Clyde May's Straight Bourbon

The nose starts with ripe apples, brown sugar, soft vanilla, sponge cake and soft baking spices. The palate is mildly rich and fills the mouth with a smooth but spicy creaminess that is strong with cinnamon as brown sugar and apples round out the taste. The finish is medium with a lasting baking spiciness while the vanilla creaminess fades. Overall the spiciness leans more towards overwhelming the palate, as the other notes are not strong enough and get drowned out a bit too easily.

This single barrel picked by Maria’s Whiskey Club is better than the standard shelf bottle.

Rye nose? Vanilla. Little leather/pit fruit at the end. Super smooth.

Sweet, brown sugar
