Cleveland Underground Bourbon Finished with Hickory Wood, 47%
Price: $45 ● Issue: Spring 2018 ● Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton
Grassy aromas mingle with white pepper, honeysuckle, jasmine, and newsprint on the nose. The palate rushes through sweet vanilla-cake and ripe fruit flavors, with strong oak and alcohol influence, to a finish that is mostly wood with some pleasant chocolate and herbal notes. Disjointed at times, but water helps bring it together.
