Limestone Branch Distillery is releasing the 2021 Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, featuring 7-year-old and 15-year-old bourbons hand-selected by Limestone Branch Master Distiller Stephen Beam.

Each year since 2015, Beam has produced a unique, limited-edition bourbon under the Yellowstone brand, which was established in 1872 by Beam’s great-great-grandfather and early bourbon pioneer, J.W. Dant.

For this year’s Yellowstone Limited Edition, Beam selected Amarone casks to finish select barrels of 7-year-old-bourbon to complement the tasting notes of the extra-aged bourbons that make up this year’s Limited Edition.

“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,” said 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.”

The Yellowstone 2021 Limited Edition will be bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV) and sold in custom-designed bottles featuring embossing, a high-end natural cork, and a label featuring the 2021 Yellowstone Limited Edition emblem. 

7,500 cases (3 bottles per case) will be available at retail locations at a suggested retail price of $99.99 per bottle.
