The bottle keeps the family's distinctive look and natural cork, with a prominent 99 on the label and Lux Row Distillers embossed on the shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whiskey is made from a spicy, ryed bourbon mash bill of corn, rye and barley, aged in oak barrels and charcoal filtered for a smooth, mellow finish. It is distilled and aged in Kentucky and bottled at 99 proof, compared with 90 proof for the original Ezra Brooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmooth and drinkable, it offers hints of caramel, vanilla, chocolate and spice, with a warm, lightly peppery finish from the rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEzra Brooks 99 has the extra proof to stand up in cocktails while staying smooth enough to sip. Pour it neat or over a large ice cube with a splash of water, or stir a bold Old Fashioned with orange peel and bitters. It makes a spicy Manhattan, a Whiskey Sour with real backbone, and a Boulevardier with Campari and sweet vermouth. Mix it with ginger ale or cola for an easy highball. Pair it with barbecue, smoked brisket, chili, burgers or pecan pie. It is a great-value, higher-proof bourbon to keep on the home bar and an easy gift for bourbon fans who like more flavor in every pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel, vanilla.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, chocolate, spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm, lightly peppery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lux Row Distillers, Bardstown, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corn, rye and barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oak-barrel aged, charcoal filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky straight bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 99 proof (49.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it over a large cube, or stir an Old Fashioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow strong is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e99 proof (49.5% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it filtered?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, charcoal filtered for a smooth, mellow finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho makes it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLux Row Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003eBourbon collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ezra Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68083158942005,"sku":"VWS200425012","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-34045.webp?v=1793993087","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/ezra-brooks-99-proof-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
