Ezra Brooks is perhaps best known for having been taken to court of copycat accusations by Jack Daniel's in the 1960s, with similarities in everything from the bottle and label to the (square/ black and white) to the advertising slogans ("there isn't quite enough to go around" vs. "there just ain't enuf to go around").

Ezra Brooks is a brand that was never tied to a distillery, although it is associated for most of its history with Hoffman, which is the site later renamed Old Commonwealth by Julien Van Winkle III, responsible for bottling much of today's bourbon royalty, such as the A.H Hirsch Reserve, Very Olde St. Nick and Old Rip Van Winkle.

Medley acquired the brand in 1979 when Hoffman stopped distilling, and bottled it up until the early 1990s under the ownership of United Distillers. Today Ezra Brooks is distilled and bottled by Heaven Hill for Luxco.
