Early Times Kentucky Whiskey

Early Times Kentucky Whiskey Wine Details
Price:

Description: At Early Times we constantly work toward this goal - "the peak of perfection" - in every step as we craft our whisky. Our unique grain recipe with its greater-than-average rye content, use of pure water to cook our grains, proprietary yeast fermentation, batch distillation and consistently controlled maturation in company-crafted barrels all contribute their part. These assure you that Early Times will always have that same smooth flavor that has made it a favorite of whisky drinkers over the years.

Varietal Definition
Corn Whiskey:
Corn whiskey is an American whiskey made from a mash made up of at least 80 percent corn (maize). The whiskey is distilled to not more than 40 percent alcohol by volume. It does not have to be aged but, if it is aged, it must be in new or used uncharred oak barrels. Aging usually is brief, i.e., six months. During aging the whiskey picks up color and flavor and its harshness is reduced.
