Clyde May’s Special Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey 110 Proof

This is a bold, straightforward bourbon. Brown sugar and chocolate give the profile a rich, familiar core, while clove adds a dry, spicy edge. Bright fruit keeps the sweeter side lively rather than heavy. Sweetness, spice, and fruit come together clearly, giving this straight bourbon enough contrast to keep each sip interesting.

At 110 proof (55% ABV), Clyde May’s Special Reserve brings substantial strength, so the pour can be adjusted to suit the moment. Serve it neat for the most direct expression, over a large cube for a cooler, softer drink, or use it when a bourbon cocktail needs a firmer backbone. The 750 mL size fits easily into a home bar, while the clear flavor cues make it simple to choose a serving style.
