Star Trek Spirits, the official spirits brand of the Star Trek franchise has revealed a collaboration with Stellum Spirits, a contemporary whiskey brand from Barrell Craft Spirits.
The name ‘Stellum’ derived from the Latin word for ‘star,’ captures the brand’s celestial inspiration. Together, these two special releases—a Blended Rye Whiskey and a Cask Strength Blended Whiskey—seamlessly merge Stellum’s innovative spirit with the pioneering legacy of Star Trek.
What sets this release apart is that both expressions are housed in the iconic Romulan Ale bottle—a symbol of Star Trek‘s rich history. Deeply rooted in Star Trek lore, and famously outlawed by the United Federation of Planets, Romulan Ale has long embodied mystery and intrigue. Now, this legendary bottle bridges the world of science fiction and exceptional whiskey, making these limited-edition releases even more extraordinary for collectors and whiskey enthusiasts alike.
The first, A Blended Rye Whiskey, is a 118.02 proof creation that captures the daring exploration synonymous with Starfleet—a marigold-hued rye with warm aromas of dark brown sugar and toasted almonds. The rich, buttery palate unfolds with layers of star anise, sesame, and almonds, complemented by vibrant notes of dill, apricot, orange peel, and brown sugar, leading to a lingering finish.
The second, a Cask Strength Blended Whiskey, clocks in at 120.67 proof, delivering a robust yet harmonious profile. A warm amber bourbon with an intense, evolving aroma—flowery vanilla, orange peel, caramel corn, and mixed peppercorns lead the way, followed by cedar and smoldering oak. The palate unfolds with notes of charred orange, leather, and floral vanilla layered with cardamom, cedar, and spiced nuts, finishing with a touch of sweet cinnamon.
These limited releases will be available online at Star Trek Spirits at a suggested retail price of $79 per bottle. With just three barrels of each expression crafted, these small-batch releases present a rare opportunity to own a piece of this extraordinary cosmic adventure.
