W.L. Weller 107 Antique & Elmer T. Lee have found a home at Brinkmann's!

05/2012


We bought ourselves a birthday present! Two hand-selected barrels of bourbon will soon be making their home at Brinkmann's Wine and Spirits. We will be welcoming W.L. Weller 107 Antique Bourbon and Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon to our home very soon! Stay tuned!!

 

Check out what blogger Jason Pyle had to say about the ever so delightful Elmer T. Lee (and thanks for the shout out!):

"Old familiar as I call it. Elmer T. Lee is quite possibly one of the most comforting Bourbons or Whiskey’s of any kind made today. The first whiff floods the nose with Maple, Caramel, gentle spice, and the wonderful bright notes of citrus and orange peel. The sip echoes the nose beautifully with caramel, maple, honey, vanilla, bitter orange, and light oak. The finish is moderately long with gentle spice coating the tongue. Just a brilliantly crafted bourbon of balance – deep and rich, yet so easily drinkable. A perfect bourbon for the novice and the connoisseur alike. And to think a Bourbon icon like Elmer T. Lee still selects the barrels to this day. Makes it all the more special. Highly recommended. Note: Bottled expressly for Brinkmann’s Wine and Spirits, Franklin, TN."

And Wine Enthusiast had a few great things to say about the W.L. Weller 107. Check it out:

 

W.L. Weller 107 "Antique"

107 Proof, "Wheated" Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Wine Enthusiast rating: 88

A medium amber bourbon, bearing a sweetish note with some unusual floral notes and a string dash of vanilla. The body is big and the palate is very well balanced, flirting between sweet honeyed fruit notes, a strong vanilla undertone and some sharp spicy tones; the finish is long and spicy.

A very well crafted whiskey. Sip it at room temperature with a little spring water or over ice.
