The story behind it

The maker

Buffalo Trace Distillery, established in Frankfort, Kentucky, is one of America's oldest continuously operating distilleries, dating back over 200 years. Elmer T. Lee served as the distillery's first master distiller in the modern era, dedicating 36 years to the craft and forever shaping the bourbon industry.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, this bourbon honors Elmer T. Lee, who introduced the industry's first modern single barrel bourbon in 1984. It is produced using Buffalo Trace's famous Mash Bill #2, which features a higher rye content for added complexity and spice.
