Early Times has been around a long time. In my younger years, we referred to it as rot gut. After being reintroduced and getting some good reviews, I decided to revisit. It is greatly improved. The initial fragrance is of rich butterscotch, which quickly mutes to light orange peel and barrel char. The early flavor is of light caramel and rye spice. This quickly diminishes to more of a cotton candy flavor. The finish is nice and dry with a touch of orange and lingers more than expected. Price is reasonable but it does not stand out at it's price point
