Early Times 354 Bourbon is a faithful recreation of the previous best-selling bourbon discontinued in 1983. Rich aromas of tobacco, caramel, baking spices, and toasted oak greet the nose. The smooth entry reveals a prominent palate of charred oak with a background of toffee. The finish features baking spices with a hint of vanilla. This bourbon is a prime example of old-school sour mash whiskey that excels as a mixer, especially in whiskey sours.
