About this bottle
Clyde May's Cask Strength 9 Year is the barrel-proof expression from the Alabama whiskey brand, named for a moonshiner whose apple-spiced recipe inspired the modern Clyde May's lineup, though this straight bourbon is unflavored and bottled undiluted at whatever proof the barrel yields. Nine years in oak is a longer rest than most bourbons see, and skipping the water-down step at bottling keeps that maturity's full intensity intact. Expect a dense pour with heavy caramel, vanilla, and oak, more heat and concentration than the brand's standard-proof bourbon.
How to drink Clyde May's Cask Strength 9 Year
Add a splash of water and let it sit for a minute before tasting — at cask strength and nine years old, a little dilution opens the caramel and oak rather than diminishing them.
