A poignant tribute to the "Master of the Single Barrel," this limited-edition release honors the life and legacy of Elmer T. Lee. Released in 2014, this bottle is distinguished by its premium black label with gold embossed lettering and Elmer's signature.
The bourbon itself was selected from the specific warehouse floors where Elmer famously hunted for his "honey barrels." To honor his 93 years of life, Buffalo Trace bottled this expression at a unique 93 proof (46.5% ABV)—slightly higher than the standard 90 proof of the core Elmer T. Lee line. This release is highly prized not just for its scarcity, but for the philanthropic mission behind it: all profits from the original sale were donated to the local VFW Post 4075, where Elmer was a long-time member.
