Clyde May's Straight Rye Whiskey
Clyde May's Straight Rye Whiskey uses the bold slogan "Distilled since 1946. Legal since 2001", and its exciting history explains why.
Founder Clyde May was born in 1922, and as a young man, he was part of the Army's 77th Infantry Division during World War II, where he was wounded. In 1946, Clyde May began distilling and making a moonshine that quickly became known and sought after in the state of Alabama, where he operated – though perhaps not entirely legally. Consequently, Clyde May was imprisoned for 8 months in 1973, and immediately after his release, he started a new distilling apparatus. The story has a happy ending, as in 2001, Clyde May's became the first whiskey brand in the US to be designated as the first official "state spirit" in the USA: the Official State Spirit of Alabama™.
Clyde May's Straight Rye Whiskey is distilled in a copper pot still and aged in new American oak barrels for a minimum of 4 years. The aroma reveals notes of flowers, honeysuckle, and apricot. The taste and finish are soft and complex with spices (black pepper and oak spices), citrus, and tannins. Non-chill filtered. 46% - 70 cl.
