The aging process in new charred oak barrels adds layers of vanilla, caramel, and oak flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As it sits in the barrel, the whiskey expands and soaks into the wood staves. This happens repeatedly, imparting the different natural flavors and making bourbon the complex spirit it is known to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For most bourbon, this first barrel is where the complexity ends. However, if a master distiller wants to add even more complexity and other flavors, they can put that bourbon into another barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is called finishing or double finishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finishing is a technique used to enhance and refine the flavor of bourbon by transferring it into different barrels for additional aging after the primary aging process. The barrels used for finishing often previously held other spirits or wines, which can significantly alter the bourbon's flavor profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bourbon's primary aging process must occur in new, charred oak barrels (it\u2019s the law). However, once this initial aging is complete, the bourbon can be transferred to barrels that previously housed sherry, port, rum, or even wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This practice is not just about adding new flavors; it\u2019s about creating a balance and adding nuance. The choice of barrel and the duration of the finishing process are critical factors that can dramatically change the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The barrels used in the finishing process come in various forms, each contributing unique characteristics to the bourbon. The choice of barrel can reflect the distiller's creativity and intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sherry casks are among the most popular types used for finishing bourbon. These casks add rich, fruity, and nutty flavors, often giving the bourbon a slightly sweeter and more complex profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finishing bourbon in oak barrels infuses the spirit with additional layers of flavor, such as hints of vanilla, caramel, and spice, as the wood imparts its unique characteristics. This aging process also enhances the bourbon's complexity and smoothness, making it richer and more nuanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone Bourbon Special Finishes Collection Toasted<\/a> uses toasted oak staves in its process. On the palate, this adds walnut, toffee, black tea, and white pepper to the profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rum barrels can impart tropical fruit notes, spice, and a hint of sweetness, making the bourbon more approachable and adding a unique twist to its flavor profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone Bourbon Special Finishes Collection Rum Cask<\/a> provides notes of toasted marshmallow, creme br\u00fbl\u00e9e, toffee, and toasted oak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finishing bourbon in cognac barrels provides the spirit with a rich and complex flavor profile. The process infuses the bourbon with notes of dried fruit, spice, and a subtle sweetness from the cognac, enhancing its depth and adding a luxurious, velvety finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finishing bourbon in brandy barrels adds a distinctive and nuanced flavor to the spirit. The process introduces hints of caramel, dried fruit, and a delicate sweetness from the brandy, enriching the bourbon's complexity. This method results in a smooth and well-rounded finish, appealing to those who appreciate a harmonious blend of flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wine barrels, particularly those that held red wine, can add tannins, fruitiness, and a touch of acidity. These barrels are less common but offer a distinctive character to the finished bourbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Port casks contribute deep, dark fruit flavors and a silky texture. They can enhance the richness of the bourbon, adding layers of complexity that appeal to seasoned connoisseurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There really is no limit on the types of barrels distillers can use to introduce new flavor notes into their spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finishing can profoundly impact the flavor, aroma, and complexity of bourbon. Each type of barrel brings its own set of characteristics, transforming the spirit in subtle or sometimes dramatic ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The additional aging in different barrels infuses the bourbon with new flavors. For example, when finished in a sherry cask, it might take on notes of dried fruit and nuts, while one finished in a rum barrel might exhibit hints of molasses and tropical fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The aroma (or nose) of the bourbon also evolves during the finishing process. The secondary barrels can introduce complex scents like dark chocolate, spice, and berries, enhancing the overall olfactory experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Complexity is perhaps the most significant benefit of finishing. The layers of flavors and aromas resulting from the finishing process create a more intricate and rewarding tasting experience. Each sip reveals new dimensions, making the bourbon more enjoyable to savor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And, over time, this complexity changes as the bourbon \u201copens up\u201d or oxygen is introduced to the bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning to appreciate and identify the finishing in bourbons can enhance your tasting experience. It can also help you find more