Ezra Brooks Distiller's Collection Bourbon

Total wine bottle #2273. Starts smooth buttery with sweet carmel note. Slight rye spice which is surprising as this is supposed to be a high rye bill. Burn is there from the proof but is just about right. Overall would say for the price this is a nice sipper that is above average.

Beautiful smell with no ice. A little burn but I like that.

Strong vanilla on the nose. Strong black pepper burn at first and it didn’t last long. Linger wasn’t strong. Minor chocolate on first sip and peppery burn on finish. Ice doesn’t change much. Not too bad.

This single barrel was bottled at 108 proof and a little over 5 years old. I did not like this bottle. It had just very very little flavor, and what was there was just, meh, at best. The only positive things I can say about it is that it drank way under the proof, and it was very inexpensive.

This is a quintessential bourbon. And just shy of 5 years old. Meijer Steward Select Single Barrel Barrel Pick Barrel#: 7851088 Barreled: 11/21/17 4 Year, 10 Month Old
