This latest release from the multi-award-winning range, produced at Lux Row Distillers, features the distinctive packaging and natural cork closure for which Ezra Brooks is known, along with a prominent "99" proof callout on the label.
Commenting on the news, John Rempe, Master Distiller at Lux
Row Distillers, said: "With Ezra Brooks 99 our goal was to create a
higher-proof bourbon without sacrificing the rich notes Ezra Brooks is known
for, and we achieved that with 99. The result is a smooth, drinkable bourbon
with hints of caramel, vanilla, chocolate and spice. We're thrilled to
introduce Ezra Brooks 99 to bourbon lovers everywhere."
