Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel (90th Birthday Edition), 45%

Price: 30.00 Issue: Winter 2009 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

A limited run to commemorate Elmer’s birthday. An elegant, complex whiskey. The flavors are nice and tight. Bright fruit (dried citrus, tangerine, nectarine, hint of pineapple), brittle mint, vanilla, and gin botanicals, soothed by nougat and soft caramel, with subtle -- yet lingering -- dark chocolate, espresso, and dried tobacco on the finish. Great drinkability too!
