Subtle Spirits is a contemporary independent bottling brand pairing each release with original label art.
Quixotic is a straight rye whiskey comprised of three barrels, all just shy of 6 years old and bottled at 101 proof. The nose shows some nice fruit tones like dried papaya and nectarine, unripe (green) wild strawberries, and lots of brown butter and brown sugar, all balanced by savory aromas; cinnamon, kola nut, pink peppercorn, and vanilla bean. Together they form a sum greater than its parts. The fruit and subtle sweetness is well-integrated with the oak and gives way to a very smooth and lingering spice on the finish.
Cheyne's notes
101 pf - MGP Rye 95% - 1/3 finished in fresh dump Pinot Barrels, Toasted. Mellowed entry palate, like a filtered whiskey. The spice isn't as forward as traditional MGP 95% ers. As I'm spending more time with this, the tea notes are beautifully woven in there. The wood tannins are sticky and holding the palate together. The finish is long with country peach tea & ginger bread cookie.
