A 12 Year Cleveland Bourbon Club Pick receives a 7/10. In line with other MGP products, this exhibits a dark, rich amber hue. The aroma is reminiscent of bubblegum, followed by a palate of creamy vanilla and molasses. My sole complaint is an excessive amount of black pepper in the finish; otherwise, it's excellent.

The aroma presents sweet wood and vanilla notes, with a hint of alcohol burn at the finish. The palate is light, featuring aged wood, tobacco, and rye spice. The conclusion is mildly warm and gentle. It's acceptable but not outstanding.
Smells like sweet candy corn, with a strong sense of vanilla. Vanilla is prominent upfront, followed by spicy cinnamon on the finish. It goes down smoothly with a slight burn. Not overwhelming.
This review pertains to the 6-year expression; that bottle is not listed on distiller, however, the tasting notes are quite similar.
10-year bottle. Scored 91 points. A very well-structured Bourbon with caramel, vanilla, and gentle oak.
Solid MGP, which I prefer more after hearing it described as white peaches.
