Elmer T. Lee


Bourbon
Purchase Price: $26
Place of Purchase: Bevmo - Somewhere between San Diego and Palm Springs, CA
Rating: 8.4


This is one excellent bourbon--it goes down like one of those endless multi-colored silk scarves magicians sometimes pull out of their mouth but possesses a bit more moisture and spicy-sweet taste. I remember watching a documentary about pumpkins on television that showed where certain talented pumpkin breeders had perfected the art of growing and harvesting square pumpkins. Elmer T. Lee is sold and distributed in a bottle that is a dead ringer for this farming phenomenon. Spookley the Square Pumpkin says, “Elmer T. Lee is the perfect drink to cap off a long day of raking leaves and wandering through the pumpkin patch.” I can think of no higher praise.
