Early Times Kentucky Whisky – 1.75L

Description

Early Times is crafted from a traditional whisky mashbill, or recipe, of corn, rye and malted barley. Rye adds a spicy, lively character to whisky. Corn adds sweetness. Malted barley gives it a malty, cocoa, cereal taste. The Early Times mashbill contains more rye than many other whisky recipes. Only charred American white oak barrels are used to mature Early Times. Each barrel is toasted and charred so the new whisky can develop an even greater range of taste, aroma and characteristics. The toasting process sets up the rich vanilla flavor found in Early Times, while the charring process caramelizes the white oak’s natural wood sugars into a layer of flavor we call “red layer.”

Our unique grain recipe with its greater-than-average rye content, use of pure water to cook our grains, proprietary yeast fermentation, batch distillation and consistently controlled maturation in company-crafted barrels all contribute their part. These assure you that Early Times will always have that same smooth flavor that has made it a favorite of whisky drinkers over the years.
