Subtle Alchemy is a series of continuously evolving expressions from our wood cellar. Each blend is unique in its parts and singular in the moment in time it is created. The flavors expressed will follow the ebbs and flows of our barrel program. We created Subtle Alchemy because we think there are magical possibilities with blending. Our other wood cellar releases are blended, but they are blended from a common thread. Subtle Alchemy gives us a voice to let us take completely unrelated works, and develop harmonious complexity. We are starting with three blends, but the future is endless.

This is a brief look at each one of the offerings that have been bottled so far. We have some short notes, but we hope that guests will take it upon themselves to develop their own ideas about each of these special blends. Blend 001 will be available at the second session of The Shelton Brothers The Festival and we will be releasing more information on their availability in our Tasting Room soon, so stay tuned!
