Clyde May’s Whiskey recently became the official North American Whiskey sponsor of New York’s UBS Arena and hockey’s New York Islanders.
Starting with this 2022 NHL season, the collaboration brings together the official state spirit of Alabama and the hockey pride of Long Island.
The multi-year agreement is one of the first of its kind for the new UBS Arena.
A statement from Clyde May’s explains that the whiskey will be featured throughout UBS Arena in the venue’s eight bars, club spaces, including the UBS Club, and private suites.
There will also be a dedicated and branded Clyde May’s Whiskey Bar located in the Tailgate Bar area on the upper concourse. The bar is designed with southern comfort and honoring the legacy of the moonshiner for whom the brand and bar is named.
The bar will also highlight a new, signature cocktail … The Clyde May’s Islander Smash, a take on a classic whiskey smash.
“We are thrilled to bring our legendary Clyde May’s Whiskey to UBS Arena and The New York Islanders during their 50th anniversary season and beyond,” said Roy Danis, Conecuh Brands CEO. “Long Island is not only the home of one of the most dedicated hockey fan bases, but of Conecuh’s headquarters as well. We look forward to bringing the fans the ultimate Clyde May’s experience.”
Clyde May’s Whiskey story dates back to 1946, where Clyde was among the best moonshiners in the country. Today’s whiskeys and bourbons are made with a proprietary mash bill and aged in first-fill, new American oak barrels. The portfolio includes Clyde May’s Original Alabama Style Whiskey, Clyde May’s Straight Bourbon, Clyde May’s Straight Rye, and Clyde May’s Special Reserve Bourbon.
