Stellum Black Bourbon, 54.61%

Maraschino cherries, spiced pears, ginger, and a hint of allspice on the nose, plus antique-shop mustiness, orange tart, and earthy aromatic spice. Smooth on the palate, with loads of spice atop chocolate and fruit notes, raspberry coulis, dark cherry, caramel, and cigar box. Water produces Creamsicle, blackberry jam, and pepper spice. The finish is long and delicious, with notes of brown sugar and maple syrup. A bounty of flavors and spices.
