{"title":"Cleveland Underground","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCleveland Whiskey calls itself a technology company that happens to make whiskey, and founder Tom Lix — a serial tech entrepreneur who set up shop inside a Cleveland manufacturing incubator in 2009 — cheerfully admits the industry considers him a heretic. The reason is pressure aging. Whiskey is distilled the traditional way and briefly aged in new charred oak, then moved into stainless steel tanks with wood cut into chunks, where alternating pressure cycles force the spirit in and out of the wood like a sponge in a bucket — compressing years of seasonal barrel breathing into about a week. Purists have real objections and Lix has real medals: over 60 at international competitions, including 22 gold and double gold. The Underground line is where the technology gets interesting rather than merely fast. Because the wood doesn't need to be watertight or barrel-shaped, Cleveland can finish bourbon on species no cooper could ever build a cask from — black cherry, apple, sugar maple, hickory, and honey locust — each imparting flavors that traditional oak aging simply can't produce. Black cherry brings a subtle tartness over vanilla and toffee; sugar maple runs sweeter; hickory turns smoky and savory. The spent wood even gets a second life as bourbon-infused SmokerBricx for grilling. Love it or argue with it, there's nothing else like it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Cleveland Underground collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cleveland-underground-black-cherry-whiskey","title":"Cleveland Underground Black Cherry Whiskey","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Whiskey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750mL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProof:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnderground Black Cherry Wood bourbon delivers a unique rich textured and well-rounded bourbon with light flavor from the cherry wood with a slightly tart, slightly sweet spice note.
