2012 Early Times Mint Julep Kentucky Whisky 60 Proof 1000ml

Built specifically for race day pageantry, this commemorative release captures the exact recipe poured trackside at Churchill Downs for the 138th Run for the Roses in 2012. Simply poured over a mountain of crushed ice in a frosty julep cup, it delivers an authentic taste of Southern heritage with vibrant garden mint and mellow Kentucky whisky.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Vibrant spearmint and peppermint candy lead the way, underpinned by simple syrup, light vanilla bean, and gentle hints of sweet corn whiskey.

Palate: Light-bodied, crisp, and refreshing with candied mint leaves, powdered sugar, and mellow vanilla balanced by subtle toasted oak nuances.

Finish: Clean, brisk, and cooling, leaving lingering sweet mint, candied citrus zest, and a soft touch of warming oak spice.
