Product Description

Ezra Brooks Old Ezra 7 Year Straight Rye Whiskey: A Full-Proof Rye Blend Aged Seven Years

Old Ezra 7 Year is the rye whiskey from Ezra Brooks, extending the brand’s Old Ezra label. Lux Row master distiller John Rempe describes a rye worthy of the Old Ezra name. It blends two straight ryes, one with a 51% rye mash bill and one with a 95% rye mash bill, aged seven years in new charred oak, then charcoal filtered for a mellow flavor and smooth finish. It’s bottled at full proof, 114 proof (57% ABV), in a custom bottle with gold and copper foil accents.

The brand describes slightly sweet and oaky tones with hints of vanilla and honey, finishing with a warm touch of spice and tobacco. Reviewers add toffee, herbal mint, and cinnamon, and a long minty finish. It won a Gold Medal at the ASCOT Awards and a Gold at SIP, both in 2024.
