Ixamyakxim: Do yourself a favor. If you ever see a bottle of Elmer T. Lee, pick it up. You can thank me later.
onarliog: Elmer T Lee was excellent , when it's going price was ~$20. I still have half a case left in my stash, but that's gonna be the end of it. Not entering a raffle or paying $100 for it today.
That said, I found a Stagg Jr. batch 6 for $49 today, and sipping that right now. There are still some sane liquor stores around.
So it is that bad everywhere :( I considered myself "lucky" when I found two bottles at shelf prices over the last 8 months or so. What happened with this bottle? It was my absolute favorite bourbon to pick up at an incredibly reasonable price (it wasn't like hunting down some rare bottle of wine to never, ever drink - no I don't do that LOL) - then all of a sudden it just disappeared. The couple bottles I found recently were the first in quite a long while - I was hoping that was a sign it would be around a bit more.
I might have to break into your basement / liquor cabinent if you have half a case tucked away ;)