finished bourbons to enjoy whether you drink it neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some tips to help you get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many distilleries mention the type of finishing on the label. Look for terms like \"sherry cask finish\" or \"port cask finish\" to get an idea of what to expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Savor the bourbon slowly. Pay attention to the initial flavors, the mid-palate complexity, and the finish. Notice any new or unusual notes that might indicate the influence of the finishing barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try tasting a finished bourbon alongside a standard expression from the same distillery. For instance, you might try a Yellowstone Select Bourbon<\/a> before trying the Yellowstone Toasted Bourbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recognizing the similarities and differences will help you build your palate and refine your bourbon senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The world of bourbon finishing is continually evolving, with new trends and techniques emerging. Here\u2019s a look at what the future might hold:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Distilleries are exploring innovative barrels, such as those that held exotic spirits or wines. These experiments push the boundaries of traditional bourbon flavors and create unique expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sustainability is becoming a significant focus. Many distilleries are sourcing barrels from eco-friendly cooperages and using sustainable practices in their production processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Limited edition finished bourbons are gaining popularity. These exclusive releases often feature unique barrel combinations and are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone Limited Edition<\/a> is our annual release. Each year, we take multiple bourbons and double-finish them in a unique cask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2023, the release featured a delicately balanced blend of 7-year, 13-year, and 16-year-old bourbons, finished in Tokaji casks. Tokaji is a traditional sweet wine from Northern Hungary and is made exclusively from white wine grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finishing in these casks created a final product that featured dry spice followed by caramel, dark cherry, citrus, and white pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2024 Yellowstone Limited Edition Bourbon blends 7-year-old and 17-year-old bourbons, each aged in Cognac and Brandy casks.

It\u2019s a day when we get to look back at the history of America\u2019s \u201cnative\u201d spirit and take a moment to really appreciate what\u2019s in our glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, we discuss the origin of the day while providing a bit of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey history. We\u2019ll also provide you with a few of our favorite old-fashioned cocktail recipes so that you can enjoy the day in the best way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bourbon\u2019s origins trace back to the westward migration of settlers from the original colonies during the 18th and 19th centuries. These settlers included Scots-Irish descendants, whose ancestors had invented Scotch and Irish whiskies, as well as English, Welsh, German, and French settlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From there, multiple whiskey families emerged to shape the entire history of whiskey and bourbon. Two of those families that have direct ties to Limestone Branch Distillery are the Beams and the Dants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stephen Beam opened Limestone Branch Distillery in 2011 with the goal of crafting the finest spirits in small batches. He is a seventh-generation distiller with a history of distilling on both sides of his family\u2014Beam (on his father\u2019s side) and Dant (on his mother\u2019s side).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jacob Beam, Stephen\u2019s great-great-uncle, was a farmer who sold his first barrels of corn whiskey, called Old Jake Beam around 1795.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seven generations later, that tradition continues with Limestone Branch Distillery and Yellowstone Bourbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n National Bourbon Day is a great way to honor that tradition. Every year it\u2019s celebrated on June 14th, which is said to be the anniversary of the day bourbon was first distilled in 1789.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Much like drinking your bourbon and whiskey, you can do it however you want. For us, we like to gather with friends and family, maybe walk around Limestone Branch Distillery, remember those who came before us, and, of course, have a wonderful drink in hand while we do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The exact origins of the Old Fashioned are debated, but the prevailing story is that this iconic drink began being served in the early 1800s. Its name emerged in the mid-1800s as a reaction to the increasingly complex cocktails of the time, which included ingredients like Chartreuse, Absinthe, and Curacao. Traditionalists began asking for a cocktail made in the old-fashioned style\u2014simple and straightforward with just spirit, sugar, water, and bitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prohibition brought significant changes to the cocktail scene, particularly with the quality of available spirits, which were often harsh due to illegal production methods. To mask these rough edges, bartenders started adding fruit to the Old Fashioned. In the Midwest, muddled orange and cherry became common additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After Prohibition ended, the quality of spirits improved, allowing the Old Fashioned to return to its roots of showcasing good quality Bourbon or Rye. Interestingly, whiskey was not always the default spirit for an Old Fashioned. When first referenced in the early 1800s, the Old Fashioned was not tied to a specific spirit but was a style of cocktail where the base spirit could be whiskey, gin, or even mezcal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many became familiar with the old-fashioned thanks to it being the drink of choice of Don Draper in the popular series, Mad Men<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many bartenders now view the Old Fashioned as a basic formula that can be adapted to create endless variations. This adaptability is part of what makes it an enduring favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone Bourbon, distinguished by its rich palate and Kentucky heritage, is the ideal foundation for crafting the perfect Old Fashioned. Here\u2019s how to bring this beloved classic to life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to try something different, mix up one of the following instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a twist of autumn warmth to your glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Repeat the steps of the classic Old Fashioned, substituting sugar with maple syrup and adding smoke to your glass for extra complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Infuse your drink with the zest of citrus and spice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow the original procedure, introducing the soaked sugar cube and Angostura orange bitters for a spicy, citrusy undertone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Celebrating National Bourbon Day with Yellowstone Bourbon invites you into a world of tradition enriched with modern twists. Whether you lean towards the classic Old Fashioned or venture into newer variations, each sip is a toast to the enduring legacy of bourbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find Yellowstone Bourbon near you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if you really want to spend the day in the best way possible, join us at Limestone Branch Distillery<\/a> to learn more about America\u2019s favorite spirit.<\/p>\n","post_title":"How to Make the Best Old Fashioneds to Celebrate National Bourbon Day","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"how-to-make-the-best-old-fashioneds-to-celebrate-national-bourbon-day","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-08-05 20:59:58","post_modified_gmt":"2024-08-05 20:59:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/yellowstonebourbon.com\/?p=545","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw","ancestors":[],"page_template":"","post_category":[4,9],"tags_input":[],"cc_categories":[{"term_id":4,"name":"Lifestyle","slug":"lifestyle","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":4,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":5,"filter":"raw","object_id":545},{"term_id":9,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":9,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw","object_id":545}],"cc_tags":[],"thumbnail":" $40,000 donation by Yellowstone Bourbon will support Trans Canada Trail mission of building, maintaining and stewarding the vast urban and rural trail system in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n April 22, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 Today, the Yellowstone Bourbon family of brands announces a major new partnership with Trans Canada Trail, as part of its ongoing commitment to connecting people with parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYellowstone Bourbon has a long history of environmental protection and conservation with its 150-year-old ties to Yellowstone National Park, and we\u2019re proud to make the same commitment on a national scale in Canada with our partners at Trans Canada Trail,\u201d Yellowstone Bourbon Brand Manager Kelly Panzitta said, \u201cTogether, we want to connect people with parks and nature across Canada and inspire them to enjoy the vast trail system by doing the activities they love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of the partnership, Yellowstone Bourbon is making a $40,000CAD contribution to Trans Canada Trail to support its mission to build, maintain and steward the vast urban and rural trail system, which spans more than 28,000 kilometers across land and water \u2013 the longest recreational trail in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"We\u2019re thankful for the support of Yellowstone Bourbon and this new partnership,\u201d TCT said, \u201cOur mission has always prioritized conservation and protection of Canada\u2019s trail system and Yellowstone\u2019s commitments in Canada and the United States exemplify its own mission to support environmental initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Yellowstone Bourbon partnership with the Trans Canada Trail compliments the brand\u2019s 150-year-old roots in Yellowstone National Park after which it was named, its ongoing commitment to protection and conservation of the outdoors, and its partnership with the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re proud of the heritage we share with America\u2019s first national park and are excited to put our values of preserving parks in action with Canadians across the country,\u201d says Panzitta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 2018, Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, of Limestone Branch Distillery in Lebanon, Kentucky, has donated nearly $750,000USD to NPCA to protect and preserve National Parks in The United States.

