Bourbon aficionados said goodbye to Elmer T. Lee who passed away on Tuesday, July 16. Lee rose through the ranks at the Stagg Distillery (now Buffalo Trace) in Frankfort. He turned the bourbon world upside down when he introduced the very first single barrel bourbon, Blanton’s. It was my first taste of Blanton’s that made me love bourbon. On Tuesday night, I poured myself a Blanton’s for myself and one for Elmer, pouring his libation out beneath the stars.
