Buffalo Trace Distillery Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon is a highly respected and increasingly scarce expression named after one of the most influential figures in modern bourbon history. As the former master distiller at Buffalo Trace, Elmer T. Lee pioneered the concept of single barrel bourbon, forever changing the category.

Each bottle is drawn from a single hand selected barrel, resulting in subtle variation from release to release while maintaining the signature balance and elegance the brand is known for. Bottled at 90 proof, this bourbon delivers exceptional smoothness with refined complexity, making it equally appealing to seasoned collectors and traditional bourbon enthusiasts. Due to limited allocations and rising collector demand, Elmer T. Lee has become one of the most sought after names in American whiskey.
