Stellum Equinox Blend No. 1, 58.63%

Price: 100 Issue: Fall 2022 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey


Confectionery sugar, sweet banana slices, vanilla frosting, raisin bread, and pound cake on a very inviting nose. The palate delivers spice, dark fruits, and a rich sweetness that fades slightly on the back palate. Water brings out barrel char, coffee grounds, bitter chocolate, and a hint of black pepper. Lots of spice on the finish, with a great balance of bright fruit and rich chocolate. Smooth, complex, and enjoyable overall. (8,400 bottles)
