ELMER T. LEE 100 Year Tribute Single Barrel Sour Mash Bourbon Whiskey 750ml bottle

Buffalo Trace Distillery is honoring late Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee with a 100th Birthday edition of his namesake bottle, 100 Year Tribute Single Barrel Bourbon. Lee, who passed away in 2013, was a force behind the revitalization of Buffalo Trace. He began his work at the distillery in 1949 following his graduation, working his way up to Master Distiller and creating beloved brands like Blanton’s. He continued to work as an ambassador for the brands long after his official retirement in 1985. The one-time-only 100 Year Tribute release will have the same mash bill and age as the standard 90 proof Elmer T. Lee bourbon, but will be fittingly bottled at 100 proof. The distillery tells us to expect “the classic taste that Elmer would have loved, with a nose of maple syrup up front, a taste of creamy vanilla with berries, and a long finish of coffee, toasted oak, and vanilla.”
