It has done well maintaining its quality bar and presenting itself as one of Buffalo Trace’s more elegant bourbons. It hasn’t shedded quality that is often assumed of brands with the passing of time, yet it also isn’t a jewel that warrants the high prices it commands on the secondary market. First and foremost, it remains a solid bourbon as we saw when Jordan reviewed it in 2014. Being away from the product for many years, revisiting the current release of it surprised me in some ways, but also backed up some of the other presumptions I had about it. Lee existed, but didn’t have a strong passion for it or a desire to clear the shelves if I saw it. We all have brands we champion behind, but for me, I was happy to know Elmer T. Lee diehard that it seems so many bourbon drinkers became over the years. Lee on store shelves and always passed on it. When you then add in its had the same price for nearly a decade, it’s yet another Buffalo Trace bourbon that’s technically underpriced, if you can find it for its MSRP of course.Īs the years passed, I would occasionally see Elmer T. At MSRP, it finds the perfect harmony of quality and price. There is a case to be made that the bourbon is best in class of its respective price range, but its ceiling is only so high, and three figures is in fact, too high. At that price point you’re paying more for the clout and bragging rights than the quality of the bourbon itself. Lee, you will likely be paying in the three figures range. The unfortunate reality is, if you really want a bottle of Elmer T. Granted, in its current state, the bourbon doesn’t reach the height of releases in the company’s Antique Collection, but at more than half the price, this accounts for the price difference. There are plenty of impressive bourbons in its price range, but few offer the same subtlety. Lee is underpriced for what it offers due to its overall finesse and quality. barrels have a special place in the grand system that is the Buffalo Trace Distillery.This is the story of yet another Buffalo Trace bourbon that is respectively priced by the company, yet because of elusiveness in the marketplace, sees high markups by everyone who touches it. Lee and Blantons tend to come from, which makes me curious if Stagg Jr. More importantly to me though, are the coveted ones that Elmer T. They’ve got a good number of them, and are adding 30 more that each hold 58,000 barrels. I’m curious which rickhouses they use, as this is a really fun talking point when we’re looking at Buffalo Trace.
With that high proof, these barrels must be coming from higher areas of the rickhouse. One of the most talked about features is the high ABV, this time reaching 128.4 proof. However, secondary markets see it hitting $200 easily. In Oregon, a control state, it’s a mere $50. The price point fluctuates a lot depending on where you’re purchasing. There are usually two releases a year, and they tend to sell out pretty quickly. Stagg is a bit fruitier and more complex. is definitely a deeper darker bourbon in flavor, while George T.
carries more oak and many say has a closer profile to Buffalo Trace Bourbon than George T. Around version three is when most people really started to enjoy it, and it is now a more accessible version of George T. Most descriptions label it as a brand that finally learned to stand on its on after a few falls. is another heavily followed, limited release bourbon from the Buffalo Trace Distillery.
