Established in the heart of Kentucky, Early Times has been a staple in American whiskey culture since 1860. Its inception coincided with a time when the nation was still finding its feet, and the founders, recognizing the need for a spirit that matched the pioneering spirit of the age, crafted this whiskey using traditional methods that hark back to simpler times. The distillation process, originally conducted in copper stills over open flames, has evolved, yet the essence remains unchanged—a smooth, mellow experience that captures the American whiskey tradition in every drop.
