Clyde May’s Alabama Style Whiskey is a unique expression from the legacy of Clyde May, crafted to reflect the smooth, rich character typical of Southern-style whiskeys. Made from a high-rye mash bill and aged in charred oak barrels, it delivers a delicate balance of sweetness, spice, and oak, making it approachable yet full of depth.
In the glass, it pours a warm amber-golden hue. The nose is inviting, revealing aromas of vanilla, caramel, honeyed malt, toasted oak, and gentle baking spices, complemented by subtle notes of dried fruits and nutty undertones. On the palate, it is smooth and medium-bodied, offering flavors of rich caramel, honey, vanilla, light toffee, roasted nuts, and a touch of cinnamon spice. The finish is medium to long, warming, and pleasantly lingering, leaving hints of oak, malt, and soft spice.
Perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour, Clyde May’s Alabama Style Whiskey also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, nut-based pastries, roasted meats, and aged cheeses, making it a versatile and refined addition to any whiskey collection.
