Buffalo Trace's Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon is a true gem in the world of spirits. Named after the legendary Elmer T. Lee, a trailblazer in the whiskey industry, this exceptional bourbon pays tribute to his remarkable legacy. Elmer T. Lee, who passed away in 2013, played a pivotal role at Buffalo Trace, where he worked for over 36 years. During his tenure, he became the first master distiller to introduce single barrel bourbon to the modern market, forever changing the landscape of whiskey production. This single barrel expression boasts an impressive ABV of 45% and offers a proof of 90. What truly sets Elmer T. Lee apart is its scarcity. With each bottle being crafted from a carefully selected barrel, it renders a distinct flavor profile that is hard to find elsewhere. Such rarity has elevated this bourbon's status, causing it to become highly sought-after on the secondary market, where it commands premium prices among enthusiasts and collectors alike.
