Clyde May’s whiskeys, both bourbon and rye, are known for their distinct flavor profiles. Bourbon expressions often feature notes of caramel, vanilla, oak, and dried fruit, with a smooth and velvety palate. The rye whiskeys, while also offering caramel and vanilla, introduce more pronounced rye spice and herbal notes, sometimes even reminiscent of cilantro or green peppercorns. Both types are often praised for their long, satisfying finishes, though some reviews note a lingering spice or a slight burn, especially in higher proof offerings.
