Detailed Description
Their flagship bourbon, Yellowstone, is a blend of sourced whiskies, but Yellowstone 2017 Limited Edition marks Limestone Branch’s first release using some of their own whiskey, distilled onsite using the Beam brothers’ recipes. The Beams use an original family recipe to craft their Yellowstone Bourbon, and they even used some of their great-grandfather’s original yeast from 1885 to make their mash. The brothers pride themselves on honoring their family’s rich history in the whiskey-making business. The Yellowstone 2017 Limited Edition would have made their great-grandfather very proud.
Yellowstone 2017 Limited Edition Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: The smell is surprisingly smooth, but not-so-surprisingly rich. Saccharine smells of toffee, toasted marshmallow, coffee, oak, hazelnut and cherry are all present.
Palate: Sweet tastes of caramel, vanilla, and light flavors of oak are prominent in the beginning. Those flavors fade, and darker notes of coffee, butterscotch and charred oak make up the finish, which is short and sweet. There’s a touch a spiciness that sits on the palate for a minute, accompanied a by light, sweet earthy-ness.
Finish: The rich dark fruits and leather drop off pretty quickly leaving a finish consisting of mostly spice, oak and a hint of caramel. And sadly there was no back of the throat surge/burn.
Distillery Information
The distillery was truly a family affair. They decided Lebanon would be the perfect location because it’s just a stone’s throw away from the now-long-gone distilleries of the family’s past. And, local grain and limestone water, both so essential for the unique and personal recipes, is readily available.
