Ezra Brooks


Bourbon
Purchase Price: $9
Place of Purchase: Warehouse - New York, NY
Rating: 7.6



Ezra Brooks has long haunted the lower shelves of liquor stores across the country, flashing faux-Jack Daniels plumage and an eye-catching single-digit price tag. Considering how laughably little it costs to leave the store with a bottle of this tucked under your arm, I’m happy to report that this is not quite the caramel-colored turpentine one would expect. A bottle of this and a two-liter bottle of store-brand cola could make a Monday night disappear right quick, I reckon. And for a completely coordinated evening you could even wear an old paint-spattered Brooks Brothers sweatshirt and some Brooks tennis shoes gone green from mowing the lawn while you’re drinking it!
