Production and Products
The brand is currently owned by Brown-Forman and is produced at the Brown-Forman Distillery in Shively, Kentucky. Most of the Early Times which is now sold in the U.S. is not legally a bourbon whiskey, and labeled as "Kentucky Whisky", because some of the spirit in Early Times is aged in used barrels, while bourbon must be aged in new barrels according to the legal requirements for bourbon. It is bottled at 40% alcohol by volume.
In December 2010, Brown-Forman introduced a new variation of the brand called Early Times 354 in the United States, which meets the requirements for a straight bourbon.

Famous quotes containing the words production and, production and/or products:
“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
