Yellowstone (whiskey)
Yellowstone (whiskey) is a brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. It is named after the Yellowstone National Park, one of the most famous national parks in the United States. The brand has a long history, dating back to the late 19th century, and has changed hands several times over the years.
History[edit | edit source]
The Yellowstone brand was established in 1872 by the Taylor and Williams distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. The brand was named in honor of the newly established Yellowstone National Park, which had been designated as a national park earlier that same year.
In 1910, the brand was acquired by Glenmore Distilleries, a company based in Owensboro, Kentucky. Glenmore continued to produce Yellowstone whiskey until the company was bought out by Guinness in 1991.
In 1993, the brand was sold to David Sherman Corporation, which later changed its name to Luxco. Luxco moved production of Yellowstone whiskey to its distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky.
In 2015, Luxco announced a partnership with the Limestone Branch Distillery to bring production of Yellowstone whiskey back to its original home in Louisville. The first batch of Yellowstone whiskey produced at Limestone Branch was released in 2016.
Production[edit | edit source]
Yellowstone whiskey is a Kentucky straight bourbon, which means it is made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn and aged in new, charred oak barrels for at least two years. The whiskey is also distilled to no more than 160 proof and entered into the barrel for aging at no more than 125 proof.
Yellowstone whiskey is known for its rich, smooth flavor, which features notes of caramel, oak, and spice. The whiskey is typically bottled at 93 proof.
Varieties[edit | edit source]
There are several varieties of Yellowstone whiskey, including Yellowstone Select, Yellowstone Limited Edition, and Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Each variety has its own unique flavor profile and aging process.
