Product Description:

Old Ezra 7 Year Barrel Strength is a bold, complex bourbon that showcases the depth and character of a high-proof whiskey. With a mash bill of 78% corn, 12% malted barley, and 10% rye, this bourbon is aged for seven years and bottled undiluted at 117 proof. It is known for its rich, full-bodied flavor profile with intense sweetness, spice, and oak. Despite its high ABV, it is surprisingly smooth and balanced, offering a unique barrel-strength experience that bourbon drinkers love.
