Clyde May's Alabama Style Whiskey (85 Proof)

Sweet Fruit on the nose Sweet caramel with some lasting spice Slight burn to end

I’ve reviewed this once before and I’m gonna leave it how I had it is I think my notes from last time were pretty spot on. I just get very little from this with a bit of alcohol note coming through in the nicest part being it finishes kind of sweet, but everything else about it  just comes across very watery and I cannot recommend it. I do like coming back to bottles like this every year or so just to double check and I’ve done several of these tonight and my previous notes to today have stayed pretty consistent which I guess is a good thing in a way.  There are some really good budget Bourbons, or whiskeys out on the market. This simply is not one of them. And I got to say that any of the budget Bourbons that I found have come from major distilleries I cannot think of one that did not come from a major distillery so that’s a pretty good rule of thumb if you’re out there looking on the shelf that you have a much higher chance of success buying a budget bourbon from a major distillery versus a private sourced brand or one that is a prominent.

Strong early on but smoother as you drink
