Old Ezra 7 Year Straight Rye is a full-proof rye whiskey from Lux Row Distillers, aged seven years and bottled at 114 proof (57% ABV).
It is a blend of two rye mash bills, one at 51% rye and one at 95% rye, aged a full seven years. Like the rest of the Ezra Brooks family, it is distilled from high-quality ingredients, aged the old-fashioned way and charcoal filtered for a mellow flavour and smooth finish.
The rye follows the success of its bourbon counterpart, Old Ezra 7 Year Barrel Strength, and brings slightly sweet and oaky tones with hints of vanilla and honey, finishing with a warm touch of spice and tobacco.
Robust and full of character, it makes a fine gift for rye lovers.
Enjoy it neat, with a splash of water, or in a full-bodied Manhattan.
American rye whiskey is made from a mash of at least 51% rye and aged in new charred oak, giving it a spicier, drier character than bourbon, with notes of pepper, herbs and baking spice.
A straight rye whiskey is made from at least 51% rye and aged at least two years in new charred oak containers.
Full proof means the whiskey is bottled at a high strength close to how it came from the barrel, for a bolder, richer flavour.
