Ezra Brooks Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 70 cl

Product Information

While a majority of Ezra Brooks still on shelves is likely sourced from Heaven Hill or MGP, it looks like we’re going to start to see some entirely Luxco-produced bottles in the near future! Products and Pricing However, like many storied brands, Ezra Brooks faced its share of tribulations when the Hoffman Distilling Company ceased operations in the 1970s. This could have spelt the end for the whiskey, but it instead marked the beginning of a new chapter. In 1993, the Ezra Brooks brand found new life when it was acquired by Luxco, a company with a keen eye for potential in the spirits industry. Evan Williams distills their own bourbon, whereas Ezra Brooks sources their distillate from Heaven Hill. The second batch of mash is created and combined with the sour mash of the day before. Specific yeast strains are added. This is allowed to ferment. The yeast and other bacteria in the mash (or enzymes if barley has been added) will slowly breakdown the grains’ sugars into alcohol. Obviously, the other grains will have an effect on the flavor of the whiskey you choose. No extra coloring or additives are allowed in bourbon. (Except water, but that probably won’t affect the taste enough to notice.) So other than aging, your biggest affector of taste will be…grains! The corn we know, it’s the base of all bourbon mash bills and contributes to the sweet, hearty flavor of most bourbons. What are the other key components? Rye

Bourbon is a strictly American spirit. America’s Native Spirit, in fact, according to Congress. In 1964 they decreed that Bourbon the drink most representative of America. Which makes sense as you’ll see below. Evan Williams also has several flavored and season options. The most common is Honey. But several others include apple, peach, fire, cider, and eggnog. General Flavors A billboard advertising the Ezra Brooks brand was featured in the film The Sting. [4] This was an anachronism, however. The film was set in 1936 while the Ezra Brooks brand would not appear for another 20 years.

Nothing to hate on and nothing to celebrate about either. It delivers a satisfactory bourbon experience and somedays that’s all you need to make you happy. And today, I’m happy.

You really can’t go wrong with either if you’re looking at the bottom shelf. They are both strong classic American bourbons and perfect examples of hot rye spice! Recommended Reads: Color me pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this one. Maybe it’s worth disregarding my own “wisdom” (often just accumulated preconceptions, biases, and heuristics) more often? I’ll continue to be a hawkeyed bargain shopper, in the hopes that I will once again be led into unexpected delights at compelling prices. Palate: Cherry and tobacco, with leather, melon and spicy rye notes. A distinct wood-aged character for a whiskey at this price point.

Herefter kommer der en rig vanilje og karamel, som følges let af den højere procent alkohol, som også bringer nogle lette peanut noter. Smag: In the Japanese anime series Trigun season 1: episode 3 at 6:01, you can see a bottle of Ezra Brooks laying on the ground as the camera pans away from Vash and the drunkard. [ citation needed]
