I’ve always been a huge fan of Clyde maze and his Alabama juice water. I’ve had just about every version of Clyde Mayes. Until I got a hold of this one I had never had his rye. This is a very potent rye. Your initial hit is cinnamon. It’s heat pepper, and that unstable rye Almost like taste in a piece of a tree. I don’t know how else to explain it. I drink it straight normally that’s normally what I do with all of them as I drink it straight no ice no water no anything. And it’s very good straight. It takes you a little bit because it is hot. With a cube of ice, it sets it down, mellows it and it becomes a very pleasant zipper. Take an attitude to Ginger or seltzer or 7-Up or anything like that and my God it is fantastic. I’m not a big mixed guy, but this was fantastic and a mix.
