Clyde Mays Whiskey 750 85pf
| Description: | For hundreds of years, farmers took their excess produce and turned it into liquid gold to help supplement their income. It was a time-honored tradition and the Conecuh Ridge is an area that was renowned for its illegal whiskey-making. At one point, Federal agencies said it had the heaviest concentration of stills in the Us. So, Clyde took to branch farming as he liked to call it. With one eye on his still and the other watching out for the law, Mr. Clyde crafted his own particular style of whiskey. Much of it sold unaged, right from the still as White Lightening. Some of his 'Shine was laid down in charred oak barrels for special aging. He spent his life perfecting the art of small batch whiskey making surrounded by the Alabama pines of the Conecuh Ridge in Bullock County, Al. Constantly experimenting with different whole grains and production methods, he developed what came to be known as "Mr. Clyde's Special Reserve". Working in small batches and with the best local ingredients, like a hint of apples, Clyde produced his warm, amber whiskey. In the deep South, there remain folk who still keep unmarked bottles of Mr. Clyde's Special Reserve tucked away as carefully as family Bibles and precious photographs. Allow the warmth and aroma of Clyde May's Whiskey to transport you down the red-clay roads of Alabama to a simpler time. In a manufactured world, isn't nice to know that some things in life stay true to their roots? There is no way whiskey this good was born in a lab. Clyde May's. The Original Craft Whiskey. BevX Tasting Notes - The color is deep, glimmering bronze with perfect clarity. The generous aromatics are loaded with rich caramel, dried orchard fruits, toffee, butterscotch, nutmeg, spicy rye notes, maple, and candied orange peel. The palate is harmonious and seamless being dry with a pepper edge while offering enough viscosity to give the whiskey length and depth. It finishes with a complex black pepper accent and hints of anise and toasted oak. Sip it straight or make the best Manhattan youve ever had. |
