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
