Description
The Ezra Brooks 99 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a powerful and characterful bottling that represents the tradition and quality of the Ezra Brooks Distilling Co. With an increased alcohol content of 49.5 % vol. (99 proof), this bourbon offers an intense variety of flavours that will delight both connoisseurs and lovers of full-bodied whiskeys.
Made from a classic mash bill with a high corn content, Ezra Brooks 99 is matured in new, burnt oak barrels in the old tradition. The barrel ageing gives it its deep caramel and vanilla notes, while the unfiltered bottling at high strength ensures an unadulterated, powerful flavour experience.
Its pleasant spiciness and smoky undertones make it a versatile bourbon that impresses both on its own and in classic cocktails.

It also unfolds its powerful characteristics particularly impressively in classic cocktails such as an Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour or Manhattan.
