Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Early Times 354

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 82 Points

This is the revival of Early Times Bourbon in the U.S., and will eventually replace the Early Times Bourbon sold in export markets. The nose is classic bourbon with caramel, oak, dark chocolate, vanilla, and brown sugar notes. The taste starts off soft at first, but a muted cinnamon spiciness builds up and lasts through the finish with vanilla and oak undertones. The finish is spicy with a caramel note underneath, but the overall impression is that it’s a bit thin.
