On Monday, Buffalo Trace Distillery announced the release of Elmer T. Lee 40th Anniversary Edition, the first uncut and unfiltered expression of the esteemed single barrel bourbon.
The bottle’s rollout comes alongside the launch of the distillery’s new bottle drawing system, which was developed to make limited-edition releases accessible to more visitors. Interested customers can register for the inaugural Buffalo Trace Bottle Draw from Sept. 15 through Sept. 17, and the Elmer T. Lee 40th Anniversary Edition will be available at the Frankfort, Ky., distillery exclusively for customers chosen in the lottery. On Sept. 22, a third-party partner will select names at random, who will then be able to purchase the bourbon onsite from Sept. 28 through Oct. 11.
