Early Times Kentucky Whisky

Early Times Kentucky Whisky is a heritage Kentucky whisky originally crafted in 1860 by John Henry Beam at Early Times Station, Kentucky — double-distilled, aged a minimum of three years in heat-cycled warehouses, and barreled in seasoned American white oak at the Early Times Distillery in Shively, Kentucky. Known as “The Whisky that made Kentucky Whiskies Famous,” delivering a consistently smooth taste and flavor profile.

Early Times has anchored the value-tier of Kentucky whisky for over 160 years. The use of seasoned (rather than new) American white oak places the spirit in the “whisky” category rather than the “straight bourbon” category, and the heat-cycled warehouses speed up barrel interaction for a smoother, more approachable flavor at an accessible price.
