Clyde May's Alabama Style American Whiskey, 42.5%
Price: $36 ● Issue: Fall 2018 ● Reviewer: Jeffery Lindenmuth
A host of sweet confections awaits in this whiskey, which appears to be Kentucky bourbon with some types of added flavoring. Big caramel gives way to angel food cake, crème brûlée, lemon chiffon, and batter. But it doesn't stray far enough to resemble a flavored whiskey, delivering an oily texture and nice viscosity, oozing with apple, citrus, grape soda, and hints of leather. Not one for the purist, but enjoyable all the same.
