This fall, Clyde May’s is launching a Special Reserve whiskey, the first line extension in the brand’s history, which will be available for sale in limited quantity. Clyde May’s Special Reserve is based on original recipes created by Clyde himself, the company says. Three distinct higher-proof Alabama-style whiskies were created to characterize the best features of five to six year-old bourbon stock. The bourbon is aged up to six years and finished non-cold filtered with a slight hint of apple, in the Alabama style, it adds. The final liquid was bottled at 110 proof, and will be available in different lots, each exhibiting subtle variation and tasting notes. Launched in October, Special Reserve is available for purchase nationwide and online for $70.
