Appearance
Brilliant amber color.
Aromatics
The nose is vibrant offering scents of honeycomb, dried fruits, and vanilla bean with accents of star anise, dried flowers, leather, and black pepper.
Flavor
The palate echoes the nose delivering a rich, dried fruit core with waves of dried orange peel, loads of brown baking spices, and butter biscuits.
Intensity & Texture
Full-bodied with generous fruit and spice notes kept in balance by a bright dose of acidity that creates a dry, peppery finish.
Cool Factor
If you haven't noticed the Whiskey drinking world is Rye crazy at the moment and it doesn't seem that it will be slowing anytime soon. This Clyde May's Rye hit's the mark.
Value Grade
null
Analysis
Aged for three-plus years the Clyde May's Rye is great addition to the lineup.
How to Enjoy
Serve neat with a splash of water or a touch of ice (avoid over icing or you will miss all the subtlety offered) or in a classic Manhattan.
