About this bottle
A true testament to patience and craftsmanship, Old Ezra Rare Old Sippin' Whiskey 12 Years offers a refined sipping experience. This exceptional 101-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon was aged for over a decade, allowing its deep character and complex flavors to fully mature. Its rich profile and smooth finish make it an outstanding choice for connoisseurs seeking depth and distinction.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A sophisticated and inviting aroma opens with rich caramel and deep vanilla, intertwined with toasted oak and baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Hints of dried fruit – dates, figs, and dried cherries – emerge, underpinned by a faint leathery note and a touch of roasted nuts.
Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth yet full-bodied, delivering a warm embrace of butterscotch and dark chocolate-covered cherries. Layers of seasoned oak and a gentle rye spice provide structure, alongside notes of rich toffee, maple syrup, and a subtle herbaceousness. The 101 proof is present but well-integrated, offering a pleasant warmth without harshness.
Finish: Long, lingering, and complex. Sweet oak and vanilla persist, slowly giving way to a gentle spice of black pepper and clove. A pleasant dryness develops, leaving behind echoes of dark fruit, leather, and a delicate smokiness, inviting another sip.
About the Distillery
Ezra Brooks Distilling Co., while the label names a 'distilling company,' is a brand currently owned by Luxco (now MGP Ingredients) and has a storied history rooted in Kentucky bourbon. The brand was originally created by the Medley Distillery in the 1950s as a competitor to Jack Daniel's. After changing hands multiple times, it found its current home under Luxco, which has invested significantly in its own distillery, Lux Row Distillers, in Bardstown, Kentucky. While historical bottlings like this 12 Year may have sourced distillate from various Kentucky producers, the brand today continues to honor its heritage of producing classic Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
