Nose: With this one I get orange peel, Oak, Corn, Brown Sugar, and a dose of ethanol. You definitely pick up on the Heaven Hill lineage in this Luxco product. Neat: Thick and clingy mouthfeel. Salty with dry roasted peanuts, citrus, maple syrup, and cinnamon. The finish is astringent with oak and black pepper. Splash: a few drops of water really bring the orange/citrus note to the front. It tones down the astringency, but really amps up the black pepper spice. 3 3/4 stars, but I'll round up. I liked this one, but believe that I prefer the drier, less spicy Ezra Brooks 90pf. This one is not available in NC, but I worked out a swap with someone for some Virgin 101 (rumored to be the same stuff, but I find it a little sweeter and less spicy). I think the Old Ezra Barrel Proof is supposed to get a wider distribution. I look forward to trying it.
