After serving in World War II as a Radar Bombardier, Elmer T. Lee returned to his home in Kentucky and earned his engineering degree from the University of Kentucky.  He joined the distillery in the late 1940’s as a maintenance engineer.  He first interviewed with Colonel Blanton who famously rejected him by saying, “Son, we’re not hiring any hands today”. Fortunately, Colonel Blanton changed his mind and Elmer T. Lee started working the following week.

His genius for bourbon production propelled his rise from Maintenance Engineer to Plant Engineer, where he was eventually promoted to Plant Superintendent.  From there he earned the shared title of Plant Manager and Master Distiller where he oversaw much of the distillery’s modernization and growth until he retired in 1985.  

After retiring Mr. Lee served as Master Distiller Emeritus and Ambassador for Buffalo Trace Distillery. He was inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2002 he received the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from Whisky Advocate, and again from Whisky Magazine in 2012. In 2013 Elmer passed away, leaving behind a prolific legacy of creativity and exploration that helped shape the Bourbon Industry into what it is today.

The Paul John range of single malt whiskies, produced by John Distilleries in Goa, India, marks a significant venture into the world of premium spirits for a company that has already made a notable impact in the Indian molasses 'whisky' market.

Brilliance, a member of this range, is crafted using Indian 6-row barley sourced from the Himalayan foothills. After careful distillation, the whisky is matured in bourbon barrels for a period of 3-5 years before it is bottled at its natural cask strength. Despite the tropical climate's influence on evaporation, resulting in approximately 12-13% loss per year, the whiskies from Paul John demonstrate exceptional quality even at a younger age, much like their counterparts from the renowned Amrut distillery

TASTING NOTES

Nose: The aroma reveals a delightful presence of juicy barley, accompanied by the inviting combination of Ryvita and salted butter. Cinnamon-dusted red berries add a touch of sweetness, while a hint of green apple skin follows closely behind.

Palate: Indulge in the delightful flavors reminiscent of Chomp Bars, where chewy caramel and chocolate take center stage. Along the way, lively spices emerge, creating a captivating journey for the taste buds. A subtle note of waxy orange peel adds an intriguing layer to the mid palate.

Finish: The finish leaves a lingering impression of orange, surprisingly long and satisfying. The rye notes, reminiscent of the initial nose, make a vibrant comeback in full force.

Overall: This John Distilleries creation is a remarkable Indian single malt. It showcases the distillery's dedication to quality and craftsmanship, delivering a truly enjoyable whiskey experience.

About the Brand

Tobermory, the capital of Mull, lies towards the northern end of the island. The bay is one of the safest anchorages in the Hebrides, indeed the original name for the area was Ledaig (pronounced Led-chig) from the Gaelic, meaning 'safe haven'. This made it the ideal place for the fishing town which was established there in 1788. The name of the town 'Tobermory' was derived from the Gaelic tobar mhoire, which means 'well of Mary', and relates to the well and chapel of St Mary built for the community. As well as Tobermory, the distillery also makes Ledaig single malt. The main difference between the two is that Tobermory is lightly peated and Ledaig is quite heavily peated. In 1797, a local merchant by the name of John Sinclair filed an application to build a distillery but was refused. Permission was finally granted the following year for Sinclair to proceed and Tobermory Distillery was founded. Today, Tobermory Distillery is one of Scotland's oldest operational malt whisky distilleries celebrating its 200th anniversary in 1998. The water source for the distillery is a privately owned Loch close by the Mishnish Lochs, high in hills behind the town. The water from the Loch is richly aromatic with peaty phenols that lend impart a subtle flavor to the whisky. Due to the water's character, the barley malt used remains unpeated. The aging process now takes place at Tobermory’s sister distillery Deanston, near Doune, for a minimum of ten years. This change of location induces further complexities in the final blending. The result is a fresh, lightly peated whisky, medium-dry with a smooth and fruity taste.

Tobermory 21 Year Old

A 21-year-old single malt from Tobermory distillery that has been finished for three years in an oloroso sherry butt, imparting rich, sweet aromas of clove-studded oranges, dark chocolate, vanilla, and oak that fill the nose. The palate offers notes of prunes, walnuts, dark chocolate, nutmeg, and Caramac bars, with hints of cinnamon and leather lingering in the finish.

Another distillery in the new-school 1960s whisky-boom era, Glenallachie Distillery was built in 1967 with a view to producing spirit for blending. Traditionally it has always produced a malty spirit, reasonably light in character; however a recent change in ownership has seen changes to production methods, particularly lengthened fermentation, which will see Glenallachie’s profile change in the coming year. Consequently the latter vintages, which are really quite rare as single malt bottlings, will eventually be no more.

Founded in 1824 on its site in central Speyside, near Elgin, Miltonduff is one of the many distilleries that illicitly produced spirit before its founding date, and took advantage of the passing of the Excise Act.

Traditionally both ‘Miltonduff’ and ‘Mosstowie’ spirits have been produced here, the latter being a variant of single malt produced between the 60s and 80s primarily for blending. The Mosstowie variant was produced utilising Lomond Stills, which meant many variables during distillation could be manipulated to promote distinct characteristics; the Miltonduff spirit is steadfast in its consistency: light, fresh and elegant.

Miltonduff’s spirit character is typically cereal-led and light, although some floral characteristics often also shine through. A single cask, cask strength and un-chillfiltered expression from Miltonduff Distillery, matured in an ex-Bourbon Hogshead.

Not only one of the world’s best bourbons, Blanton’s Straight from the Barrel is one of the world’s best whiskeys. Created for connoisseurs familiar with cask strength whiskeys, this enormous taste profile reaches depths of flavor found only in the rarest of spirits. On the nose we get notes of dark chocolate, caramel and butter with earthy undertones of walnut and hazelnut.  The palate delivers intrepid notes of warm vanilla, oak, toasted nuts and a rich spiciness with hints of butterscotch or honey.  The high alcohol by volume is intense and powerful yet inviting. The deep and resonate finish on this bourbon is nothing short of legendary. Straight from the barrel is best served neat or with a splash of water. Un-filtered, un-cut, unbelievable.
