Clyde May's Straight Rye

Full bodied with subtle rye, not super harsh or in your face

Nose - stewed sour apple, white pepper, licorice, bread, clove, butterscotch, vanilla, allspice, eucalyptus, spearmint, light oak, dusty corn, bubble gum, cinnamon, melon, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - sour apple, caramel, clove, allspice, cinnamon, licorice, bubble gum, barrel spice, maple syrup, sweet corn, rye spice, spearmint, finishing medium length with rye spice, mint, and barrel char flavors. This is not my favorite rye profile. It’s sweet, sour, minty, and bitter. The flavors are muted and not well integrated. While the bourbon is not spectacular, I much prefer it to the rye.
