Kentucky is certainly the top of the heap when it comes to making bourbon. Don’t sell Alabama short though. They take their Whiskey pretty seriously too. It is after all their official state drink. You know what New Jersey’s is? Yep, cranberry juice. Man are we boring.
The king of the hill in Alabama is Clyde May’s . He put Alabama style whiskey on the map. Alabama Style is good (adding apples into the mash bill) but for me Clyde’s straight bourbon is what I’m interested in. To say Clyde’s has an interesting history is an understatement. It says it right on the bottle . Available since 1946, legal since 2001. Hmmmm. After a little stint in jail for bootlegging Clyde was famously quoted ” it’s better to break the law than to cut corners”. It has become the motto of the distillery. This is my kind of place. I think Hazzard County was set in Georgia but there is no doubt in my mind that Bo & Luke were inspired by Clyde.
For years I’ve been trying to get my own barrel of Clyde May’s. They always have just offered me their Alabama Whiskey. Don’t get me wrong, that is really good, but I’m a purist and like high proof straight bourbon. Thankfully, my persistence has finally paid off. I was able to select a 5-year-old bourbon last year and it has finally arrived.
Single barrels of Clyde May’s are super limited. This mash bill is a high corn 75%, 21% Rye & 4% Barley.
She was born on 4-18-16 & bottled on 7-27-21.
A nice 102 Proof but you’d never know it!

True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
The juice here is so pure and elegant, it tastes much more like a $80/bottle of Tequila than one going for half the price, but that’s why I love these single barrel deals so much. The value is insane. This Reposado spent just under 12 months in used bourbon barrels. Golden brown with fresh agave, oak & vanilla. Remarkably smooth finish. This is one of those oddball tequila’s that is good enough to just sip on the rocks but cheap enough to use to make one hell of a margarita.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
Our third single barrel of Whistle Pig and the first time we have our hands on their 6-year PiggyBack bottling. This one leads with a nose of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, butterscotch and toffee. On the palate, I get a lot of citrus & peach with a touch of lavender & black cherry. The finish here is strong & long with spicy dried fruits and caramel notes that linger. This one was distilled in house in Vermont, and as anyone can tell you with the farm releases, they always deliver the best of punches. This one comes in at 109.8 Proof.
