Cleveland Black Reserve American Bourbon Whiskey

Cleveland Black Reserve is the second offering from Cleveland Whiskey, aging conventionally in the barrel for a full six months before entering the pressurized maturation system. More a technology innovators than distillers, the work of Cleveland Whiskey may not be for the purist at heart, but for those intrepid explorers who don’t mind bending the rules of traditional whiskey making, this may come as a pleasant surprise. Black Reserve Bourbon has exceptional bold notes of warming vanilla with just a hint of smoke.

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.
