Founded in Kentucky in 1957 by Frank Silverman, Ezra Brooks was originally bottled at the Hoffman Distilling Company in Lawrenceburg until Hoffman Distilling Co. went out of business in the 1970s. In 1993, Ezra Brooks was acquired by Luxco, and in 2018 the distillery found a new home in Bardstown (aka ‘Bourbon County’) along with Luxo’s other whiskey brands. The distillery boasts over 18,000 square feet, six barrel warehouses and a 43-foot custom copper still.
