Clyde May's Whiskey Sampler
| Description: | Clyde May's Whiskey Three Bottle Miniature Sampler Set 3 x 50ML. Clyde May's bourbon Whiskey With a mash bill of 78% corn, 12% rye, and 10% barley, Clyde May's bourbon is a venture away from their traditional, coined and trade-marked Alabama Style whiskey, which has oven-dried apples added to barrels of new-make whiskey. This straight bourbon was first launched in September of 2016, on Clyde May's birthday and during National Bourbon Heritage Month. The release received a Gold medal in the New York World Wine & Spirits Competition and a 93 rating in the Ultimate Spirits Challenge. Clyde May's Alabama Whiskey continues to be made from the same recipe that Kenneth's father perfected nearly 50 years ago â" a mash of corn, rye and malted barley. Once the grains are distilled, they are aged in oak barrels for an average of five to six years. In April 2004, the State of Alabama designated Clyde May's Conecuh Ridge Alabama Style Whiskey as the "official state spirit." The whiskey also earned the Gold Medal at the WSWA Tasting Competition and the MicroLiquor Spirits Awards in 2012. In addition, it was named one of the Top 50 Spirits of 2012 by Wine Enthusiast, which gave it a score of 93 points. Clyde May's Whiskey has a soft, gentle flavor, and sweet notes of honey, caramel and apple that continue to pay homage to its namesake. Clyde May's Straight Rye Whiskey from Conecuh Ridge Distillery bears the name of the man responsible for the brand, Clyde May. Clyde crafted his first spirits in 1946, but it wasn't until 2001 that the distilling operation was made legal. The company built its name around their popular âAlabama Style Whiskeyâ, which according to their website is finished with a hint of apple. Clyde May's portfolio has now expanded beyond the category of Alabama Style Whiskey, including both a bourbon and a rye whiskey. Clyde May's Straight Rye Whiskey is sourced from Indiana and is aged at least 3 years. It's bottled at 94 proof. Clyde May's is aptly named after Clyde May who was an Alabama farmer. May had a storied history as being a talented moonshiner in the mid-20th century, refining his craft over the years and ultimately spending time in a federal penitentiary because of this. Known for his usage of oven-dried apples, May would add these to his barrels during the aging process resulting in a distinctive flavor profile. In 2001, May's son recreated his father's recipe and legally began distilling Clyde May's. |