LOUIS (March XX, 2024) \u2013 As it continues to meet demand for innovative expressions of bourbon, Kentucky-based Limestone Branch Distillery has announced the second release in its Yellowstone Special Finishes Collection: Yellowstone Rum Cask Finish. This is the latest inspiration from Limestone Branch Distillery Master Distiller Stephen Beam, and it is set to hit retail shelves in March. Aged four years and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), Yellowstone Rum Cask Finish will be available nationwide at a suggested retail price of $49.99 per 750-ml bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new release starts with Yellowstone\u2019s traditional bourbon mash bill and then is aged for nine weeks in casks that previously held rum distilled using molasses from sugarcane grown in the rich, fertile soils and tropical Caribbean climate of Cuba. The resulting bourbon features a flavorful blend of spice and tropical sweetness; a medium body with notes of toasted marshmallow, cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e and toffee toasted oak; and the finish is highlighted by tobacco, clove, cocoa seasoned oak and honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRum has the sweetest notes of all the casks we\u2019ve used for secondary finishing, and it was an ideal choice for the next adventure in our Special Finishes Collection,\u201d said Beam. \u201cRum is an exceptional compliment to bourbon, and they come together to create subtle notes of sweetness and brown sugar, which are soaked up and stored within the staves and perfectly complement the vanilla, caramel and rye flavors of Yellowstone. Our four-year bourbon is a classic Kentucky bourbon and makes for a fantastic base. This allows me to go in many directions with the finishes while remaining true to or original profile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The packaging for Yellowstone Special Finishes Collection features the brand\u2019s iconic bottle and Roosevelt Arch artwork, as well as a more prominent version of the Yellowstone brand name and a Special Finishes Collection call-out. The bottle\u2019s blue top-wrap helps to differentiate Yellowstone Rum Cask Finish from other Yellowstone variants. The Special Finishes Collection launched in October of 2023 with the release of Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Toasted Staves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About Limestone Branch Distillery<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stephen Beam opened Limestone Branch Distillery in 2011, with the goal of crafting the finest spirits in small batches.

Because of this, many innovations and spins have been put on this beloved spirit. The rise of the American single malt is one of the most exciting developments in recent years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This article explains American single malt whiskey, how it's distilled, and what differentiates it from the more well-known whiskeys like bourbon, rye, and Scotch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n American single malt whiskey is made from 100% malted barley and distilled in pot stills. The barley is usually locally sourced, and the whiskey is aged in oak barrels for at least two years. Like Scotch, American single malt whiskey is non-blended, meaning that it is made only from a single distillery's output. However, unlike Scotch, there are currently no formal regulations around the production of American single malt whiskey, meaning that distilleries have a great deal of leeway in making and marketing their product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the key differences between American single malt whiskey and other types of whiskey is its flavor profile. Due in part to the use of pot stills in the distillation process, American single malt whiskey often features sweet, nutty, toasty, biscuit, bread, and toffee-like notes. It has a distinctive taste thanks to processed cereal grains that are used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Though they share some characteristics, American single malt whiskey is different from single malt Scotch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike Bourbon, which must be made with a minimum of 51% corn, American Single Malt Whiskey is made entirely from malted barley. The malted barley is mashed with hot water, releasing the sugars that will help with fermentation. The liquid produced is called \"wort\" and is then fermented with yeast, which converts the sugars into alcohol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The resulting liquid, or \"wash,\" is then distilled in copper pot stills. The filtered liquid is then aged in oak barrels, giving it a unique flavor. The aging process is what really sets American Single Malt Whiskey apart from other Whiskeys. The Whiskey is usually aged for at least three years, with some distilleries aging it up to 10 years. This results in a smoother and more complex flavor profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Compared to bourbon, American Single Malt Whiskey tends to be less sweet and more aromatic. Its flavor profile varies by brand, but it typically has hints of vanilla, fruit, and sometimes even chocolate. Its finish tends to be smoother than Bourbon, with a more prolonged, complex aftertaste. Think orchard fruits, honey, and a gentle smokiness more like a cozy campfire than a roaring bonfire like higher-proof whiskeys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone American Single Malt<\/a> blends tradition with innovation. It tells a story of meticulous aging and a commitment to quality. An exploration in taste, it offers layers of caramel, oak, and a hint of fruitiness, balanced with just the right touch of smoke. It's an American original paying homage to the single malt heritage while carving out its identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone American Single Malt has won multiple awards, including two golds at the 2023 Sip Awards and the 2023 Bartender Spirits Competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Find Yellowstone American Single Malt near you.