I came across an interesting review of your \Ezra Brooks Black Label:

Ezra Brooks has a deceptively pleasing color of a pale amber tint and a
fairly mild nose. This is where the pleasantness ends and the
distastefulness begins. The taste is more astringent than sweet with a
hint of the sour mash coming out hard at the end. The charcoal, which
did not mellow out this bourbon, hits first with an instant burn that
finishes lightly on the tongue but continues to be caustic the whole way
down to the belly and stays that way through the next day.

Since there is no age statement to be found on the bottle I can only
assume they put it in the barrel, shook it up and poured it right back out.

It was found that if one allows it to just sit on the front tip of the
tongue (i.e. if you dont actually drink it) you can discover the sweet
citrus undertones lying there. However, during normal tasting actions
(i.e. actually drinking it) these flavors are held back by the dominant
sour burn.
