Therefore, welcome to this article, where the best bottom shelf whiskey bourbons will be discussed in detail. Why Bottom Shelf Bourbons? Early Times Bottled in Bond succeeds at what it sets out to do - appeal to many at a fantastic price point. The brand brings with it a long and storied history, an added bonus for anyone who thinks beyond the glass. However, while the flavor profile and overall drinking experience is enjoyable, it is really the combination of a great price and approachable flavor profile that make this worthwhile. Given the fact that we’ve seen great value bourbons become overhyped and subsequently overpriced - due to either the producer increasing MSRP or retailers’ perception of high demand - it is important to note that Early Times Bottled in Bond will ultimately lose its magic should that occur. Put simply, Early Times Bottled in Bond is absolutely worth seeking out and having as a regular on your shelf, just not if you have to overpay for it.

Maker’s Mark was also the most sought-after bourbon at a period when the American whiskey industry endured the doldrums of the ‘70s and ‘80s. At the time, many had turned to drink vodka and other related spirits. But the smooth and sweet flavor profile of Maker’s Mark brought them around. At the time Sazerac Company President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Brown said, “We are delighted to acquire such iconic brands as well as the Canadian Mist Distillery. Brown-Forman has done an excellent job building these brands over the years and we expect to invest in the brands and grow their sales in the coming years.” 2021: Sazerac Announces Early Times to be Made at Barton 1792 Distillery This alcoholic beverage has only been in existence since 2011.

The product became marketed to customers that were price sensitive as well as customers who used whiskey as their spirit for mixed drinks; especially juleps. During this time, bourbon sales had plummeted, and the category of premium bourbon had been overtaken by such brands as Old Fitzgerald, Heaven Hill, Old Forester, and Pappy Van Winkle.

The used cooperage seems to work to allow the oak to shine through without dominating. It’s what the kids call “smooth juice”.