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n American single malt whiskey is a unique and delicious spirit gaining popularity in the United States. Its rich, complex flavor and artisanal production process make it an exciting addition to the world of premium spirits. Yellowstone offers an authentic and refreshing experience, whether you're a seasoned whiskey enthusiast or are being introduced to the world of single malts for the first time. <\/p>\n","post_title":"What is American Single Malt Whiskey?\u00a0","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"what-is-american-single-malt-whiskey","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-15 22:25:08","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-15 22:25:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/yellowstonebourbon.com\/?p=471","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw","ancestors":[],"page_template":"","post_category":[5],"tags_input":[],"cc_categories":[{"term_id":5,"name":"News","slug":"news","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":5,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":12,"filter":"raw","object_id":471}],"cc_tags":[],"thumbnail":" You likely already have a few favorite whiskey-based holiday cocktails. Bourbon is an excellent addition to eggnog or mulled cider. And you can\u2019t have a hot toddy without whiskey. However, as you begin planning your holiday party menus, cocktail in hand, consider splashing a little whiskey into your favorite Yuletide recipes, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some of our favorite holiday food recipes to make with bourbon whiskey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n A Spirited Appetizer to Get the Party Started<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Call them what you want, \u201cnippy franks\u201d or \u201clil\u2019 smokies,\u201d these bite-sized sausages are always a hit appetizer at parties and gatherings. Next time you make up a batch, try kicking them up a notch with this recipe: <\/p>\n\n\n\n INGREDIENTS <\/p>\n\n\n\n DIRECTIONS <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cook your cocktail franks according to the package\u2019s directions. Whisk together the remaining ingredients and simmer until the brown sugar dissolves. Then, combine and serve. Maybe make a double batch\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n A Holiday-Worthy Ham<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bourbon goes perfectly with the smokiness of ham. Add in some orange and brown sugar, and you\u2019ve got yourself a flavor explosion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n INGREDIENTS <\/p>\n\n\n\n Combine the ingredients and glaze your ham during the cooking process, applying a coat every 15 minutes or so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not Your Average Canned Cranberries<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a little bored of your average canned cranberries, upgrade this classic holiday side with a bit of booze. Making cranberry sauce from scratch is easy and requires cooking fresh cranberries with sugar and water until thickening. For the best cranberry sauce you\u2019ve ever had, switch out the water for Yellowstone Bourbon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n INGREDIENTS <\/p>\n\n\n\n DIRECTIONS <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the stovetop, dissolve the sugar in your liquid ingredients at medium heat and then add the cranberries. Cook until the cranberries begin to break down, then lower the heat and cook until thickened. Remove the cranberry sauce from the heat; it will thicken further as it cools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A Classic Southern Dessert (Whiskey Required!)<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Channel that Kentucky bourbon spirit when you make a classic Southern dessert staple you\u2019ll find at any holiday party in the Bluegrass State: pecan pie<\/em>. Adding a shot of bourbon to pecan pie makes for more decadent, complex flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n INGREDIENTS <\/p>\n\n\n\n DIRECTIONS <\/p>\n\n\n\n Spread the pecans over the bottom of your pie crust. Mix all other ingredients and pour over the pecans, then bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the edges of the pie turn golden brown. Let the pie cool until it sets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stock Your Bar Cart (and Your Kitchen!) Before the Holidays Hit<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you plan on adding bourbon to your favorite holiday recipes or you simply want to enjoy some classic Thanksgiving and Christmas cocktails, be sure you\u2019re stocked with your favorite whiskeys before the holiday rush begins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Find Yellowstone Bourbon and other Limestone Branch Distillery spirits at a store near you<\/a>. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Bourbon Whiskey Holiday Food Recipes\u00a0","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"bourbon-whiskey-holiday-food-recipes","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-30 18:40:02","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-30 18:40:02","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/yellowstonebourbon.com\/?p=457","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw","ancestors":[],"page_template":"","post_category":[9],"tags_input":[],"cc_categories":[{"term_id":9,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":9,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw","object_id":457}],"cc_tags":[],"thumbnail":" ST.

