While Early Times is marketed outside the U.S. as bourbon, the whiskey does not meet all the U.S. regulated criteria for bourbon[1] – and hence, is marketed within the U.S. as whiskey rather than as bourbon whiskey. It also uses the Scottish spelling instead of the Irish spelling, and labels itself as a whisky.
