The company
Cleveland Whiskey uses a patented pressure-based process to finish spirits in a fraction of the time conventional barrel aging requires. The company argues that traditional whiskey economics are constrained by years of storage and inventory carrying costs, and that its process frees capital and lets it respond faster to changing market demand.
The company, led by founder and CEO Tom Lix, has used crowdfunding repeatedly, building a base of more than 2,000 investors. Its most recent Highlander round has closed; RegAMagazine keeps this profile live for readers following the company and any future offering.
What the company says
The following statements come from the issuer's offering materials and have not been independently verified by RegAMagazine:
- Backed by two U.S. patents
- Award-winning spirits produced with its process
- Strategy to scale as a technology platform across global markets
Questions we'd ask before investing
- What are current case volumes, distribution footprint and gross margins?
- Does the company license its technology, and on what terms?
- How have earlier crowdfunding investors fared on valuation from round to round?
Key risks
- Spirits is a crowded, distribution-dependent category.
- Repeat crowdfunding rounds dilute earlier investors.
- Class F shares may carry different rights from other classes; check the Form C.
- General Reg CF risks apply: shares are generally restricted from resale for one year, there is usually no market to sell them afterward, and you can lose your entire investment. See our Investor Risk Guide.
