Early Times is a brand of Kentucky whiskey which was first distilled in 1860. The brand became popular during 1920s. During the prohibition in the US, this whiskey was exempt from the law, having been designated as "medicinal whiskey".

The brand is currently owned by Brown-Forman Corporation and is produced at the Early Times Distillery in Shively, Kentucky. Early Times which is now sold in the U.S. is not a bourbon whiskey, and labeled as "Kentucky Whisky", because 20% of the Early Times whiskey is aged in used charred oak barrels. However, Early Times which is sold at the export markets is fully aged in new charred oak barrels and is a true bourbon, 40% Abv. This bourbon has an old oak color, close to brown-sherry, a dominant vanilla aroma, and a smooth taste.
