging in new charred American oak from Speyside Cooperage, with a portion of the whiskey spending additional time in five different finishing casks. The final blend yielded roughly 288 gallons and went into a marriage tank at cask strength of 112.86 proof where it rested for two weeks before being cut to 100 proof. It spent an additional 6 weeks resting before being bottled without filtration. The precise make up looks like: 20% – 2 mos Fresh PlumpJack Estate Cabernet cask 20% – 3 mos Fresh Hanzell Estate Chardonnay cask 15% – 3 mos French Oak from Subtle Spirits, HODL #22 15% – 2 mos French Oak from Subtle Spirits, QUIXOTIC 15% – 2 mos European Oak from Subtle Spirits, Paper Trail 15% – New charred #4 Speyside Cooperage casks.

Douglas Laing & Co. is a leading independent Scotch Whisky distiller, blender and bottler specialising in the selection and release of Single Cask Single and Small Batch Malt Scotch Whiskies.

The company was founded by Fred Douglas Laing in 1948 and is still owned and run by the Laing family – Fred Laing Jr and his daughter Cara Laing.

The company philosophy is to bottle the way the distiller intended – at a high strength and without chill-filtration to preserve the robust and unique character of the Whisky. Douglas Laing’s industry reputation and many awards is testament to this ethos.

Douglas Laing’s Remarkable Regional Malts, the Ultimate Distillation of Scotland’s Malt Whisky Regions, encompasses The Epicurean Lowland Malt Scotch Whisky, Timorous Beastie (Highlands), Scallywag (Speyside), The Gauldrons (Campbeltown), Rock Islands (Islands) and Big Peat (Islay). Beyond its Blended Malts expertise, the award-winning Douglas Laing portfolio also includes Provenance, Premier Barrel, Old Particular and Xtra Old Particular, collectively known as the firm’s “Exceptional Single Casks”.

This highly limited release presents an exquisite single cask expression from the lost Imperial Distillery, distilled in 1998 right before the distillery closed its doors for good. While seeking solace in a single cask for 25 years, this well-rounded liquid has notes of heather honey, pear tart, orchard fruits, vanilla and toffee with a dose of earthiness. With only 200 bottles ever produced, each with its own unique design, these truly are a collector’s item. A lottery for which one you’ll receive adds to the personality that will sit upon your shelf.
