if you like Elmer though your closest bet that you can actaully find on shelves is probably gonna be Blantons

Your best bet is Rock Hill Farms. Elmer T Lee is the hand selected juice from Elmer, of the same juice/mashbill as Rock Hill Farms. Blantons is a bit different.

As for the commemorative edition, Elmer didn't hand select that, he passed away and they did that release a year later to celebrate his life. It was also made at 93 proof in honor of his age.

I'm aware of the rockhill/Elmer/blantons relationship. I said the closest that he would be able to find. Hence blantons. You realize those 3 are the exact same mashbill? Only difference is age.

And yea I guess it would have been a little tough for him to pick the commemorative...

If someone else is buying, it's ok. It's one of the "craft" ryes that are sourced from LDI and packaged at a premium. It's good enough whiskey, but not worth the dinero.

Better Four Roses single barrel? I think calandros has 2, Alexander's has 1. Are they the only places around here with private selections? Anyone know the recipes of each?

Alexander's is an OESO barrel proof.

Personally, I like the Calandro's OESK, but I tend towards barrel proof bourbons.
