Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a single barrel, sour mash Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery, bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV) from a corn-dominant mash bill and named in tribute to Elmer T. Lee. The nose leads with caramel, vanilla and toasted oak, with baking spice and honey underneath. The palate brings caramelized brown sugar, warm vanilla and rich oak before a lingering finish of sweet oak and gentle spice. That balance is the point. It is sweet and approachable enough for someone building a first serious bourbon shelf, and as a single barrel bottling it gives collectors and tasting-night hosts something worth comparing and talking about. At 90 proof it sits comfortably for sipping neat, and it holds up over a large cube or in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. We carry it because it delivers classic Kentucky bourbon character with finesse, and because a bottle that honors a person's legacy deserves a place in any enthusiast's lineup.
Pairs well with
- A fine cigar — The bourbon's rich, sweet character of caramel and brown sugar complements the flavors of a well-selected cigar.
- Caramel bread pudding — Warm vanilla and caramelized brown sugar on the palate echo the dessert's sweetness while the toasted oak keeps it from feeling heavy.
- Bourbon tasting with friends — As a single barrel bottling with layered caramel, honey, baking spice and oak, it gives a group plenty of nuance to explore and discuss.
