Clyde May’s Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey brings a softer, rounder style to the Clyde May’s lineup by using wheat as the bourbon’s secondary flavoring grain. The result is a smooth American bourbon built around vanilla, caramel, honey, toasted oak and baking spice, with less of the sharp peppery character commonly associated with higher-rye bourbon.

The whiskey opens with sweet vanilla and caramel, followed by honeyed grain, warm oak and gentle baking spice. Wheat helps round the palate, producing a softer texture that makes the bourbon approachable neat while still giving it enough body for classic whiskey cocktails.

This release also marks a significant expansion of the modern Clyde May’s portfolio. Conecuh Brands confirmed the Straight Wheated Bourbon as the brand’s newest expression in 2026 and reported a Gold Medal and 91-point score at the 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

With its combination of mature bourbon character, softer wheated structure and easy-drinking profile, Clyde May’s Straight Wheated Bourbon is a strong choice for bourbon drinkers who enjoy Maker’s Mark, Weller-style wheated bourbon profiles, mellow sipping whiskey and approachable premium American whiskey.
