375mL

Early Times 150th Anniversary Kentucky Whisky Commemorative Bottle (2010) – 100 Proof, 375ml In 2010 Brown-Forman released this one-time bottle to mark 150 years of the Early Times name, which dates to 1860. It was bottled at 100 proof instead of the regular 80 proof and has a retro label in the style of the 1920s. The goal was to recreate how the brand tasted around 1923, when Brown-Forman bought it. Only 3,000 cases of 375ml bottles were made, and few unopened ones are left today. Tasting Notes • Nose: Mellow oak, brown sugar, vanilla and a touch of honey • Palate: Sweet corn with brown sugar and vanilla • Finish: Butterscotch and vanilla with a little oak Product Details • Distillery: Early Times / Brown-Forman, Kentucky (DSP-KY-354) • Style: Kentucky Whisky, old-style sour mash • Proof / ABV: 100 proof (50% ABV) • Size: 375ml • Availability: One-time 2010 limited release, about 3,000 cases, long sold out Why It Stands Out This is the 100-proof version of a brand normally sold at 80 proof, in a commemorative bottle made for a single anniversary year. Collectors of Brown-Forman history and dusty-era American whiskey look for it. Serving Suggestions Sip it neat or with one ice cube to taste the brand as it was made in the 1920s. It's also a good display piece for a collection. Stop by Bansum Wine & Liquor in Patchogue or order online for shipping.
