CLYDE MAYS CASK STRENGTH 10 YEAR 750 ML

The nose packs a bit of heat, but releases tantalizing aromas. Notes of vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar and fresh cut apples with a base aroma of freshly baked bread. On entry, the 10 Year Cask Strength is smooth but assertive, with brown sugar, caramel and vanilla flavors. As the liquid pools on the tongue, flavor blooms (with a touch of heat). Bright notes of toasted oak, lots of rye spice, black pepper, and some fruit notes expand and overwhelm. Long, strong, and slowly fading, with a decent amount of ethanol burn. Really enjoyable though, with lingering flavors of sweet bread, oak, and some chocolate. As the finish fades, it’s surprisingly clean, leaving none of the circus peanut sweetness behind that many bourbons leave.
