Nose: Brown sugar, vanilla custard, very much smells like cake batter!
Palate: Oak, leather, hints of orange, burnt sugar and vanilla
Finish: medium finish with lingering notes of leather
Closing thoughts:
This is a no brainer, everyone should have a liter of this on their bar! The price is outstanding, the quality is solid, the consistency of Bottled In Bond, and the traditional bourbon flavors lead me to always recommending this pour!
About Early Times:
Created in 1860, Early Times grew up during the early days of the country, when most of America was still country. The name Early Times was chosen as a tribute to the old-fashioned method of making whisky, which included mashing grain in small tubs and distilling the whisky in copper stills over open fires. Today, the process of distilling Early Times is much more exacting, but it still delivers the unmistakable mellow taste that is reminiscent of the original American whisky experience.
