Early Times Bottled-In-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky is a tribute to the 75th anniversary of the original Early Times bonded bourbon recipe. From a rich heritage that began in 1860, Early Times Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon is a legacy expression inspired by Early Times’ traditional whisky-making methods of the good old days. Early Times first introduced a bonded bourbon in the 1940’s, and in the decade that followed it became America’s top-selling bourbon. Produced at Kentucky’s longest continually operated distillery, this product is a revival of the era and a nod to Early Times’ storied history and heritage of quality.
