Early Times Bourbon Barrel - Fresh Dumped, Once Used
Fresh from the rickhouse in Bardstown, KY, these once-used Early Times Bourbon barrels are a bold new addition to our lineup. They’ve been seasoned with Kentucky bourbon crafted at the legendary Barton 1792 Distillery—soaked with notes of honey, caramel, vanilla, and a peppery rye finish. If you’re aging beer, cider, or spirits, this barrel’s no lightweight. It’s a heavy hitter with over 160 years of bourbon heritage behind it.

With over 160 years of bourbon-making tradition behind the label, Early Times is one of the longest-running names in American whiskey. Originally founded in 1860 by Jack Beam (yep, that Beam family), the Early Times brand has seen its share of bourbon milestones. And now, we’ve got our hands on their barrels—freshly dumped, once-used, and straight from the rickhouse at Barton 1792 Distillery.
This bourbon left behind a mellow sweetness, balanced by a rye-forward spice, and raw sugar finish. That character doesn’t just vanish; it’s locked into the staves, waiting to be unleashed into your next brew, spirit, or cider. If you’re after layered complexity, a little history, and a lot of flavor, this barrel is your ticket.
