Product description
“Cleveland American Bourbon” is probably not a category that will conquer the world (in my lifetime), but we take our hats off to Mother Nature for this challenge.
Tom Lix, who lives for the idea of accelerating the maturation process of whiskey, founded Cleveland Whiskey Company in 2007. After several years of experimentation, he patented a system of pressure aging of distillates, which shortens the maturation from several years to several days and deprives the angels of the so-called angel's share. The whiskey spends 6 months in oak barrels, after which it is poured into a steel vat and mixed with barrel staves chopped into pulp. For the next 7 days, this mixture is exposed to pressure and temperature, which makes the whiskey take on characteristics corresponding to aging in a traditional warehouse for 5-7 years.
