Tasting Notes
Cleveland Underground Black Cherry Wood Bourbon is a curious experiment, born from unconventional aging. Using a patented Pressure Aging process on a classic bourbon mashbill, Cleveland Whiskey infuses the spirit with black cherry wood, sidestepping traditional barrel aging limitations. The result is a 94-proof whiskey that aims for a unique profile. Initially, the black cherry wood is prominent, offering a smooth, slightly tart, and sweet spice note, without relying on artificial flavors or added sugar. However, some find that the cherry notes fade quickly, giving way to a more alcohol-forward character. The initial sweetness can also diminish, leaving a shorter finish. It's a bourbon that sparks debate, best approached with an open mind and a willingness to explore outside the usual bourbon landscape.
