Clyde May's Alabama-Style Whiskey

6:00pm to 8:00pm

Clyde May was a moonshiner by trade but a craftsman by heart. Using copper stills, fresh Alabama spring water, and the finest local grains, he vowed to make the best whiskey Alabama had ever tasted. While others sold their moonshine straight, he aged small batches in charred oak barrels and experimented until he created his own unique finish, known as Alabama Style. Clyde also added oven-dried apples to his barrels. The resulting hints of green apple and cinnamon made the whiskey smoother and defined it as Alabama Style. Clyde eventually paid the price for his passion—eight months in federal penitentiary. But that didn't stop him from setting up a new still the day he was released. Now you can enjoy the fruits of his labors.
