    So this has been here for 2 years and no one else notices that Rex looks like Smee from Peter Pan??? I'm astonished.

    I like watching Ragnar Lodbrok and Waldo of "Where's Waldo" talk about this great bourbon!

    500.00 a bottle in Frankfort, Ky last weekend….
    I almost almost almost pulled the trigger….but settled for a Weller antique 107 instead
    But ETL is so good!

    Too bad people buy this and have to try selling it on Ebay for $120 +.

    I need to try this one. I’m a big blantons fan, even with the hype, but I’d like to find another at that level to add to the collection.

    Found my first bottle of Elmer T. Lee today after a month long search in San Antonio. I dont drink much, so I look for quality, and your glowing review is what made me seek it out. And no, Rex, you can't have any... It's mine!

  • @louiejones4092

  • @luiswells5629
    @luiswells5629 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Elmer T. Lee was one of my favorite Americans of all time. Having said that... in my area there is only one store carrying this whiskey. They marked it up to $100. I have never paid that for any bourbon...and I don't think I will. I'll pay that for Scotch, but not bourbon. Especially when the suggested retail price is less than $40. Am I being unreasonable?

    • @WhiskeyVault
      @WhiskeyVault  7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Nah, it's a good bourbon, but I don't know that I would put it down as $100 good. Next time you're in Austin, I'll pour you some.

    • @johnpeterson5484
      @johnpeterson5484 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thats a bummer. I have only seen it once and bought it when i did. I think it was around 50 for me give or take. You have a glass waiting for you in CT if ever in the area

      I first tried ETL about 10 years ago, it was about $26 where I live. Now it's up to $36, but it's not on the shelf. I asked the guy at the store if they had any, he said it flies off the shelves, I told him I was disappointed because I'd been drinking it for some time, seemed like whenever I discovered something new that was a value it got discovered and expensive, had a bit more whiskey chat with him, then he said "just a minute I'll check with the boss and see if I can go in the back and get you some." So this is how you get the stuff now, I guess, you say some magic words to show you're part of the old-time bourbon fraternity (no secret handshake though) and you get access to the goods. I went through this same drill to get a bottle of Weller's. No luck with Van Winkle 15 year old, they sell it by lottery.

      @MrMoTheMan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I paid almost $200 for my bottle . . . just to have it and try it. NOT worth $200 IMO! Good . . . but NOT THAT GOOD!

    This now a unicorn in KY & many other markets. Only limited release 1 time a year. I have bottles with $24.99 price tags on them from early 2000s. Had the please of meeting Mr. Elmer T. Lee @ Whisky Fest in Chicago in 2006, don't remember much else from that night for some reason.

    You summmumma bishes. my favorite bourbon. found this at 20 y.o. it used to be 40-50 dollars it's insane now I still get it under 70 tax included. Either way I keep at least two bottles at all times.

    Drinking this can cause you to develop a urge to hunt wabbits , be very very quiet. Yeah i know stupid joke
    Good whiskey though.
