Yellowstone Limited Edition Blended Whiskey

09/03/2015

by: Kyle Swartz

Limestone Branch Distillery introduces Yellowstone Limited Edition, set to hit the market in October.

With only 6,000 bottles produced, this ultra-premium bourbon is the marriage of a seven-year rye, a seven-year wheated and a 12-year rye, the company says.

“I hand-selected the barrels of the 12-year bourbon to add just the right notes and create a truly distinct, well- rounded flavor profile,” says Steve Beam, president and distiller of Limestone Branch Distillery.

“Given our partnership with Luxco and the access they have to high-quality bourbon, we were able to hand-select ‘honey barrels’ for this small batch to find the best complementary flavors to enhance the seven-year bourbon,” he adds.

Beam added his own distinctive spin to the final product.

“Some of the bourbon was chill-filtered, some of it was not; but what makes this combination unique is that we took the 12- year rye bourbon out of its barrels, and poured the seven-year bourbon into the 12-year barrels to enrich it and extract more flavors. This process of reusing the barrels allowed the younger bourbons to pick up the more mature notes, adding a cinnamon and caramel taste as well as some smoky notes.”

Yellowstone Limited Edition, bottled at 105 proof, celebrates the 105th anniversary of Steve Beam’s great- grandfather, Minor Case Beam, selling his Old Trump Distillery to Joseph Bernard Dant, a pioneer distiller and relative from his mother’s side.

“It’s been a dream for my brother Paul and I to return the Yellowstone brand back to our family,” says Beam. “With this bourbon, both sides of our family – the Beams and the Dants – and their distilling heritage, come together.”

Steve Beam and his brother Paul Beam opened Limestone Branch Distillery in 2011. The distillery is known for its Moon Pie Moonshine, T.J. Pottinger Sugar Shine and Precinct No. 6 whiskey.

Yellowstone Limited Edition will be officially launched during the Kentucky Bourbon Festival, held in Historic Bardstown September 15-20, 2015.

Suggested retail price for the bourbon is $105.
