Ezra Brooks (40% ABV) which is produced by the Luxco owned Lux Row Distillers, is a multi-award-winning straight Kentucky bourbon, which is matured in new charred American white oak barrels.
Minor Case Rye Whiskey (45% ABV) which is produced at the Limestone
Branch Distillery, is a two-year old straight rye whiskey distilled using 100%
American heartland grains and finished in a sherry cask.
Commenting on the news, Greg Mefford, International Sales
Director at Luxco, said: “We have been focusing on growing our presence in the
UK market in partnership with our distributor Lightbox Brands and the reception
from UK consumers has been exceptional. Securing a listing with a highly
respected alcohol and spirits retailer such as Oddbins, and to be the only
American bourbon and rye whiskey brands currently listed, is a fantastic step
forward for the business and further builds on our European expansion. We hope
to build a successful partnership with Oddbins and we’re ready to serve its
customers an authentic taste of American history.”
