Established in 1860, Early Times is a historic American whiskey brand rooted in the traditions of early Kentucky bourbon-making. Its name reflects a commitment to the “early times” of distilling, before modern methods reshaped the industry.
Early Times Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon draws inspiration from a legacy expression first introduced more than 75 years ago. Crafted in accordance with the U.S. Bottled-in-Bond Act, it reflects the high standards that defined historic American bourbon—produced at a single distillery, aged and bottled under strict government supervision.
Introduced during the 1940s, Early Times Bottled-in-Bond resonated with a generation of hardworking Americans and went on to become the top-selling bourbon in the decade that followed. Today, it continues to honor the brand’s long-standing heritage as a classic, old-style Kentucky bourbon.
