Lee Single Barrel Sour Mash Bourbon '100 Year Tribute' originates from the United States, distilled in Frankfort, Kentucky. It is produced at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, where former Master Distiller Emeritus Elmer T. Lee served for decades and revolutionized the industry by introducing the world's first commercial single barrel bourbon in 1984. This special commemorative release honours what would have been Lee's 100th birthday, embodying the distillery's philosophy of meticulous barrel selection and traditional sour mash craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWine Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis single barrel bourbon exhibits a rich, warm amber colour in the glass. The nose opens with inviting aromas of maple syrup, rich vanilla, and sweet honey, balanced by toasted oak and subtle baking spices. On the palate, it delivers a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel featuring flavours of butterscotch, sweet berries, and dark fruits. Crafted from Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #2—a higher rye recipe—and bottled at a special 100 proof (50% ABV), it provides an ideal balance of spice, sweetness, and depth. The finish is remarkably long and satisfying, lingering with notes of dark coffee, toasted oak, and smooth vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccolades\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorld Whiskies Awards - Category Winner (2020)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhisky Advocate - 93 points\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eInternational Spirits Challenge - Gold Medal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe higher proof and rich caramel-vanilla notes make this whiskey an exceptional partner for slow-smoked beef brisket, glaze-rubbed pork chops, or rich duck breast.
