This inaugural release of the Stellum Black Specialty Equinox was created using Stellum Bourbon. We 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.

Stellum Equinox Blend #1 Tasting Notes

Nose: 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.

Palate: Dried apricot and honey immediately find their way into view. This unfolds into Saigon cinnamon and bruleed orange before slowly making its way to subtle notes of grapefruit and jasmine.

Finish: 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.

Distillery Information

Stellum Black Bourbon Equinox Blend #1 is part of the company's new line of specialty blends. According to the companys press release, this inaugural release of the Equinox Blend was created using Stellum Bourbon. The team 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 and bottled at cask strength. Equinox Blend #1 is a very straightforward affair, with a focus on spice, oak, and leather notes. The result is a flavor profile that feels like a very traditional Kentucky-style bourbon, and if I didnt know there were also components from Indiana and Tennessee in the blend I would have guessed it originated entirely from Kentucky. Crafted by the same team behind Barrell Craft Spirits and easily some of the best blenders in the industry, its not surprising that the bourbon is so cohesive it doesnt seem like a blend at all. Those who enjoy a robust yet traditional spice-focused bourbon will find a lot to love with Equinox Blend #1.
