Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a classic and highly respected expression that honors one of the most influential figures in modern bourbon history. Named after Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee, this whiskey reflects his pioneering role in creating the single barrel category, offering a more individualized and refined bourbon experience.

Each bottle is drawn from a single carefully selected barrel, meaning subtle variations exist from one release to another while maintaining a consistent house style centered on balance and elegance. This approach emphasizes quality over uniformity, highlighting the character of each individual cask.

Aged in new, charred American oak barrels and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), it delivers a smooth and approachable profile with a medium-bodied texture. The character leans into classic bourbon notes such as caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, complemented by hints of honey, light spice, and citrus. Subtle floral undertones and a gentle sweetness add to its refined and easy-drinking nature.

The finish is clean, soft, and moderately long, with lingering notes of vanilla, oak, and a touch of spice. Produced in limited quantities, Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel is widely regarded as a benchmark for accessible premium bourbon, offering a polished and balanced profile that appeals to both collectors and everyday enthusiasts.
