Cleveland Underground is a series of whiskey that uses the Cleveland technology to obtain flavors from woods that are not normally used in barrel production (because they “leak like a sieve,” according to the marketing website). This is the apple wood expression, that uses the accelerated aged bourbon and gives an extra infusion of apple wood. They suggest looking for flavor notes of “baking spice.”

Distillery Information

Tom Lix founded Cleveland Whiskey in 2009. Lix, a whiskey visionary who developed a truly disruptive piece of technology, invented his own special maturation technique, one capable of aging spirits much faster. Cleveland Whiskey is aged in new charred oak barrels before being cut into pieces and placed with the Whiskey in a special pressurization chamber. This particular chamber makes the wood breath the spirit in and out, imitating years of the natural maturation process. Cleveland Distillery also has their line of five Underground exotic wood finishes. These unique woods have special flavor profiles. Though unfit for barrel-making, the special pressure aging process allows for their signature Bourbon to be pressure-aged with large chunks of black cherry wood which add a subtle tartness and sweet and spicy nuance.
