This limited edition spirit, crafted at the esteemed Buffalo Trace Distillery, pays homage to Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee. As part of the renowned Mash Bill #2 family, which includes notable spirits like Blanton's and Pappy Van Winkle, it combines corn, malted barley, and extra rye. The result is a soft, mellow bourbon with distinctive oak and tannin notes, intertwined with hints of burnt sugar, caramel, and tropical fruit. The finish is long and sweet, highlighted by delicate notes of honey, vanilla, and a light spice.
The history behind this unique bourbon is as rich as its flavor. Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery, established in 1775, this distillery has undergone several name changes, including George T. Stagg Distillery and the Old Fashioned Copper Distillery. Now, as the famous Buffalo Trace Distillery, it remains family-owned and located in Franklin County, Kentucky. The distillery boasts over 130 acres of operational architecture and has been home to legendary Master Distillers like Albert B. Blanton and E.H. Taylor. This bourbon, made from the finest corn, rye, and malted barley, is aged in new oak barrels until it reaches peak maturity. Proceeds from this special bottling contribute to the Frankfort VFW Post 4075, where Elmer T. Lee was a devoted member until his passing in 2013. Rated 5 stars and holding the "Highest Recommendation," this bourbon stands as a testament to quality and tradition.
