Elmer T. Lee Bourbon with Glencairn Set & Cigar Bundle

Taste
Elmer T. Lee Bourbon is a limited edition bourbon, named after Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee at the award-winning Distillery, Buffalo Trace. This splendid and smooth bourbon was crafted to commemorate Elmer T. Lee. It is produced from Mash Bill #2, like other great spirits such as Blanton’s, William Larue, and Pappy Van winkle. It is a sour mash bill produced of corn, malted barley and extra rye. This bourbon is soft and mellow with distinctive notes of oak and tannins, mingled with the essence of burnt sugar, caramel, and bursts of tropical fruits. The finish is long and sweet with faint notes of honey, vanilla, and light spice.

The Glencairn Whisky Glass set is an innovative whiskey glass that allows one to savor the taste and complexity of fine whiskey. These are great to use for any of your Single Barrel Bourbons, Irish, and Single Malt Whiskeys. Its tapered mouth allows you to smell all of the pleasant aromas whisky has to offer. Any whisky connoisseur will love a Glencairn glass! All spirits have their Glass that bests compliments the experience. Glencairn Crystal is the ideal glass for whiskey, it was designed by Raymond Davidson nearly 25 years earlier, however, its development involved gathering the master blenders from the five largest whiskey companies and asking them to help perfect his initial design. Even though the whiskey glass’s traditional style is a cut crystal Old Fashioned whiskey tumbler, it does not hold and focus the aromas as much for the experience of the drinker as the other styles, which curve inward towards the top of the glass. While not all drinkers may find the strong aroma produced by such glasses desirable, inward-curved glasses are often preferred by connoisseurs who consider the aroma especially important to the experience of a whiskey.
