Oh it doesn't bother me, I was just harassing Dre. He is a good guy but you have to give him a hard time sometimes. I am glad you enjoy it, if you are facebook come join our group. My boss is the main one posting there right now, but I am going to post as well. We are hoping to get a group that can meet once a month or every other month to share bourbon. It is a great way to try some bourbon before you buy it. https://www.facebook.com/LafayetteBourbon everyone is welcome and you come one time or every time we meet.

Facebook--that's almost like a maze to me. Joined a while back to be able to sit in on BJ's chats. Glad that's no longer the way we do chat. I'm not a social media type so I don't visit often but I will check out your page, or whatever it's called. Might just take you up on your offer to meet the group.

I will let you know when we start meeting. By no means do you have to be on FB, it was easier than making a web page. We are putting in paperwork to become a nonprofit on educating people on bourbon.

Only the best for you! Thanks for the helping in selling the shorts. I am sold out of most sizes. Hoping to make another order with new designs this fall.

Yes but we no longer have to sign in on Facebook for the chat. Plan to be there tonight.

I think it is time for another drink. Tonight's review is Elmer T. Lee. First who or what was Elmer T Lee?

Kentucky born and bred, Elmer joined the George T. Stagg Distillery as a maintenance engineer in 1949 after serving as a Radar Bombardier in World War II and returning to earn an engineering degree at the University of Kentucky. Quickly rising to Plant Engineer, then Plant Superintendent and eventually the shared title of Plant Manager and Master Distiller, Elmer oversaw much of the Distillery's modernization and growth up until his retirement in 1985.
In 1984, Elmer honored the man who was initially so skeptical of him by introducing the world's first single-barrel bourbon, Blanton's Single Barrel. Not long thereafter, Elmer himself was honored with his own single-barrel namesake. Both bourbons have been the recipient of the highest worldwide acclaim and honors since.

This little beauty came in the mail today and this is my first time tasting the bourbon. The bourbon is distilled, bottle at 90 proof, NAS (no age statement) and aged in Frankfort, KY at the Buffalo Trace Distillery. Although not expensive, should be found at round $50, but it is very hard to find. The nose is vanilla and spices but neither is overpowering. It taste of vanilla, honey and spice but just as the nose neither is overpowering. You would think with the taste of vanilla and honey it would be really sweet, well it is smooth but not sweet. The finish is very smooth with a light burn but a long flavor. Overall this a very good bourbon and should be drank neat, very large ice cubes or with whiskey stones not to dilute the flavor. I am looking forward to having it again in a few days. In short if you find this bottle for under $60 buy it and if you do not like it contact me and I will buy it from you.
