"EZRA BROOKS" was first produced in the 1950s by the Medley Distillery, which was first established in Owensboro, Kentucky at the beginning of the 19th century.
The Medley family soon became very famous for producing many brands of high-quality Bourbon throughout the U.S.. EZRA BROOKS was one of their most successful brands - earning a reputation as a great quality bourbon at a very reasonable price.
In fact, EZRA BROOKS DISTILLING CO. was praised by the U.S. Government in 1966 as "KENTUCKY'S FINEST LITTLE DISTILLERY". The emblem which shows this honor is printed on the label of EZRA BROOKS BLACK.
EZRA BROOKS is distilled using high quality corns and other ingredients and distilled at very specific temperature controls. These careful measures insure a very smooth and subtle taste that is pleasingly soft and balanced, and preferred by many bourbon connoisseurs.
The EZRA BROOKS brand has been bought and sold a number of times throughout it's long history, but eventually, in 1993, came into the hands of the David Sherman Corporation (DSC) of St. Louis, Missouri. DSC later changed its name to Luxco, Inc. and remains as the company that still bottles and markets this great whiskey today.
