Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Clyde May's Alabama Style Whiskey, a 750 ml bottle at 42.5% ABV (85 proof). It leans fruit-forward on the nose and rich on the palate. Expect ripe peach and red delicious apple up front, with fig jam and damp fresh oak underneath. Then comes a heavy, velvety body carrying oak, leather, and tobacco. The finish stays gentle, with a touch of black pepper, warm baking spice, and a soft, cake-like sweetness. That pairing of bright fruit with darker, savory depth is what sets it apart on our shelf. The moderate proof keeps it approachable for someone still finding their way into American whiskey, while the texture gives seasoned drinkers plenty to explore. It rewards slow sipping neat, opens up nicely over ice, and earns a place in a side-by-side tasting flight. We carry it because it offers a distinctive fruit-and-leather profile you won't confuse with anything else, and it's a bottle we're happy to pour for friends.
Pairs well with
- Smoked barbecue — The whiskey's oak, leather, and tobacco notes stand up to smoky, hearty meats, and its fruitiness brightens the char.
- Dark chocolate desserts — The fig jam, baking spice, and cake-like sweetness on the finish echo the richness of dark chocolate.
- Side-by-side tasting night — Its peach-and-apple nose and peppery finish make it a clear contrast point when compared with other whiskeys in a flight.
