A little bourbon history Early Times started out as a bourbon back in 1860, and remained so until the early 1980s.It all started with our founder, Jack Beam (Jims uncle), who began working at his familys distillery at the tender age of 15. In short order, he was running the operation and in 1860 built his own distillery at Early Times Station, Kentucky. Beam named his whisky Early Times, both as a tribute to its place of origin and as a nod to the old-world craftsmanship that goes into making it. He believed in the early times method of whisky-making: mashing grain in small tubs, boiling the beer and whisky in copper stills over open fires. Its an abiding belief that has stayed with the Early Times brand ever since.
