History,
The Yellowstone bourbon brand has a long storied history. Yellowstone Bourbon was started by J.B. Dant (son of J.W. Dant) who, along with D.H. Taylor and J.T. Williams, founded the Yellowstone Distillery in the late 1880s. Over the years the distillery changed ownership several times, eventually landing in the hands of David Sherman in the 1990s. In 2006, the David Sherman Company rebranded itself to Luxco as a tribute to one of its co-founders, Paul Lux. In 2010, Paul and Steve Beam (descendants of both J.W. Dant and the Beam family) founded Limestone Branch Distillery, and in 2015, they partnered with Luxco to bring the Yellowstone brand back to its ancestral origins.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Lightly toasted oak, vanilla, a hint of caramel, and spice immediately greet you. Exploring further reveals baking spice, light marshmallow, and a dab of grain in the form of crackers
Palate: Oak and vanilla carry over from the nose and are joined by bursts of summer peaches, leather, and light caramel. A subtle brown sugar sweetness rounds out the light creamy mouthfeel. It’s a subtle yet satisfying blend of flavors and makes for an enjoyable midpoint of the sip.
Finish: A dash of vanilla and sweet oak start off the finish. These flavors quickly morph to noticeably drier notes of oak, leather, and white peppercorn.
