Yellowstone No.3 Char Wine Cask Finish Bourbon 2018 Edition 70cl

Yellowstone is a historic pre-prohibition bourbon brand, created by J.B. Dant at the Gesthemane distillery, although was associated more closely with Yellowstone distillery (producer of Ezra Brooks) and its owners, the Thompson family (of Glenmore distillery).

The distillery was shut down by its owners in 1985,and they sold it along with Medley distillery and its brands to United Distillers in 1991. Rather than revive the Yellowstone brand, they sold it on to Heaven Hill in 1993, who promptly sold it to the David Sherman Company in the same year.

David Sherman (now Luxco) had it distilled and bottled under contract at Heaven Hill until in 2015, Paul and Steve Beam, descendents of the Beam and Dant families reached an agreement with Luxco to begin producing the brand at their new Limestone Branch distillery. Luxco and its stake in Limestone branch were then taken over by MGP in 2021.

This 2018 limited edition bourbon has been finished in the same American oak wine casks as the 2016 and 2017 limited edition, this time re-charred to add a further complexity to the flavour.
