Clyde Mays - Whisky
The Clyde May brand’s motto is “It’s better to break a law than to cut corners.”
Vital Stats: The Clyde May’s Straight Bourbon Whiskey is 92 proof, aged for 5 years, and non-chill filtered.
Appearance: Clear, medium brown.
Nose: Even without actual apples added to the whiskey there is a sweet fruity smell, reminiscent of blackberry and peaches juxtaposed against heavy molasses and brown sugar.
Palate: The first sip starts smooth before transitioning into a medium alcoholic burn with a long finish. The fruity flavor from the nose changes completely, and settles into a sweet and spicy mix not unlike a peach cobbler. The alcoholic burn continues all the way down the throat when served neat. A few drops of water brings out the the sweeter flavor as well as stymies the burn.
