Clyde May's whiskey is named for WWII veteran Clyde May who returned to Alabama for a life of moonshining. This tradition lives in his son Kenny May, who produced his first (legal) batch of whiskey for sale in 2002 and was the original owner of the brand. Kenny May felt the product faithfully reproduced the product his father made. The whiskey itself is a blended grain whiskey of corn, rye, and barley, which we believe suggests a flavor profile somewhat similar to bourbon (though it is not, of course, officially a bourbon whiskey). It is aged in new American oak barrels (another trait of bourbon). They suggest drinking neat.
Nose: On the nose there’s a whole lot to love: applesauce, caramel, butterscotch, and coconut notes in various degrees. It’s a little boozy, but the sweet stuff shines through. On the palate, the grain is present but far from overpowering, with that butterscotch particularly strong. There’s a touch of Port character in there, a richness that hints at raisins and dried figs.
Finish: The finish is simple and the alcohol burn mellows over time as it aerates in the glass; it’s quite fun to sip on.
