Ezra Brooks Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The Ezra Brooks® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey brand has a new addition to its product lineup: Ezra Brooks Straight Rye. The brand, which dates back to 1957 has been a part of Luxco’s portfolio of whiskeys since 1993.

“In the past 12 months, we have seen rapid growth in the rye category, up 27%, which indicates consumers are interested in more rye whiskey products,” says Fletcher Buchman, brand manager at Luxco. “Ezra Brooks’ recent packaging refresh has elevated the brand to the same high-quality of the bourbon found inside the bottle.”

Ezra Brooks’ updated look includes a new corked bottle with a premium matte-finish closure capsule. In addition, a higher end label offers the bottle a craftier look and feel. The brand has recently earned top honors at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, taking Gold for Old Ezra Seven Year and Silver for both Ezra Brooks Black Label and Ezra B 12 Year Single Barrel in 2015.
