Stellum - Black - Hunter's Moon

STELLUM BLACK HUNTER'S MOON

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.

 

This whiskey is a celebration! At first nose I thought that oak/vanillin would be the overarching flavor, but this whiskey is so
