Early Times has a rich history dating back to 1860 when the brand was founded by Jack Beam in Kentucky. Originally known as “Early Times Station,” it was named after the famous early morning train that traveled from Louisville to Lexington. The brand gained popularity for its high-quality bourbon, becoming one of the best-selling whiskies in the United States by the early 20th century. Despite the challenges of Prohibition, Early Times managed to survive by producing whiskey for medicinal purposes and through the sale of industrial alcohol. After Prohibition ended, Early Times continued to thrive, evolving into a beloved household name known for its smooth taste and affordability. Today, Early Times remains a cherished part of American whiskey culture, offering a range of expressions appreciated by enthusiasts worldwide.
