Ezra Brooks 99 Proof Straight Rye Whiskey review: Another young but solid budget rye, ready for cocktails. ryewhiskey bourbon cocktails url
finding objectively good value on the rye whiskey shelf is always something to celebrate. Rye whiskey is typically sold at something of a premium compared with bourbon in the American whiskey market, at least when we’re talking about MSRPs, with lower age statements and proof points typically commanding a somewhat higher price.
The big question here is what exactly separates this Lux Row Distillers rye from the aforementioned Rebel 100 Straight Rye. Like the Rebel, the Ezra Brooks 99 has an elevated price point but tiny age statement, with the back label confirming this is merely a two year sourced rye, presumably from MGP of Indiana. Like the Rebel, it’s made from a Kentucky-style rye mashbill of only 51% rye, rather than the famous 95/5 MGP recipe.
Take note, then: As a cocktail rye, this should be favored by someone looking for a brash and spicy rye whiskey that is on the drier side. It has some rough edges, but it’s hard to penalize it much for that given the age statement and price point. All in all, it’s another capable offering on the rye whiskey bottom shelf, with more than enough potency.
