Review #36; Bourbon #20: Old Ezra 7 Barrel Proof

Background: This release from Luxco was a sourced from a non-disclosed distiller. This bourbon was aged for 7 years and bottled at Barrel strength. The mashbill was 78% corn, 12% malted barley, and 10% Rye. I had blind then was revealed the bottle.

Nose: Leads with a strong sweet vanilla, hint of oak, trace of bright light fruits and honey

Palate: Medium feel, baked goods, vanilla, oak, and caramel

Finish: Medium, slight tannic, Oak and a hint of leather

Rating: 5/10

Guess: Tastes likes your basic bourbon, I would guess some kind of entry level bourbon, a Buffalo Trace, Or Elijah Craig store pick perhaps
