Early Times Bottled In Bond 100pf 1lt
Description: | Established in 1860, Early Times is a true American brand. From their rich heritage comes the bourbon inspiration to create a legacy expression that pays homage to Early Times Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon from 75 years ago. This true old-style Kentucky bourbon honors the high standard of historic bourbon-making set forth by the U.S. Bottled-in-Bond Act. The U.S. Bottled-in-Bond act was landmark legislation that set a high quality standard for bourbon in America. The Act required bourbon to be the product of one distillation season, one distiller and from one distillery, aged at least four years in secured federal warehouses, while bottled at 100 proof. These standards introduced a new era of guaranteed quality within the spirits industry. Early Times Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon is a tribute to that milestone in history. The Early Times bourbon mashbill is slightly different than the more common 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted. Early Times Bottled-in-Bond is crafted with pure water, a mash bill composed of 79% corn, 11% rye and 10% malted barley, fermented with a proprietary yeast strain and carefully distilled. Early Times BiB is quite mellow, offering a beautifully soft feel to the palate. Overall, this is a solid Bourbon that is actually quite sippable neat, which is quite impressive as the reasonable price ($16.99) and the fact it's in a liter bottle (1l baby!) make it a bargain. It stands tall alongside other bottled-in-bond bourbons and offers perhaps much more bang-for-the-buck!. Nose: Light caramel corn with hints of citrus rind, honey and soft oak. Palate: Soft caramel corn melds with shortbread cookie coated with a hint of chocolate and oak; a trace of cinnamon spice lingers in the deep sweetness. Finish: Hints of caramel corn linger on. Early Times distillery was founded in Shively, Kentucky in 1860 by Jack Beam, uncle of Jim. |
