From Illegal Still to Limited Release: Clyde May’s 9-Year Cask Strength Whiskey

Over 70 years ago, Clyde May brewed his first batch of whiskey illegally. He went to federal prison for eight months for his crime, but that wasn’t enough to put a damper on his passion, and he set up a new still the day he was released. A true craftsman, he aged his small batch moonshine in oak charred barrels and added over-dried apples to create a unique Alabama Style whiskey that is now the official spirit of Alabama.

In June, Clyde May’s Whiskey announced the release of a limited edition 9-Year Cask Strength Whiskey. It’s strong at 117-proof, but the Alabama style with hints of green apple and cinnamon rounds out the flavors and creates a smooth finish. Last year’s version sold out in months, so find this whiskey fast for a taste of Alabama history.
