Elmer T. Lee 100 Year Tribute Single Barrel Bourbon
Elmer T. Lee 100 Year Tribute Single Barrel Bourbon
100 Year Tribute is a commemorative bottling honoring what would have been the 100th birthday of Elmer T. Lee, former master distiller emeritus for Buffalo Trace Distillery. This 100 Year Tribute is still a single barrel bourbon and is made using the same mash bill and age as its standard Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon, but it is bottled at 100 proof rather than 90 proof.
In honor of what would have been Elmer’s 100th birthday, Buffalo Trace Distillery announces the release of a 100 proof commemorative bottling of Elmer T. Lee 100 Year Tribute Single Barrel Bourbon. Proceeds from the bottle sales will go towards Frankfort VFW Post 4075, where Elmer was a member until his death in 2013. This is a limited edition, one time only release with the same age and mashbill as the standard Elmer T. Lee, but this whiskey is bottled at 100 proof.
Buffalo Trace Distillery:
Harrison Blanton developed the legendary Buffalo Trace distillery in 1812. It was bought in 1870 by the renowned Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., who named it OFC (Old Fashioned Copper) and made significant advances in its modernization. In fact, he spent so much money that he declared bankruptcy after just seven years. Then, George T. Stagg intervened to save it and purchased it in 1878 it. He managed the distillery until he retired in the 1890s, and in 1904 it was given a new name in his honor. After surviving Prohibition, it was acquired by the Schenley firm in 1933. For the next 50 years, it was managed as a part of their wide portfolio before being sold to Japan's Age International.
The new Japanese owners only focused on its brands and soon sold the distillery to the Sazerac Company, who renamed it Buffalo Trace in 1999. The Buffalo Trace Distillery claims to be the nation's oldest distillery still in operation. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that a distillery with such a long history and extensive experience has one of the greatest families and domestic brands in any business, as well as a broad variety of spirits.