Aged four years and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), Yellowstone Toasted will be available nationwide at a suggested retail price of $49.99 per 750-ml bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone Toasted starts with the brand\u2019s traditional bourbon mash bill, which is then stave finished. Beam, a seventh-generation master distiller, hand-selected a combination of five different staves \u2013 high toast, American oak double-toast, vanilla, rick house and spice rack \u2013 to get the desired flavor profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The resulting bourbon features a nose of toasted caramel and vanilla with hints of fall spices and cinnamon; a medium body with notes of walnut, toffee, black tea and white pepper; and a crisp finish highlighted by cocoa, tobacco and oak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Yellowstone Special Finishes Collection is a great way to honor more than 150 years of bourbon heritage while still keeping things fresh and exciting,\u201d said Beam. \u201cI began experimenting with toasted barrels in 2016, 2017, and 2018 with Yellowstone Limited Edition releases and again more recently with distillery-exclusive Yellowstone Toasted Single Barrel. My experience helped in crafting what stave flavors to use and at what percentage to get the right flavor profile for Yellowstone Toasted.

The new ads, which began airing Oct. 1, follow the theme: \u201cAlways keep the park within reach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSince its inception in 1872, Yellowstone Bourbon has shared a connection with America\u2019s first national park, and we\u2019ve sought to highlight that through our brand story,\u201d said Yellowstone Bourbon Brand Manager Kelly Panzitta. \u201cAs we look to the future of the Yellowstone brand, our focus is on leveraging the bond between our bourbon and the park it was named after.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone Bourbon tapped St. Louis-based Rodgers Townsend to create the new spots. The agency most recently worked with the brand to create the \u201cYellowstone \u2013 For All\u201d campaign, of which the current advertising theme is an extension. The new ads illustrate by choosing Yellowstone \u2013 at the bar or at home \u2013 the spirit of the park is never more than a pour away. The series of new ads was designed to appeal to the brand\u2019s loyal customers, as well as to attract its emerging female audience and younger consumers 21 and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The brand team called on media buying agency Ansira to help Yellowstone Bourbon reach a broader audience for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024. Among the changes, Yellowstone has finalized an ad buy with CBS Sports to appear during NFL broadcasts this fall for the first time ever across several platforms. The spot began airing on Oct. 1 on digital, streaming and linear TV.

