It is best known for its Yellowstone Bourbon that was first produced in 1872 in honor of the beauty of the Yellowstone National Park. The Limestone Branch distillery was founded by the Beam brothers Steve and Paul whom are now the seventh-generation distillers of their family. The flagship Yellowstone bourbon however was first produced by J.D. Dant, D.H. Taylor and J.T. Williams in the 1800s. The distillery is named after the high content of limestone found in the local sources of water and therefor grain grown in the area. The Yellowstone bourbon is a blend of 75 percent corn, 13 percent rye and 12 percent malted barley, bottled as both a Select at 93 degrees proof and the Limited Edition at 101 degrees proof. A portion of the proceeds from the Yellowstone bourbon is donated to the National Parks Conservation Association. Included in the Limestone Distllery portfolio of brands is the Bowling & Burch gin, which is infused with 19 different botanicals, some of which are grown on the property.
