Early Times Kentucky Whisky

Early Times has a gold-amber appearance. Aroma is of sweet & light caramel. Also, the drinker will pick up some faint wood. Taste is of mild, charred wood, sweet caramel, alcohol, and a background charred wood. Mouthfeel is medium, and Early Times had a moderate fade. Aside from using used barrels, this is bourbon, essentially (in its presentation). A good value-priced item. RJT

Not sure why they use this in their "run of the mill" Mint Julips at Churchill Downs unless they buy it by the tanker load (i.e. VOLUME & CHEAP). Woodford Reserve is the better choice for the "high end" Mint Julip. However, it will get you to where you are wanting to go, only in a Yugo and not a Cadillac.
