Elmer T. Lee Wax 90 Proof RARE (Selected For Binny’s By Joe C)

90 proof. Wax sealed. Selected for Binny’s by Joe C. Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel — a Binny’s Beverage Depot retailer selection of Elmer T. Lee single barrel bourbon, chosen by Joe C (a named buyer at Binny’s), presented with the wax seal that identifies this as a distinct presentation tier from the standard Elmer T. Lee release.

Elmer T. Lee was Buffalo Trace’s master distiller from 1966 to 1985 and the creator of the single barrel bourbon category — the same man who developed Blanton’s as the first commercially available single barrel bourbon in 1984. The Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel expression named in his honor is one of Buffalo Trace’s most allocated standard releases, available primarily through Kentucky retailers and a small number of specialty retail accounts nationally.

Named selector picks — where a specific buyer is identified on the label as having chosen the barrel — add a collector provenance layer beyond standard single barrel releases. Joe C’s selection at Binny’s (one of the largest spirits retailers in the US, based in Illinois) represents a premium retailer curation of an already-limited allocated expression.
