product Details

Ezra Brooks 15 Year Old 101 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon​ 1979

Ezra Brooks is perhaps best known for having been taken to court of copycat accusations by Jack Daniel's in the 1960s, with similarities in everything from the bottle and label to the (square/ black and white) tot he advertising slogans ("there isn't quite enough to go around" vs. "there just ain't enuf to go around").

Ezra Brooks is a brand that was never tied to a distillery, although it is associated for most of its history with Hoffman, which is the site later renamed Old Commonwealth by Julien Van Winkle III, responsible for bottling much of today's bourbon royalty, such as the A.H Hirsch Reserve, Very Olde St. Nick and Old Rip Van Winkle.

This is a late-1970s example was produced at Medley distillery, who acquired the brand when Hoffman stopped distilling in the 1970s, and bottled it up until the early 1990s.

Today Ezra Brooks is distilled and bottled by Heaven Hill for Luxco.
