Cleveland Whiskey Company Wheat Penny Bourbon Whiskey
94 proof NAS Bourbon Cleveland Whiskey Company Cleveland, OH $37.99 51% corn, 45% wheat, 4% malted barley

Subtle chemical note suggesting youth, nice richness, prominent oak from toasted oak finishing, hints of smoke and dark fruit with cooked plum characteristics

Initial sweetness across the front with softness expected from wheat, transitions to back-of-mouth experience with tannic dryness similar to touching tongue to a penny, toffee and Heath candy bar notes, spice developing on second sip with toffee presence

Medium finish with initial hug that mellows and settles without becoming overpowering, some bitterness reminiscent of Granny Smith apple, finishing woods creating depth

Fair
A well-crafted wheat bourbon with innovative black cherry wood finishing that masks its youth effectively but falls slightly short in delivering the forward-facing sweetness expected from the wheat mashbill.
