- Elmer T. Lee's contributions to the bourbon world and his legacy is being celebrated with the Elmer T. Lee 100 Year Tribute bottle from Buffalo Trace. Paying homage to the 100 years since Elmer T Lee’s birthday, this bottle is bottled at 100 proof, has the same Mash-bill 2 recipe, and also has the same age which is said to be about 8-14 years old depending on the barrel. Elmer T. Lee 100 Year Tribute Single Barrel Bourbon hit shelves last fall in very limited quantities at a suggested retail price of around $100.

Never apologize for reviewing a rare bottle. I hate when people complain about that. Just because it's hard to get doesn't mean the review isn't entertaining or informative. Great job as usual, cheers man!
Thanks Jeremy! I wanted to get into this ones especially for the history of it and the man himself. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers.
I agree. I think people get butt-hurt (lol) because they can’t get it, but even if I can’t I enjoy hearing if it is worth hearing if it is worth pursuing if I happen to hit the lottery or find a pour in states sometime. Enjoy it brother.
Not many reviews on this one. I was lucky enough to snag one myself!! Not sure when to pop the cork on this one lol...very rare indeed.
WOW!! I just scored 2 bottles of the 90 proof Elmer T today (7-28-20).....I've been hunting all the liquor stores within 40 miles for 2 years! TODAY it happened! (I guess I need to buy a lotto ticket today too!)... I am in bourbon narvana today!! YAAA HOOO! ....I paid $37.95 per bottle THANK YOU Junction City liquor store!!!
Fantastic review, Jason! I want to get this bottle one day and will! Cheers brother
I very much enjoy the Elmer T Lee (I got 2 bottles last year ) Its lotto only in my province and retails for about 59$ Canadian ( I think that's 44$ in U.S) IDK if the 100 year one will be lotto'd off here, i'll keep my eye out, I have one regular ETL left, It's fantastic for the price, Nice review here, I think what Elmer did , his entire history is just exceptional,
When the regular Elmer T. Lee was 40 bucks it was such a good value. Unfortunately now it goes to lotteries and is upcharged in most cases. But if you can get this at a somewhat normal price its a great bourbon for a story and to share.
Nice review Jason, I’m glad you did review the 100th anniversary. I knew you would eventually because of what the bourbon is and who it pays homage to. I’ll probably never find a bottle at msrp or even what I think is a fair price, so it’s nice having your notes on it, cheers man!
This history of this is super super fascinating. Amazing job Jason! Cheers 🥃
Great history and review. Cheers!
Cheers to the legend Elmer T. Lee 🥃
Great intro Jason. Love the historical aspect. Cheers dude!
Great review and always love the added History
Love history and love bourbon! Such a unicorn (both), especially here in 🇨🇦. Maybe it will be a lottery win or trade one day. One can dream. Thanks for another awesome review.
A wonderful review Jason. You were so fortunate to get this bottle and thanks so much for sharing it, along with the history behind it. Great stuff. Cheers brother.
Cheers Al! Glad you enjoyed it. Love the history.
Great review Jason!! I love the detail and time that you put into letting us know exactly who Elmer T Lee was and the great influence and impact that Elmer had on the industry. This one sounds very nice and interesting. Once again great review as always my friend!! Cheers Jason!!🥃
Thanks Brent! This video was great to make. Love the history and the man behind the bottle.
Excellent story-telling and review as per usual. Wine-searcher average price in the U.S. now up to $1,090 on this.
Loved this video, Jason. Before the tribute came out and I knew a higher proof offering was available, I always said I was underwhelmed by the hype of ETL and wanted to try it at a higher proof. Hopefully I get to find it at a bar at some time.
New sub. Keep up the great work. Your editing and graphics are great. Since finding your videos I’ve probably bought over 10 bottles on your recommendations and we must have a similar palette because haven’t been disappointed yet. Cheers.
Thanks man!! Appreciate the kind words. Yeah with so many channels now it's good to find someone where your palates can lineup. Glad you enjoy the content. More to come! Cheers!
Really enjoyed the history. Hopefully it will become a regular release someday.
ETL 100 is all time favorite bourbon
For seven years and searching in as many states, I found my personal unicorn ETL. Indeed, scored 2 bottles. Was not disappointed. Perhaps BT will produce other 100 proof versions of this and it won't take me so long to find it.
Well Rock Hill Farms is the other 100 proof mashbill 2 release but of course...that's hard to find too. It's frustrating.
Thanks man
Great review!
Great show.... but please fix the focus on your camera. Your background is in focus
Great review. Thanks
Thanks Tom!
Thanks for the review, I won the lottery for this bottle , but haven’t opened it yet. Really cool to hear the history of the man behind it.
Glad you enjoyed it. This bottle really opens up nicely. You'll enjoy it. Cheers.
Someday I will own a barrel of these unicorn tears 😭
History lesson ftw. Sounds like a great evolving pour. I can only hope that when/if the bourbon boom settles down a bit that it'll be a little easier to find some exclusive bottles, even the normal ETL and Blanton's. Nice find with this one!
I agree with you there buddy! Cheers.
Great review as always. I hope to find this one day. I still have an unopened bottle from the last year Elmer was alive. I just finished my opened bottle over the holidays. I wonder if they might keep making the 100 version since it is so different from the original. Hint to the marketing department at Buffalo Trace. Thanks again.
Lol. That's awesome. Buffalo trace has no shortage of special edition ideas.
Heyoh, nice one.
Used to buy reg ETL for about $35 but haven’t seen it for about 6 years in Columbus, Ohio area. Saw one on a shelf in Vermont couple years ago for about $130! I passed. Love me some Elmer T.
Too bad it's so hard to get now. At 40 its a great bottle.
Great review. I'm a big fan of the history also
Thanks Scott! Its what I love about making these videos.
Nice review, I just won one of these in the Ohio lottery. If you make it North to Youngstown, we'll have a toast.
-Cheers
Congrats man
would rather see a side by side of ETL100 vs RHF... same proof, same mashbill, maybe different age? i'd venture to guess they're just about the same juice. both tough to find though.
That will be on a LIVESTREAM soon. Cheers!
Not a big fan of the standard ETL but the ETL 100 is nice. Cheers!
Great review! Have you ever tried the 93 proof bottling issued when Elmer died at age 93?
Thanks. I have not. I've wanted to try that one but I've never seen it.
I just won a raffle that is an Elmer package (5 bottles). 100th Anniversary, Death Bottle, Wax, 90 proof BUB and Single Barrel. Not sure which bottle I should be most excited about? Thoughts?
It's a shame that the industry has priced this way out of the pocket range of the average consumer. $400 and up is ridiculous. Eventually, this may hurt the industry. I am the average consumer who works hard for a buck. No reason to pay over $60-$100 for a good bourbon. However, I have good bourbons less then that price point. Good review of history.
Totally agree.
Great review Jason, I do like the standard Elmer T Lee and will be bugging my sources here in Santa Cruz. I do notice with all the Booker's and ECBP and other CS bourbon that the ETL seems pretty good not great for me now. So that 100 sounds like a winner, just a bit of a 🦄🦄🦄🦄
Surely a unicorn for most. I got lucky getting this one. Cheers and glad you enjoyed the video.

Uncle Ernest 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I swear this stuff is fake. Never even seen it on a shelf at secondary!
They never said how many bottles they released. I got mine in NY. Only state I ever saw it.
@@TheMashandDrum I was talking about the regular ETL. Never seen it here in MD.
@@s2kane ohh. Yeah. True. The regular one has become a unicorn unfortunately
Great review!
