Stellum Bourbon finds its flavor in the tension of three Indiana Bourbon mash bills, two of which are high-rye, with the third being almost exclusively corn. Older barrels from both Kentucky and Tennessee are folded in slowly, through a multi-step blending process. This brings added layers of depth and complexity, ultimately allowing us to round out a uniquely Stellum flavor profile.

Stellum Tara is a blend of three unique blends. The first is focused on high-rye and high-corn Indiana Bourbon, the second is focused on older fruit-forward Tennessee Bourbon, and the third is concentrated on spice-driven Kentucky Bourbon. The three blends were slowly layered into the final blend, resulting in a multifaceted bourbon with the structure of a high-rye Indiana Bourbon and the nuance of hand selected Tennessee and Kentucky barrels. ABV: 56.77%

Stellum Black Bourbon is the next step in Stellum Bourbon’s evolution. By incorporating reserve barrels from our stocks with the original Stellum Bourbon blend, we created a bourbon that delivers robust flavor alongside profound complexity. The result is an expression both entirely new and deeply familiar, with roots firmly planted in Stellum Bourbon.

This warm, oak driven bourbon is made in preparation for winter, inspired by the Hunter’s Moon of October. It is marked by a high rye spice and a robust woodiness meant for the time of year when days get shorter and the nights get longer.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR:  Golden Caramel.

Nose: Very warm, rounded vanilla and butterscotch aromas initially, giving way to honeysuckle and ripened mango.

Palate: Bright cinnamon at first, leading into flamed orange peel, then savory, earthy notes of black plum and petrichor.

Finish: Sweet and upbeat medium finish that tapers off gracefully.

WITH A SPLASH OF WATER: The layer of fruity, floral aromas is activated with a splash of water. The nose gives ripe mango, coconut, and tangerine, the palate is toasted salted cashew and lemon balm, and the finish is longer and leaner, like a walk down a long dock at the beach.

The Stellum Black Equinox is a special, limited release from Stellum Spirits, created with meticulous care to celebrate the arrival of the Vernal Equinox. The process involved layering rare, hand-selected bourbon barrels into the blend until the perfect balance was achieved on the evening of the Equinox, in honor of the changing seasons. This inaugural release is a unique expression of Stellum Bourbon, delivering a complex, layered profile that showcases the brand’s craftsmanship and dedication to excellence.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A rich golden amber, radiating with warmth and depth.
• Nose: The nose is beautifully subdued at first, opening with aromas of ripe cantaloupe and fresh-cut grass. As it aerates, notes of sugar maple and toffee emerge, joined by a hint of wood spice and a touch of white pepper, adding subtle complexity.
• Palate: The palate reveals dried apricot and honey upfront, unfolding into layers of Saigon cinnamon and bruleéd orange. These rich, sweet flavors transition seamlessly into more delicate notes of grapefruit and jasmine, creating a harmonious balance.
• Finish: The finish is long and slowly developed, with the floral jasmine blooming and leading to deep flavors of sorghum and wood tannins. The final moments are beautifully rounded out with a rich dark chocolate note.

With Water: A few drops of water enhance the fruit-forward qualities of the whiskey, bringing the floral notes to the forefront and softening the alcohol's heat from the back of the tongue to the cheekbones, adding a smooth, velvety finish.

The spice builds with clove and brown sugar, while hints of cinnamon-apples and chocolate emerge before transitioning into the charred oak tannins that add structure and richness.
• Finish: The finish is long and comprehensive, touching all parts of the palate. It begins with a delicate sweetness of lemon and honey, layered with bold clove, ginger, and tobacco spice.

On the palate, clove and ginger take center stage, with a touch of burnt orange peel adding complexity. The rich dessert-like notes of brown butter and caramel become more subtle but still present, creating a smooth, rounded finish.
