Early Times 4 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon (1978 Release)

Early Times is a historic bourbon brand. After the repeal of Prohibition, Brown-Forman began production of Early Times bourbon in their Old Kentucky Distillery in Shively, Ky.  This distillery was renamed Early Times Distillery in 1953. By 1953, Early Times bourbon was the best-selling bourbon brand in America. As a straight bourbon with a mash bill consisting of low rye content, Early Times was widely popular as less spicy bourbon styles had become the best sellers after World War 2. This is classic example of old style bourbon making.
