Clyde May’s Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Clyde May’s Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a distinguished bourbon from Alabama, honoring the legacy of master distiller Clyde May. Crafted using traditional methods and a high-rye mash bill, it is aged in charred oak barrels to develop a smooth, rich, and slightly sweet character that balances boldness with refinement.

In the glass, it pours a deep amber with golden highlights. The nose is inviting, revealing aromas of caramel, vanilla, roasted nuts, honeyed malt, and hints of toasted oak and gentle spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, delivering flavors of rich caramel, vanilla, baking spices, dark honey, and lightly toasted oak, complemented by subtle notes of dried fruits and a hint of cinnamon. The finish is long, warm, and satisfying, leaving lingering impressions of sweet oak, malt, and soft spice.

Ideal for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in classic bourbon cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, Clyde May’s Straight Bourbon also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, nut-based pastries, grilled or roasted meats, and aged cheeses, making it a versatile and refined choice for any bourbon collection.
