Clyde May's750 ml46% ABV

Classic non-flavored straight bourbon with a warm spicy finish

This handcrafted straight bourbon whiskey opens with an inviting nose of sweet honey, fresh mint, and orange zest. The palate is medium-bodied and warm, revealing soft oak tannins alongside notes of juicy fruit, spice, and toasted wood.

The story behind it

The maker

The brand was founded to honor the legacy of Clyde May, a legendary Alabama moonshiner who hand-crafted high-quality spirits in the hills of Conecuh County starting in the late 1940s. Today, the company preserves his meticulous attention to detail and traditional southern distilling heritage.

How it is made

Clyde May's Straight Bourbon is aged in heavily charred new American oak barrels at the brand's partner distillery & rickhouse. It represents a classic non-flavored straight bourbon expression, separate from their famous Alabama-style whiskey.

From Alabama, USA
