Old Ezra 7 Year Barrel Strength Bourbon

Wow, this stuff is good. Absolutely shocked at how smooth it is, even with the high proof. Really worth the money if you run across a bottle

Cherry, figs, anise. Not too hot for proof.

Decent, but nothing to set it apart. Vanilla and caramel up front. A bit of cinnamon spice on the finish, but didn’t last long.

Very tasty. Starts off on the fruity side with cherries and apples.. then it leads you to a sweeter side of vanilla cream and caramel.. finishing off with a hit of cinnamon that’s delightfully smooth for 117 proof.

Leather, brown sugar, cinnamon on the nose. A bite of ethanol as well. Ethanol is what I get first on the palate and I’m waiting for something else to develop. Taking a second sip, it’s heavy oak spice. Add that to the proof and I can’t find much else. Maybe some cherry Twizzler on the back end. It drinks heftier than it is, which I don’t appreciate, but I do like the flavors dancing in my mouth and throat at the moment.

I paired this bourbon with a sea salt caramel during the tour at Lux row and it was fantastic. I also needed a couple drops of water to open it up a bit. Great tasting bourbon but probably not one I would add to my collection.
