PROOF OF THE
AMERICAN SPIRIT
Created in 1860, Early Times grew up during the early days of the country, when most of America was still country. The name Early Times was chosen as a tribute to the old-fashioned method of making whisky, which included mashing grain in small tubs and distilling the whisky in copper stills over open fires. Today, the process of distilling Early Times is much more exacting, but it still delivers the unmistakable mellow taste that is reminiscent of the original American whisky experience.

About the Film
When there’s no getting over what you have, a mission can get you through.
“Reinforcements” follows the journey of a U.S. military veteran named Joe and a younger vet, Travis, who is just back from Afghanistan, as they seek answers about their past and their future – with loyal service dogs assisting their recovery from the depths of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
At Early Times,® patriotism runs deep.
As one of the oldest American whiskies, Early Times has a heartfelt connection with the U.S. military – and with all patriotic Americans. To put beliefs into action, Early Times donated $100,000 to K9s for Warriors to fund the training of five service dogs for veterans recovering from PTSD. As part of our efforts to help recovering veterans and K9s for Warriors, Early Times has also produced the documentary “Reinforcements” to share the inspiring bond between warriors and their service dogs.
