Cleveland Wheat Penny 1958 Full Proof Bourbon Whiskey

Wheat Penny 1958 Full Proof is Cleveland Whiskey's wheated bourbon bottled without dilution: 115 proof (57.5% ABV), non-chill filtered, against 94 proof for the standard Wheat Penny. The recipe is the same: 51% corn, the legal minimum for bourbon, with 45% wheat and 4% malted barley, one of the most wheat-heavy mash bills on the market. Cleveland Whiskey, founded in Cleveland, Ohio by Tom Lix in 2009, does not age in the usual way: young bourbon goes into pressure-capable stainless steel tanks with cut and measured wood, and the pressure is cycled to force the whiskey in and out of the wood, doing in days what a rickhouse does over years. Wheat Penny is finished with black cherry and toasted oak, and at full proof, with no chill filtration, everything the wood gave up stays in the bottle. Cleveland describes a shimmery warm golden color, honey wheat bread and toasted caramelized almonds on the nose, and a creamy mouthfeel with oak and rich, baking-spiced bread pudding that lingers long after the sip. The name comes from 1958, the last year the Mint struck the wheat-back cent, and a real wheat penny is fixed to every cork.