April 24, 2023 \u2013 Today, in recognition of their commitment to national park protection, National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA)<\/a> has named Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey<\/a> the recipient of its third annual National Park Defender award<\/a>. This award, given out each April during National Park Week, recognizes and honors a partner who shows exceptional dedication to national park protection through authentic, impactful partnership with NPCA and educates their customers about the importance of taking action to protect parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Partnered since 2018, Yellowstone Bourbon has donated nearly $500,000 to NPCA to preserve national parks and inspire the next generation of park advocates; and in 2023, they became NPCA\u2019s largest annual corporate partner.*<\/a> The brand\u2019s connection to national parks stretches back over 150 years \u2013 in 1872, Yellowstone Bourbon was first crafted in the same year Yellowstone National Park was designated America\u2019s first national park. Today, Yellowstone Bourbon continues to commemorate this heritage through their passionate commitment to the protection of public lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYellowstone Bourbon has a shared history with our country\u2019s national parks dating back to 1872, when our family named the bourbon after the very first national park,\u201d said Limestone Branch Distillery Master Distiller and Founder Stephen Beam. \u201cI am proud of our continued partnership with the National Parks Conservation Association and its ongoing efforts to keep our parks wild and wonderful. We are doing our part to help educate consumers about the importance of conservation and keeping our parks protected, preserved and accessible for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone Bourbon has partnered with NPCA on numerous campaigns to educate and inspire customers to take action on behalf of parks, in addition to their efforts to directly support public lands in immediate need. In 2022, Yellowstone Bourbon responded within days of floods that devastated Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding area resulting in nearly $100,000 raised for the Southwest Montana Relief Fund and the Red Lodge Area Community Foundation in conjunction with a fundraising event hosted by NPCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This week, Yellowstone Bourbon released a special edition NPCA collector\u2019s label<\/a> on bottles of Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection law. The bourbon was specifically created to honor the park\u2019s beautiful landscapes, vast wilderness, and the pioneering spirit of those who first explored its interior. We like to think those hardy individuals would have loved sitting back with a glass of Yellowstone Select Bourbon while spinning yarns about their escapades across the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, now, Yellowstone National Park is a little more visitor-friendly than it was back in the 1870s \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t mean that a glass of Yellowstone Select Bourbon won\u2019t still pair perfectly with a visit to the park (though be sure to do so safely; save that cocktail for when you\u2019re back at the lodge or ranch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re heading to Yellowstone National Park this summer, here\u2019s what you need to know and how to experience the rugged, historical aspects of this great spot on the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See the Top Sights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s no secret that Yellowstone can get crowded, and it\u2019s no wonder why. If you\u2019ve never visited Yellowstone National Park before, you\u2019ll want to see the same sights that draw in millions of tourists annually. The top spots within the park include Old Faithful, the Grand Prismatic Spring, and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. All these will deliver breathtaking views you won\u2019t find anywhere else in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These spots are great, and you should 100% check them out. However, everyone knows about these, and you can find information about them just about anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, let\u2019s discuss some other places worth exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Lesser-Known Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To get in some quieter views, visit some of the less-crowded spots in the park if you\u2019ve got the time. With 2 million acres, the park does have them, despite what you might think when you first visit Old Faithful. You may have to strap on your hiking boots and channel your inner sense of adventure to reach them, but the effort will be well worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try a hike out to Shoshone Geyser Basin. Or, go wildlife watching in the remote Lamar Valley, sometimes called the Serengeti of North America; keep your eyes peeled for bison, elk, bear, wolves, and other animals that call the park home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you pack your swimsuit? Then take a dip in Boiling River, one of the few places where you can legally swim in the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a Professional Park Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The official nonprofit partner of Yellowstone National Park, Yellowstone Forever<\/a>, offers a range of programming to experience the park beyond what you can plan on your own. The organization\u2019s private tours cover everything you need \u2014 delicious breakfast and lunch in the field, transportation services, equipment like high-powered scopes and binoculars, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your private tour is planned around what you want to experience most during your visit, whether that be wildlife watching and photography, backcountry hiking, or any other adventure the park offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay Longer or Come Back Soon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t just stop by the park for a single day and then go on your way. Spending a night (or a few!) in the park will allow you to enjoy the park\u2019s attractions more leisurely. You can\u2019t beat a stay at the Old Faithful Inn<\/a>, built in the early 1900s and one of the largest log structures in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can\u2019t stay, come back and explore more of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can\u2019t Get Away?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are still ways for you to support our national park system from afar \u2014 like when you add the Yellowstone family of spirits<\/a> to your bar cart. Yellowstone Bourbon is a proud supporter of and one of the largest annual corporate donors to the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), which independently works to strengthen and protect our park systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year alone, we\u2019ve donated $250,000 to the NPCA to aid in the organization\u2019s tireless work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re actively planning your exploratory excursion to Yellowstone National Park this season or have added it to your travel bucket list, when you sip a glass of Yellowstone Select Bourbon, it\u2019s almost as good as being there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find Yellowstone Bourbon near you<\/a>, or visit Limestone Branch Distillery for a tour<\/a>!<\/p>\n","post_title":"Visiting Yellowstone National Park During the Summer?

