Yellowstone Limited Edition 2018 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 70 cl 50.5%

Each year Limestone Branch assembles a unique batting for Yellowstone's limited edition.

Expert description

Yellowstone Limited Edition 2018 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is that year's release of the distillery's annual limited release, composed as a batting of several cask types and ages, bottled at 50.5%. Yellowstone Bourbon was introduced in 1872 by the J. B. Dant Distillery and named after the American national park established that same year. After decades outside the family's hands, the brand was acquired by Luxco in 1993 and transferred to Limestone Branch Distillery in 2015 — a distillery founded in 2010 by brothers Stephen and Paul Beam, who as seventh-generation members of the Beam and Dant families can trace their distilling heritage back to their great-great-uncle Jacob Beam, who distilled bourbon as early as 1794.
