Clyde May’s 9-Year-Old Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey
On Monday, Alabama whiskey brand Clyde May’s announced the release of Clyde May’s 9-Year-Old Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey.
Aged at least nine years in ex-bourbon barrels, this cask-strength release is distilled from a mashbill composed of 91% rye and bottled at 113 proof.
Clyde May’s finished the limited-edition whiskey by steeping American oak, cherry and French oak wood chips into the whiskey.
“At Conecuh Brands we love to innovate and this unique wood-finishing technique is an example of doing just that. This one-time bottling honors Clyde May’s legacy and represents the craftsmanship and excellence found in all our offerings,” Phil West, vice president marketing at Conecuh Brands, said in a news release. “With a proprietary mash bill and unique wood-finishing technique, this rye offers rich and complex flavors that are bound to captivate even the most discerning whiskey drinker.”
Clyde May’s 9-Year-Old Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey is available at select U.S. retailers at a suggested retail price of $64.99 per 750-milliliter bottle.