over a century of tradition, craft, and heritage distilled into a single glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a tribute to the spirit of exploration and wonder. Today, that legacy continues under the
guidance of Stephen Beam at Limestone Branch Distillery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. It All Starts with the Grain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
whiskey its distinct flavor profile. For Yellowstone, the mash bill consists of 75% open-pollinated
white heirloom corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley. This combination is what helps give
Yellowstone its smooth yet slightly spicy character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of spice<\/a> and barley contributes to the overall body and depth. This recipe traces its roots back to
notes from Stephen Beam\u2019s grandfather, ensuring that each bottle of Yellowstone Bourbon is
connected to the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Cooking the Mash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
about precision. Yellowstone Bourbon\u2019s mash is cooked using an old-fashioned, three-stage
open cook. The first stage involves boiling the corn at temperatures above 200 degrees to break
down its starches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
then lowered again for the final addition of malted barley. Many large distilleries cook all their
grains together in one step, but Yellowstone\u2019s careful three-stage process allows each grain to
release its distinct flavors, resulting in a more nuanced whiskey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. A Family Yeast Strain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
strain used for Yellowstone Bourbon is an extraordinary part of the process. It\u2019s not just any yeast\u2014a strain used by Stephen and Paul Beam\u2019s great-grandfather, reclaimed from a yeast
jug on display at the Oscar Getz Whiskey Museum in Bardstown, Kentucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sugars into alcohol. The fermentation process lasts around 72 hours, creating what is known as
distillers beer\u2014a liquid with 8% to 10% alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n4. The First Distillation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u201cstripping run.\u201d In this first distillation, the beer is transformed into what\u2019s known as low wine\u2014an
alcohol-rich liquid containing around 25% to 30% alcohol by volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n5. The Final Distillation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
alembic still. This process, called \"making the cuts,\" involves boiling off various volatile
compounds in stages: the foreshot, the head, the tails, and finally, the heart. The heart of the
distillate is the purest and most flavorful part, and it\u2019s what will ultimately be aged to become
Yellowstone Bourbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n6. Into the Barrels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
each batch of whiskey is placed into new, charred oak barrels. In these barrels, the whiskey
begins its slow transformation, soaking up rich caramel and vanilla notes from the wood over
time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
down to its purest essence. While aging, the whiskey interacts with the charred wood,
deepening in complexity and color. The result is a smooth, balanced bourbon that captures the
rugged beauty and spirit of its namesake, Yellowstone National Park.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nA Tradition of Craftsmanship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
of the most iconic names in bourbon history, and this rich heritage informs every bottle of
Yellowstone Bourbon<\/a>. Whether it\u2019s the carefully curated mash bill or the use of family yeast, the
process behind Yellowstone is steeped in tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
innovation. Revived in 2015 with Yellowstone Select<\/a>, the bourbon has found new life at
Limestone Branch Distillery, where it continues to earn accolades for its craft, quality, and story.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Magic Behind the Bottle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
precise cooking of the grains to the magic of fermentation and distillation, every step is carefully
managed to create a bourbon that stands out in taste and character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
offers tours<\/a>. Visitors can witness firsthand the intricate process behind each bottle, from 200-
year-old artifacts to a taste of the award-winning portfolio. It\u2019s an experience as rich and storied
