Old Ezra 7 Year Barrel Strength Bourbon

Honey, spice, super faint nutty, sharp flavour but quite smooth for barrel proof (but still packs a punch). Notes from memory a couple months ago. Pairs really well with snack foods like cured meats, chocolate, chocolate ice cream.

Have a slight cold so I can’t go into great detail but I do get slight char similar to a very lightly peated scotch mostly noticeable in the finish. Overall extremely well balanced and easily drinkable especially for the high ABV.

Lots of heat on the nose like red hots. A little water tames the heat. Dusty up front followed by brown sugar, minimal fruit. A little orange citrus. Hard to explain but I like it. Lingering brown sugar, cinnamon, touch of orange. The brown sugar sweetness lingers with a long finish and slight oaky bitterness. Unique. Great round mouthfeel. The oaky bitterness for me is keeping it from a higher score. Still highly recommend, especially when on sale

Very satisfying. Quality sipper. Enjoyable all the way through. Sweetness and nuttiness comes through on the palate and finish.
