The Navy Veteran's Pressure-Aged Playhouse
Founder Tom Lix — a Navy veteran — started Cleveland Whiskey in 2009 (first bottles shipped 2013) around a rapid-aging technology: computer-controlled pressure cycles force spirit in and out of oak inside stainless-steel vessels, compressing years of barrel interaction into days. The company's line spans traditional and experimental expressions, and Magic Rabbit is the playful one — the "Cleveland Underground" experimental line, marketed as "an adult version of America's favorite sweet treat": creamy milk chocolate, peanut-butter nuttiness, and whiskey. The Beverage Testing Institute's panel found Nutter Butter, heavily roasted peanut, mild dark chocolate, and fudge — round, lively, dryish medium-to-full body.
