The Yellowstone 2021 LTD ED bourbon is made from 7-year-old and 15-year-old bourbons selected by Limestone Branch Master Distiller Stephen Beam
The program has existed since 2015 using unique bourbon casks selected by Beam under the Yellowstone brand. Yellowstone is a name established in 1872 by Beam’s great-great-grandfather and early bourbon pioneer, J.W. Dant.
“Amarone is a rich, red wine that — much like bourbon — takes time and patience to craft and requires at least two years in oak casks to age,” explained Beam. “Finishing select barrels in these Amarone casks brings notes of fresh cracked pepper and tobacco, as well as hints of black cherry, fig and dark chocolate to the classic bourbon notes of caramel, vanilla and hints of citrus. With a finish of oxidized fruit, cherry and black currant, this bourbon is reminiscent of pre-Prohibition whiskeys.”
Yellowstone 2021 Limited Edition is bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV)
