Cleveland Underground Tasting Notes

Posted: July 26, 2016 in American Whiskies, Whiskies

Cleveland Underground ‘Uncommon Barrel Collection’ Black Cherry Wood 47%

Bourbon Whiskey finished with black cherry wood

Tasted: Sept 2015

Nose: Crisp corn and dusty spice with some youthful herbal but bitter rye and oak. With time a touch of burnt toffee and orange conserve emerges.

Palate: Opens with the burnt toffee and oily corn. Straightforward but relatively deep. However the burnt toffee is a little intrusive and over time becomes the dominating flavour.

Finish: Long with the now astringent, herbal rye battling the burnt toffee and corn for supremacy.

Conclusion: It appears to be a simple, inexpensive Bourbon
