Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Elmer T. Lee is one of the most storied and beloved single barrel bourbons in American whiskey a tribute to Elmer T. Lee himself, the legendary Master Distiller at Buffalo Trace Distillery (then known as Ancient Age) who pioneered the concept of the single barrel bourbon in 1984 with the release of Blanton’s. When Elmer retired in 1985, the distillery honored him by naming this single barrel expression in his memory, and it has remained one of the most sought-after allocated bourbons ever since.

Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, KY one of the most decorated distilleries in the world Elmer T. Lee is bottled at 90 proof from individually selected barrels, offering the approachable elegance and consistency that defined Elmer’s philosophy: great bourbon doesn’t need to be complicated, just carefully made.
