The Elmer T. Lee 2016 Release celebrates the legacy of one of Buffalo Trace’s most influential master distillers, Elmer T. Lee. Known for introducing the world to single barrel bourbon with Blanton’s in the 1980s, Lee’s namesake bottle has become a coveted treasure among collectors. Bottled at 90 proof, the 2016 vintage upholds the tradition of honoring Elmer’s innovative spirit and his impact on American whiskey. Each bottle features his signature and the classic, elegant label that collectors recognize. Limited availability of these releases has fueled their desirability, making a pair from this year especially sought after by enthusiasts and those who appreciate bourbon history.
