Early Times Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon

enjoying neat for the first time nose - vanilla, sugar, light heat, some oak/leather notes and light peanut smell Taste - As soon as it hits my tongue I get sugar, vanilla, and some peanut flavors. Roll around the tongue and get a great light and smooth heat. The finish is more vanilla and sugar mixed with a smooth warm burn. Quite good Overall and value - After trying this, I was overall very impressed especially for the money. This is a solid first pour from this bottle and the fact it was only $25. Sad to hear Early Times has been bought out and this one will be discontinued cause it is quite good. Huge bang for the buck here.

This review is over several tastings and with a focused sitting on the final day. Kept hearing about how wonderful this bottle was from folks and then when the brand was sold, I knew it was time to grab a bottle. Aroma is nutty, caramel, slightly sweet and from time to time I get some burnt nut notes. Flavor runs from very nutty and peanut butter when good to moments of burnt hazelnut. Sweet caramel and a moment of Maple now and again. Orange peel on the finish. Pretty oily on the tongue, which I like. Finishes sweet and nutty. As all have said before me, for the price a nice pick up. Misses a 4.0 due to lack of complexity and lingering finish.

Nose has a bit of a bite, dried oak, vanilla. Initial taste was quick sweet green apple. Almost green jolly rancher followed by a lot of spice, some bitter orange peel, and then a drying finish with some toasty-ness (barrel char) and leather.

Nose: Vanilla bomb. Lots of ethanol. Sweetness. Taste: Rich, sweet, oily, vanilla.
