After its long maturation it was finished for an additional four months by steeping American oak, French oak and cherry wood into the whiskey, a wood-finishing technique Conecuh Brands developed for this release. The three woods add a medley of fruit, caramel and vanilla to the rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story of Clyde May's began in 1946 with Clyde May, a legendary Alabama moonshiner whose whiskeys became the stuff of Southern folklore. When it came to making a special batch, Clyde preferred to work with rye because of the spice it gave the spirit, and this release honours that legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect notes of oak, coffee beans and vanilla over that rye spice, with fruit and caramel from the wood finish. At cask strength it is bold, so a little water helps it open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA one-time bottling with a story, it is a fine gift for rye collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prominent rye spice with oak, coffee beans and vanilla.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruit, caramel and vanilla from American oak, French oak and cherry wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 113 proof, non-chill filtered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clyde May's Whiskey (Conecuh Brands)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight Rye Whiskey, cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 91% rye, 9% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 9 years in ex-bourbon barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 113 proof (56.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 months with American oak, French oak and cherry wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alabama, United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat and add a little water to tame the heat.
