Ezra Brooks 99 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Caramel, charred oak, cinnamon, butter corn, vanilla.

I usually have an issue with charcoal mellowed/filtered bourbon, but I must say this is exception to the rule. It's very nice sipper even if nose and finish are nothing much, but the taste is very nice. It works even better in drinks, Old Fashioned (with heavy hand on bourbon) or lemonade based (like Lynchburg Lemonade) are working very nicely with Ezra 99.

Great initial bite then quickly smoothes out. For the price, it has quickly become go to bourbon. Very similar to Wild Turkey 101.

Sour oak and caramel candy. All around a good flavor profile albeit a little simple. Has some heat but it disguises itself as a flavor note. It initially reminds me of Old Crow, at its base, but turns it up a few notches with additional flavor and proof. A solid pour.
