Stellum Equinox #1 Bourbon

In the mouth: Lychee and rye spice run roughshod at first up the middle of the palate. There’s a satisfying rye sizzle that runs a ring around the tongue. Cocoa powder forms on the back of the palate and creeps up the roof of the mouth soon thereafter. An oak note that starts a little bitter develops nicely into a sweeter flavor on repeat sips as the leather from the nose begins to blossom as well. Given a little more time I get a hint of pound cake and even some faint red berry notes. Overall this is a tasty pour.
