Ezra Brooks 90 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Sweet dusty corn with a hint of cherry. Not too complex, but punchy. Slight lingering finish. My go to budget sipper.

For a bourbon, most of which I'm not partial to, this is quite acceptable and delightful! It is several parts sweet and vanilla and sour and citrus and I sort of get the sandalwood overtones but not really. Fairly complex for what I'm thinking is only a notch or two above an entry-level bourbon? The tartness blends with the wood making it quite delightful! It does remind me of Maker's Mark to some extent. Perhaps that's why I like it more than most ordinary Bourbons. And it doesn't burn on the finish like many popular but terrible "Budweiser of bourbon" brands.

Decent. Better over ice.

Nice full flavor.

Best sub $20 bottle around!

Spicy

Tasted at Lux Row distillery. A decent mid tier bourbon but nothing too exciting
