What at first seems like an apple pie bomb breaks down into many disparate but friendly elements. First and foremost, butter, butter, and butter are present. Then comes toffee, peanut brittle, stewed apple and pear, baking spices, molasses, and spiced nuts. Rich, spiced, and creamy on the palate, Clyde May’s evokes holiday traditions of baked apples, eggnog, and fruitcake.
The finish leaves that same apple pie bomb lingering on the palate, fading into pressed cider and leather.
