Cleveland Underground Bourbon Finished in Black Cherry Wood

Chocolate cherries

The nose of the bourbon is heavy with the scent of cherry and spice. There is also a faint scent of cask wood that slowly grows as you nurse the nose. On the pallet the whiskey possesses a cherried sweetness and a woody body that transitions into rich spice. As the drink matures on the tongue the wood develops into the aftertaste. The spice reminiscient of baking spices and settles into a warm glow in the chest. The whiskey is very good neat, but a drop of water may open it up nicely.

Cherry comes through in the nose, along with a bit of nuttiness. It has a beautiful color. The taste is a wonderful blend of spice and velvet. The finish has a bit of spice and a wonderful taste of charred wood. The 5 rating is with water, which brings out a bit more sweetness.

Gentle heat throughout, sweet cherries on the front, and a bit of a musky finish

Very approachable with a hint of cherry and oak
