Ezra Brooks Straight Rye Whiskey is the rye from the long-running Ezra Brooks label, now owned by Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky. It is a straight rye made from the classic 95% rye and 5% malted barley recipe and bottled at 90 proof, which puts it squarely in the peppery, spice-forward style that defines Indiana-distilled rye.
The brand describes hints of chocolate, leather, vanilla and spicy grain, balanced by slightly sweet, oaky tones, and it took gold medals at both the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the Global Spirits Masters in 2017. At this price it is one of the cheapest 95% ryes you can put on the shelf, which makes it a practical choice for batching Manhattans and Old Fashioneds for a crowd or for keeping a mixing rye around without touching the good stuff. Ezra Brooks has been a value bourbon brand since the 1950s, and the rye follows the same no-frills approach.
