Early Times Old Reserve Kentucky Bourbon Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

Appearance– This bottle is filled with rich Sedona-colored bourbon with a sealed screw-on cap. The bottle shape is a round cylinder. I enjoy the traditional old heritage look of the bottle. Also, the fact that it’s a liter bottle is awesome. I do wish it said the actual time aged on the bottle though. While I wouldn’t but all of these in the “unique bottom shelf whiskey’s for the price” category, these lower priced bourbons will do in a pinch:

This translates to a bolder – and much bigger – flavor. This liquor has the “Bonded” designation which is an indication that the alcoholic beverage is at least 4 years old and 50 percent ABV. Nose – It can be difficult to get past the strong smell or burn with the 100-proof strength of this bourbon, But if you can, it could potentially have a sweet smell with a slight caramel with honey and a hint of oak depending on your own consensus.

Because it's bottled in bond, this variation of Early Times can be compared to other bottled in bond bourbons that are likely at or near the minimum 4 years old required by law. One in particular that comes to mind is Old Grand-Dad Bottled in Bond, a fan favorite with a long running history as well. By comparison, Early Times Bottled in Bond is more mellow, offering a softer and more subtle flavor profile than the spicier more cinnamon-heavy flavor offered by Old Grand-Dad.

Summary – In summary, reviewing this Early Times BIB (Bottled-In-Bond) 100 proof distilled and bottled in Louisville, KY. I feel it has good taste on the verge of being great. It has the afterburn that one could look for that doesn’t melt your throat in a 100-proof bourbon. There was a time when bottom shelf bourbons were classified under the rotgut category. “Rotgut” simply means alcoholic liquor that is potentially toxic and of inferior quality. And of course, that is more than enough to make people cringe when they hear the word “bottom-shelf.”
