Old Ezra 7 Year Full Proof Straight Rye

Spicy, maybe a cornbread note

Had it twice yesterday, for the price I’ll pass on getting another bottle. Still the best Ezra I’ve had. It’s very smooth for 114proof and dry but just flat overall in my opinion…

I’m a fan of Old Ezra 7yr bourbon so decided to pull the trigger on this one despite the price tag. The nose makes me think this will be a roller coaster of a whiskey. Sandalwood, walnut, pepper, brown sugar, molasses, bbq baked beans with ethanol fumes. Taste is thick and sweet and all over the map. Spicy like old time ginger-cinammon candy. Apple pie and pepper and oak swimming around in there with vanilla and honey to lighten the darker char spice flavors. Finish is long and hot and spicy - burnt sugar and molasses and oak conclude a wild ride. This bayou bbq rye is on the crazy side but i loved it and will have to test it against my favorites.

Liked this rye - was good
