Early Times Mint Julep Cocktail is a ready-to-serve beverage that has been “The Official Drink of the Kentucky Derby® for over 20 years. Each year almost 120,000 Early Times Mint Juleps are served over the two-day period of the Kentucky Oaks® and Kentucky Derby® – a feat that requires over 10,000 bottles of Early Times Mint Julep Ready-to-Serve Cocktail, 1,000 pounds of freshly harvested mint and 60,000 pounds of ice. Try one and you’ll understand why we’ve been a Kentucky Derby tradition for so long.
Sweet corn, along with caramel, vanilla, and more subtle ripe summer fruits (on the nose and palate). Light, slightly brash finish. Rather sweet, somewhat youthful tasting, straight-forward, and unpretentious.
Early Times Bottled-In-Bond® Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky is a tribute to the 75th anniversary of the original Early Times® bonded bourbon recipe. From a rich heritage that began in 1860, Early Times Bottled-In-Bond® Bourbon is a legacy expression inspired by Early Times®’ traditional whisky-making methods of the good old days. Early Times® first introduced a bonded bourbon in the 1940’s, and in the decade that followed it became America’s top-selling bourbon. Produced at Kentucky’s longest continually operated distillery, this product is a revival of the era and a nod to Early Times’ storied history and heritage of quality. Under the careful eye of Brown-Forman’s Master Distiller and historian Chris Morris, our production team is proud to unveil this special bourbon.
