TRANSPORTED FROM
THE PAST

Established in 1860, Early Times is a true American brand. From our rich heritage we have unearthed 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.

Is Early Times bottled in bond discontinued?

However, by 1983 Early Times Bottled-in-Bond was discontinued and replaced by a less beloved blended whiskey as a cost-cutting measure during the industry's infamous economic downturn of the 70s and 80s.

Is bottled

Bartenders are fans of bonded whiskeys because the bold, concentrated flavor of the higher-proof spirit stands up well to mixers in cocktails, and their low price compared to fancier aged sipping whiskeys means they're great for the bottom line, too.

What was the first bottled

Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond Bourbon Old Forester is the first to bottle bourbon, with its 1870 whiskey comprising bourbon from three distilleries: Mattingly, Mellwood and Atherton, then bottled at 90 proof.
