Ezra Brooks 99 Proof

Ezra Brooks 99 Proof, NAS, 49.5 %

This bourbon is produced at Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky. The distillery, which opened in 2018, produces whiskeys for the following brands: Rebel Bourbon, Ezra Brooks, Blood Oath, David Nicholson and Daviess County. I believe the mashbill is 78 % corn, 10 % rye, and 12 % barley.

Nose: Mild and approachable. Vanilla, butterscotch and hints of white pepper. With time marshmallows, some toasted oak, and mango.

Taste: Medium to full body. White pepper, toasted oak. Then banana and black pepper. Then mango and perfume. Warm caramel and creamy vanilla.

Finish: Medium long. Fairly heavy on the perfume and pepper all the way. Maple syrup and caramel sauce.

Comment: Fairly straight forward
