Ezra Brooks 99 Proof Straight Rye 750 ml
About this bottle
Ezra Brooks 99 Proof Straight Rye is a Kentucky-style straight rye whiskey bottled at a higher-than-standard 99 proof, or 49.5% ABV, for extra intensity. That proof bump pushes the usual rye spice further forward: expect caramel and vanilla up front, then a wave of black pepper and clove, finishing long and warm without tipping into harsh. It's a value-priced rye built to punch above its price point, a good everyday bottle for someone who wants a rye with real backbone for cocktails, not just sipping.
How to drink Ezra Brooks 99 Proof Straight Rye
It's built to work in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned, where the extra proof holds up against vermouth or sugar instead of getting diluted into the background. Neat works too if you like your rye with some heat, though a single rock tames it without losing the spice.
