Old Ezra 7 year old Barrel Strength

Old Ezra’s owner Luxco historically has played the role of whiskey négoçiant sourcing liquid from third-party distillers. In 2018 the company opened its own distillery in Bardstown Ky. where it’s now laying down whiskey. While we wait for it to mature we’ll happily savor the sourced version. This is Ezra Brooks’ first ever barrel-proof bourbon and it’s a beauty. A spice storm of cinnamon clove ginger and roasted pecan greets the palate easing into sweet notes of melted caramel chocolate macaroons marzipan and crème brûlée. Earthy hints of sandalwood and tobacco complete the finish making this everything a great bourbon should be. Number 7 in the 2019 Top 20
