The 5-year-old straight bourbon serves as an ode to Clyde May’s storied history ahead of new distillery opening spring 2024
Conecuh Brands has announced the launch of its newest offering: Conecuh Ridge Bourbon. The exclusive 5-year-old straight bourbon whiskey is to commemorate the future home of Clyde May’s. Conecuh Ridge Distillery will open in Troy, Alabama in Spring 2024. The bourbon was inspired by the first legal bottle of “Conecuh Ridge Whiskey”, the official state spirit of Alabama.
About Conecuh Ridge Bourbon:
Conecuh Ridge Bourbon is masterfully crafted and aged for no less than 5 years in charred white American oak barrels. Every barrel is discriminately selected to offer consistent flavor but with a seemingly individual personality. This 100.6 proof straight bourbon has a deep amber color with a complex aroma of toffee, mint and molasses. Pleasantly sweet to the taste with notes of almonds and rich cocoa accompanied by a long smooth finish. Conecuh Ridge Bourbon is now available at select retailers across the country with a suggested retail price of $49.99.
We at Conecuh Brands are thrilled to release our passion project ahead of Conecuh Ridge Distillery’s grand opening. We’re celebrating this occasion the only way we know how: with a beautiful bottle of whiskey. You could call it an ode but we’ll call it our homecoming.

The story of Clyde May’s began in 1946 where Clyde’s commitment to quality cemented his reputation as one of the best moonshiner’s in the country. When it came to making a special batch, Clyde preferred to work with Rye because of the spice it imparted into the spirit. While most know Clyde as being arrested for moonshining, what many do not know is that it was the 300+ pounds of rye grain in his possession that led to his conviction.
