Stellum Black Equinox Blend #1 Bourbon

This inaugural release of the Stellum Black Specialty Equinox was created using Stellum Bourbon. They slowly layered in rare sets of bourbon barrels, step by step, until the evening of the Vernal Equinox, when the blend was completed in honor of the changing seasons. So you know, they called it Equinox...

The beautifully subdued nose gently opens up to ripe cantaloupe and the perfume of fresh cut grass. After it aerates, notes of sugar maple and toffee hit the senses with a distant kiss of wood spice and white pepper. Dried apricot and honey immediately find their way into view on the palate. This unfolds into Saigon cinnamon and bruleed orange before slowly making its way to subtle notes of grapefruit and jasmine. The finish is extremely long and slowly developed. The back-end jasmine blooms and bursts into rich notes of sorghum and wood tannin before finally dissipating into beautiful dark chocolate. Bottled at 58.63% abv.
