About This Video

This bottle’s getting a lot of hate on the internet, but does it really suck? In this pourcast I put the new Early Times Bottled in Bond 750ml head-to-head in a blind tasting against its two predecessors: the Black Cap and the legendary Blue Cap. All three are BiB (100 proof), at least four years old, and they share the exact same mashbill—79% corn, 11% rye, and 10% malted barley—so this is a perfect setup to see what distillation/aging changes actually do in the glass. Here’s the key difference: the Black Cap was fully distilled and aged by Brown-Forman, the Blue Cap was distilled by Brown-Forman but finished aging after the brand sale at Sazerac-owned Barton 1792, and the new 750ml is fully distilled and aged at Barton 1792. On the blind, Glen B was my favorite with a bright, fruity, creamy profile (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, caramel, whipped frosting). Glen A was a close second with darker sweetness (crème brûlée, toasted marshmallow, oak, vanilla, a hint of chocolate). Glen C was a distant third—more ethanol, grassy/herbal notes, and bitter oak/walnut—and that one ended up being the new 750ml. For me, the new bottle just ain’t it, and the smaller size doesn’t help the value conversation either—so if you find Blue Cap on shelves, snag it while you can.
