Clyde May's Conecuh Ridge 3cl

A former officer of the US Treasury said that although legendary moonshiner Clyde May's activities were illegal, he "sure had a reputation for making fine whiskey."

Clyde May's Conecuh Ridge is an 'Alabama whiskey', based on May's practice of adding oven-dried apples to his barrels. Today, they appear to add just a little apple and cinnamon flavouring to batches of 5-6 year old bourbon (rather than actual apple). Quite delicious, but this would mean that it cannot be called whiskey in the EU.
