The original family recipe was resurrected in 2010
Named after the Yellowstone National Park, award-winning Yellowstone Select Bourbon is a small batch of four and seven-year aged straight Kentucky bourbon whiskey made with locally grown white corn, rye, malt and limestone water.
First produced by Master Distiller, Steve Beam’s ancestors in 1872, Yellowstone was Kentucky’s biggest selling bourbon in the 1960s. The original family recipe was resurrected in 2010 by Steve Beam and his brother Paul Beam with the first barrel filled in 2015.
So, what did I think? Here are my tasting notes …

 A great Bourbon with a little bit of everything! |
|
Nose: Gorgeous, sweet, stewed fruits with toffee. Then a real blast of tropical fruitiness shows itself plus a little chocolate. Palate: Lovely sweetness and satisfying mouthfeel. Superb tropical fruits with mango coming out on top! Finish: Prominent orange with some chocolate and coffee. Warming, spicy and slightly medicinal with a dry tannin finish. Interestingly, adding some water adds some Ginger flavours … Overall: A great Bourbon with a little bit of everything. Fruity, sweet and with a powerful spice and dry finish! |
