Ezra Brooks Cask Strength is a single-barrel Kentucky straight bourbon from Lux Row Distillers, aged in new charred American white oak and bottled at 120 proof (60% ABV).
Lux Row introduced Ezra Brooks Cask Strength as a single-barrel, store-pick format, and every bottle is brought to a consistent 120 proof, so each barrel shows its own character at the same strength. The bourbon is aged in new charred American white oak barrels and bottled without an age statement.
It is full bodied and punchy: raw honey, peanut brittle, browned butter and malted cereal on the nose, white pepper and cinnamon on the palate, then a medium-long finish of caramel, oak, milk chocolate and lingering pepper.
Its bold black label makes it a great gift for high-proof bourbon fans.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Single-barrel bourbons capture the character of one cask.
At 120 proof, a few drops of water open up the honey and caramel.
Serve it in a Glencairn glass.
A large ice cube tames the heat for slow sipping.
It makes a bold Old Fashioned.
Pair a pour with a slice of pecan pie.
It is a great value for high-proof bourbon fans.
