		(AP) — Alabama is in a fight over whether to name an official state whiskey, one that has its origins in Alabama's rich history of bootlegging.
		The Legislature overwhelmingly passed a resolution declaring Conecuh Ridge Fine Alabama Whiskey as the "official state spirit," but Gov. Bob Riley vetoed the resolution Thursday.
		May's whiskey is a product of his family tree.

	Ala. 'state spirit' is son's tribute to fine moonshiner
		Conecuh Ridge is actually made in Bardstown, Ky., by Kentucky Bourbon Distillery, using a bourbon mash that detours from Clyde's original formula.
		Conecuh Ridge (it's pronounced con-NEK-uh), is a raised spine that snakes through the middle of the county and was once known nationally for its homemade liquor.
		Their dad usually placed his stills along a creek, near the mouth of one of the many sand-filtered springs that spangle the ridge, feeding the rich fl-belt country to the north and the poorer sandy-soiled land to the south.

		Members of the House overwhelmingly voted to override the governor's veto of a resolution declaring Conecuh Ridge Fine Alabama Whiskey as the official "spirit" of Alabama.
		Alan C. Boothe, D-Troy, sponsor of the whiskey resolution, openly criticized the governor from the House floor Thursday for not supporting what he says is a simple acknowledgement of a legal whiskey company's hard work.
		The company, then-Conecuh Ridge Distillery, was founded in 1997 by Troy businessman Kenny May, who started the company as a salute to the memory of his late father and moonshine maker Clyde May.

	Conecuh Ridge Whiskey Information
		Conecuh Ridge Whiskey, officially marketed as Clyde May's Conecuh Ridge Alabama Style Whiskey, is a recreation of a high-quality aged moonshine whiskey which was produced illegally in Alabama during the mid to late 20th century.
		Conecuh Ridge is described as an "Alabama Style Tippling Whiskey", a rather imprecise designation which basically means that it's patterned after the spirits that would have been available at informal "tippling houses".
		The result is a 90-proof light-bodied sweetish red whiskey considered welcoming to novice drinkers, but not much of a challenge to the palates of Bourbon connoissuers.

		The TBS crew came to "the ridge" last week to film May in the environment that was "conducive" to moonshining a generation ago.
		"Conecuh Ridge Whiskey is the way to continue the family legacy by producing a batch of hand-crafted bourbon using the same techniques, standards and recipes my daddy used," May said.
		Conecuh Ridge is crafted in Kentucky, but,within the next 18 months, May said plans are to open a distillery in Alabama that will one day become a major tourist attraction.

		Anyway, the Conecuh Ridge bottle does not even come close to resembling the bottle's "image" that was illustrated in a Union Springs article earlier this year.
		Instead of a rounded bottle displaying the state of Alabama and a whiskey still, the bottle has a rectangular shape with a medium neck and an orange/amber and grey label.
		But the whiskey is so smooth and the nose is so sweet and mellow, it's hard to believe it's anything less than 4 years old.

	Publisher’s Comments By Jim Cox SA Publisher
		Alabama’s open meetings law has served this state well since early in the 20th Century but a recent ruling by the State Supreme Court so riddled it with holes as to make it all but obsolete.
		This session has given Alabama an official fruit, an official insect and an official state spirit (the liquid kind, not the supernatural).
		He named it "Conecuh Ridge Fine Alabama Whiskey" and then had the great idea of getting Alabama legislators to label it the state’s official brand.

		The Republican governor vetoed the idea because he said Alabama has always reserved official designations for natural, historic or native items and has never given the designation to a commercial product.
		The vote means the whiskey joins other official state symbols, including the yellowhammer state bird, the largemouth bass as official fresh water fish and the pecan as the nut.

	Sweet Home Alabama
		That is the case in Alabama, where the state Senate recently passed a resolution that named "Conecuh Ridge Fine Alabama Whiskey" as the "official state spirit."
		Rather than saddling us normal folk (a minority, I admit) with all sorts of nonsensical laws which are nothing but a pain in the neck, lawmakers should spend at least 28 days a month designating stuff.
		If the Alabama Congress can appoint a state whiskey, then the legislative bodies of both the individual states and the US government should take notes and follow suit.

	Dennis' Whiskey Corner: Corn
		A fine, even-keeled 8 year old 80° bourbon with a strong flavor on the palate. It is smooth, almost sweet, with no sharp peak or aftertaste. Owned by United Distillers. Also comes in a variety of other ages and proofs.
		Illegal whiskey or other liquor. Term comes from the practice of making or transporting it at night. Also called Corn Liquor, White Liquor, White Lightning, and dozens of other aliases. My advice is to stay away, but if you chose not to listen to me, read on...
		In my not-so-humble opinion whiskey should be served in a clear and un-tinted glass, no taller than it is wide, of simple shape (preferably cuboid or cylindrical), with a thick base. Any distiller's name or logo should be tolerated (with reservations) only if it is etched into the glass rather than painted onto it.
