Early Times Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon

On the first pour I was getting wafts of over ripe apples, then that barrel char right after that. Once that barrel kicks in it’s hard to get past it. On the first sip you get hit with a cherry cordial ice cream like quality then more oaky barrel goodness. Maybe even a little burnt toast and a fairly medium almost mint finish. The taste for me seems to have more going on than the nose did Over all I really enjoy this bourbon. Great price when you can find it also

For the value this is a great bottle to have

This on is sazerac. Vanilla, caramel, fruit, ethanol and faint smoke on nose - a little like Dr Pepper. Vanilla, medium char, citrus and some heat for the 100 proof, very dry and moderately hot finish with smoky aftertaste. Great bourbon for under $25

Massive pear like aroma from the start, Carmel, pie crust….a little hot for 100 proof. Dried cherries, possibly some banana (taking over the pear aroma).

Vanilla ,oak ,roasted salted Carmel ,cherries ,pepper spice ,rich

Nose on this BiB is outstanding. Just classic bourbon notes with a touch of spice and a little fruit. No doubt the best budget BiB on the market. It blows the other BiBs away. If you can only buy one budget BiB … buy this one. Creamy texture and that vanilla really comes through like a vanilla frosting. The other BiB budget bottles are just nice to have if you want to do blinds or comps. This must be something n your shelf.

Highly recommend for the price! Nose: bit of bite and needs to air out a little after pour, strong molasses smells Taste: caramel, molasses, Moscato cherry, vanilla and hint of orange

Sherman says it’s a 1 L bottle that’s pretty good for the price.
