Clyde May’s 5-Year Nicholas Single Barrel Select #2 Bourbon Whiskey

It took almost three years for me to be able to pick out my own barrel of Clyde May’s. Before that, I was always just offered me their Alabama Whiskey. Not that it’s not great – it is, but I’m a purist and like high proof straight bourbon. Thankfully, my persistence paid off last and I was able to select a 5-year old Bourbon.

Coming from Alabama, I wasn’t sure how it was going to do…If you’re wondering how I was able to get a second barrel, (while most wait for the chance to pick out their first) I’ll tell you exactly how. The Bourbon Buyers Club. After telling my friends in Alabama we sold our entire barrel in just two days, the team down there was crazy excited (maybe they think we all just drink Cranberry juice) and offered us a second barrel of their prized whiskey. Our club has grown a little bit since our last offering, so I would not wait around too long for this one.
