Award-winning brand extends its portfolio with
unique new variant
ST. LOUIS ,
April 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lux Row Distillers announced the
latest addition to the Ezra Brooks brand family: Ezra Brooks 99
Port Wine Cask Finish. Finished in port casks from Portugal for six months, Ezra Brooks 99 Port
Wine Cask Finish delivers the great spicy ryed bourbon taste and
smooth finish Ezra Brooks is known for in its already bold 99 proof
bourbon, with additional flavor notes. The new variant will start
shipping to retailers later this month at a suggested retail price
of $34.99 per 750 ml bottle.
With a mash bill of 78% corn, 10% rye and 12% malt, Ezra Brooks
99 Port Wine Cask Finish is distilled using the highest quality
ingredients, aged the old-fashioned way and bottled at 99 proof
(49.5% ABV). Distinctive packaging features prominent callouts and
a special label color highlighting the port cask finish.
"We created Ezra Brooks 99 Port Wine Cask Finish for bourbon
fans looking for an elevated taste profile and unique flavor
option," said Eric Winter, Ezra
Brooks brand manager. "Lux Row Master Distiller John Rempe was
intrigued by the juxtaposition of ryed bourbon's spicy flavor
profile and the sweeter, dark fruit notes often found in port
wines."
"This special finish brings notes of vanilla, tobacco and
leather together on the nose, and sweet fruitiness and dark
chocolate on the palate," said Rempe. "We're excited to share this
special new variety with consumers as the first in a planned series
of annual finishes for the Ezra Brooks 99 family."
