Yellowstone Recollection Bourbon Revives a Historic Legacy

Yellowstone 8 Years Old Recollection Bourbon from Limestone Branch Distillery is a new release that celebrates heritage and craftsmanship. This eight-year-old bourbon, bottled at a bold 55% ABV (110 proof), stands out as a robust yet balanced expression crafted by seventh-generation Master Distiller Stephen Beam. Originally exclusive to the distillery, Yellowstone Recollection Bourbon is now accessible to a broader audience, blending tradition with modern appeal.

Design & Presentation

The bottle’s design takes inspiration from late 18th-century bar decanters, featuring ornate embossing and an iconic depiction of Yellowstone’s Lower Falls. This elegant packaging evokes the brand's historic back bar bottles, once hand-painted and synonymous with the "Greatest American Whiskey," connecting the liquid inside to Yellowstone National Park's natural beauty.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

Aged for eight years and non-chill filtered, this bourbon reveals classic Kentucky notes. The mash and cask influence deliver a layered palate where caramel and butterscotch mingle with hints of charred oak, while the finish balances grain, mocha, and warm spice accents such as sweet cinnamon candy, all underscored by Yellowstone’s distinctive cherry character.

Master Blender’s Statement

Stephen Beam, Master Distiller at Limestone Branch Distillery, explains:
“When I brought Yellowstone to Limestone Branch in 2015, it wasn’t just about reviving a name, it was about honoring the people who gave this bourbon its meaning. Our bottles have always drawn inspiration from the spirit and natural beauty of Yellowstone National Park, and when you hold this bottle, I hope it captures the sense of history, craftsmanship, and awe that makes both the park and this bourbon so special.”
