Stellum Black Bourbon

Nose: heavy molases, brown sugar, sweet tabacco. Palate: very rich mouth feel. Very sweet with notes of tabacco, oak, caramel, and brown sugar. Finish has a nice black pepper note. Long finish. GREAT Update: the flavor profile has changed since the last time i tasted this bottle and im not really a fan. I still love the sweetness of it, but theres a new and overpowering cheap tasting alcohol burn on the back end. Also a STRONG black pepper note now, over powering. Not really a fan anymore. Reminds me of when you drink something like a Four Loko, its very sweet and tasty on the intro….but then what follows is bitter and cheap alcohol flavor. No bueno. Though, it was a 4.75 for me last time…this time i would say it’s a 3 maybe. I’ll average those scores for around a 3.75.

Super strong brown sugar and molasses and cinnamon on the nose, very fragrant. Super dark and smooth, gives a sweet earthiness / tobaccco. Nice creamy texture, dark brown sugar and molasses carries to the palate. Cinnamon and black pepper on the nose. Really good and a great proof as well

Bright, floral, honey, vanilla, mildly spicy. Summer fruit on the tongue. Some cocoa and oak and caramel. Spicy relatively short finish. Like a better version of Four Roses single barrel.

Flaviar bottle 01/2023. Actually quite nice and not as ethanolic as the proof would suggest. Straightforward vanillas and caramels with nutty leather notes, with none of the fruity, herbal, or flowery riff-raf. Solid choice that is an easy sipper. Smooth, but nothing too special.

The nose is a sweet blend of vanilla and caramel with just a hint of bitterness underneath. The sweetness follows through into the palette, mixing with warm baking spices and syrup. The finish is bright and smooth and finally mellows out the sweetness.

Nose is light with a semi sweet nose of carmel and vanilla. Taste is of warm baking spices to complement the nose, like cinnamon. The finish is fairly clean despite the kick of warmth at the front of the sip
