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.

A nice 102 Proof but you’d never know it!

This is a very rare single barrel Bourbon Whiskey to make its way to Jersey. Maple syrup, butterscotch, caramel & brown sugar with a palate of caramel apple, roasted almond, ripe banana and graham crackers. This one has a full mouthfeel with a nice creamy middle. The finish here lingers with just the right amount of burn. This was born on 2/3/2017 and bottled at 102 Proof. This is a great bottle of Whiskey.
The 2021 Atlas Peak Cabernet is a classic. It’s black in color, with a dynamic nose of cassis, cedar, and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The wine is fabulously concentrated with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging. Ry hit this one out of the park.
97+ Points, Jeb Dunnuck
“Stunning stuff, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label offers a full-bodied, deep, majestic style as well as beautiful aromatics of creme de cassis, violets, flowers, and nicely integrated background oak. It has ultra-fine tannins, flawless balance, and a regal, age-worthy style that has so much to love. It, however, is not going to be for the instant gratification crowd and this actually shut down pretty quickly with air. I would hide bottle for 4-6 years and it’s going to cruise over the following two decades in cold cellars.”
The third release of three batches from Booker’s Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-03 ‘Might Fine Batch.’ These mini-releases have become extremely popular, and for good reason. “The vanilla and brown sugar sweet notes come through very well from the white oak barrels this bourbon aged in for over seven years. The taste is great and full bodied; when I added a splash of water, it opened up some great flavors, with a finish that gives a lovely “Kentucky Hug. My Dad would say that this is a Mighty Fine batch of Booker’s.” -Fred Noe
