Elmer T. Lee 100 Year Tribute Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Description: | Buffalo Trace Distillery is honoring late Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee with a 100th Birthday edition of his namesake bottle, 100 Year Tribute Single Barrel Bourbon. 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. Tasting Notes: The aroma is noticeably brighter and fruitier than the standard offering, with notes of green apple and candied orange peel, even a little jackfruit. The caramel, maple syrup, and butterscotch of the traditional Elmer are there as well, but as secondary notes that only really emerge with significant time to breathe. The palate doesn't draw as stark a contrast, with plenty of the classic caramel corn, vanilla fudge, and toffee of the original, but fruitier notes do present themselves, cocktail cherry and clove-studded orange among them. There's no noticeable increase in warmth, but the overall body is bigger, giving this tribute bottling a bit more weight to carry some of those new flavors further into the generous finish. 50% Abv / 100 Proof 750 Ml |
