bourbon-n00b Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 never heard of it - when did it come out? recently?Looks like it's new on the market. I can't find much, aside from this:http://www.shoppersvineyard.com/store/pc/ELMER-T-LEE-15YR-SINGLE-BARREL-RESERVE-COLLECTORS-EDITION-BOURBON-WHISKEY-108p14223.htmA 15-year old for $40 sounds like a pretty good buy to me!

dustyj Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Since we are on the subject of ETL, I bought some of the old wax tops and they are in those United Kingdom liquor bottles. Is there any way to date those bottles. Just a bunch of S__T on the bottom. Is there at least a time period when BT was using those bottles. This would also help date some of the Centennials I have.

Virus_Of_Life Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 This is something that should have been placed in a forum only members could read, but I know not everyone realizes how that works. Doesn't matter now as I expect it'll be sold out very soon if it is isn't already!I'm just curious to know the history on the barrel and how it came to be. I suspect if it has been done once it'll be done again, but who knows. Just too bad they didn't number the bottles or somehow designate it as the first barrel done this way.Either way 15 year BT bourbon chosen by Elmer is worth a try so I had to pick some up.

sailor22 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I ordered three bottles on XMas Eve and they didn't ship for quite awhile - probably because of the storm. At any rate they are supposed to arrive the 4th and I'm really looking forward to tasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkersback Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Does anyone know the age of standard ETL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadewood Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Does anyone know the age of standard ETL? The story I heard is the target age is 10-12 years old, but that Elmer pretty much picks out the barrels he wants, so 15 is not unheard of.

rocky480 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I ordered three bottles on XMas Eve and they didn't ship for quite awhile - probably because of the storm. At any rate they are supposed to arrive the 4th and I'm really looking forward to tasting. I did the same thing and found out yesterday when I called that the bottle of rum I added to the ETL order was holding it up because there was an inventory problem with the rum.... I guess that's what I get for straying from bourbon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigarnv Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 It is actually quite good... probably the best balanced ETL I have had. Good mouth feel and finish. We got ours this past week so several of us locals gave it a try.. Thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefnash51 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 sorry didn't realize we could post so non members can't see. Future reference on how to do this if needed next time?My bottles aren't being shipped until Tuesday, so I should have them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I compared the member & non availability, I was surprised to see the American Rye forum as member only. Maybe this PB/SB forum should be switched to members only?
