Stellum Fibonacci Rye Blend #1

This release of Stellum Black Specialty Rye celebrates the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers, each the sum of the two previous numbers. Six separate rye blends were combined in accordance with this sequence. Just like so many other presentations of Fibonacci, the blend that it produced was both balanced and beautiful.

Stellum Fibonacci Rye Blend #1 Tasting Notes

Nose: Citrus forward with a delicate spice on the back and lasting earthy notes of tobacco and oak.

Palate: Honey and lemon hit the tongue with a slight earthiness reminiscent of black tea. Brown butter and molasses come forward revealing the softer side of the whiskey followed by clove and brown sugar. A touch of cinnamon-apples and chocolate come through before revealing the charred oak tannins.

Finish: A long finish that touches each part of the palate. Savory and sweet, the lemon and honey are a delicate sweet base layer to the rich clove, ginger, and tobacco spice forefront. The oak shows through on the finish, highlighting that there is some finely aged whiskey in the blend.

Distillery Information

Stellum Black Bourbon Equinox Blend #1 is part of the company's new line of specialty blends. According to the company’s 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 didn’t 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, it’s not surprising that the bourbon is so cohesive it doesn’t 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.
