Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a cornerstone expression in the world of single-barrel bourbons, named in honor of legendary distiller Elmer T. Lee, who helped bring the concept of single-barrel releases to prominence at Buffalo Trace Distillery. This bourbon is drawn from select barrels that exemplify the classic profile of the Buffalo Trace mashbill #1, delivering a balanced and refined whiskey that highlights the influence of a single cask.

On the nose, Elmer T. Lee opens with inviting aromas of fresh orchard fruit, honeyed caramel, and toasted oak, gently accented by light baking spices. The palate is crisp and expressive, with vanilla, brown sugar, and faint citrus peel giving way to deeper notes of toasted grain and black cherry. The texture is medium-bodied with a clean delivery, leading to a finish that is warm, slightly dry, and elegantly spiced with lingering oak and sweet vanilla. Each bottle reflects the unique characteristics of its barrel, providing distinct nuance while remaining true to the house style.
