Ezra Brooks Bourbon Whiskey

Ezra Brooks is a storied brand of American bourbon whiskey that has its roots in Kentucky's rich distilling history. Originally created by Frank Silverman in the 1950s and distilled at the Hoffman Distilling Company in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, the brand was designed to compete with other premium whiskeys of that era. Over the decades, it has become known for its traditional sour mash process and smooth charcoal-filtered finishes.

In recent history, the brand was acquired by Luxco (formerly David Sherman Corporation), which significantly expanded its distribution and variety, including different proofs and age statements. In 2021, Luxco was acquired by MGP Ingredients, a leading provider of distilled spirits. Today, Ezra Brooks is produced primarily at the Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky, which serves as the dedicated home for the brand's distillation and aging processes. This ensures that the bourbon maintains its authentic Kentucky heritage while benefiting from the extensive resources and expertise of its parent company, MGP Ingredients.
