Early Times Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon

One of the better bourbons I’ve ever unscrewed.

Decent for the price

For the price it's hard to beat. It is smooth going down and a good aftertaste.

Vanilla and heat

Poured neat Nose is forward in orange peel and then a slight burnt brown sugar/caramel vibe. Touch of ethanol burn. On the palate I get a viscous mouthfeel and it coats my entire mouth. Caramel, vanilla, tobacco and rye all make an appearance. As the sip goes down I get a good bit of warmth from the proof and the rye. The finish is definitely the real star here. It’s long and spicy. Rye, pepper and leather appear here for me. Over all a fantastic pour for a great price. Hope Sazerac doesn’t ruin it.
