Key Specifications:
Product: Yellowstone Single Barrel Hand-Selected Bourbon
Distillery: Sourced Bourbon, Bottled by Limestone Branch Distillery, Lebanon, KY
Brand History: A Legacy of Parks and Pioneers
The Yellowstone brand was founded in 1872 by J.B. Dant, who named it in honor of America's very first National Park, which was established that same year. For decades, it was one of Kentucky's most beloved bourbons. After changing hands several times, the brand was revived to its former glory by Stephen Beam of Limestone Branch Distillery. Stephen, a descendant of both the Beam and Dant distilling dynasties, carries on a profound family legacy. The single barrel program represents the pinnacle of the modern Yellowstone brand, offering hand-selected, high-proof expressions that honor its rich history.
Tasting Notes: A Classic Profile, Amplified
While every single barrel is unique, a 7-year-old, 119-proof Yellowstone bourbon typically delivers a rich and classic tasting experience:
Nose: A powerful and inviting bouquet of rich caramel, vanilla bean, and toasted marshmallow, with underlying notes of dark cherry, leather, and seasoned oak.
Palate: A full-bodied and creamy mouthfeel bursting with flavor. A wave of sweet butterscotch and vanilla is expertly balanced by a pleasant rye spice, with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of black pepper.
Finish: The finish is exceptionally long, warm, and satisfying. The classic Kentucky "hug" lingers with evolving notes of sweet oak, baking spice, and a final, delightful touch of dark fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: What is a "Single Barrel Private Select"?
A: This means that a specific retailer or group (in this case, Nestor Liquor) has sampled various barrels from the distillery and chosen one particular barrel—'Old Faithful'—for its unique and desirable characteristics. This barrel is then bottled exclusively for them.
Q: How is this different from the standard Yellowstone Select Bourbon?
A: The standard Yellowstone Select is a blend of 4- and 7-year-old bourbons bottled at 93 proof. This is a single barrel of bourbon aged over 7 years and bottled at a much higher 119 proof, making it a more mature, robust, and unique expression.
Q: Who is Stephen Beam?
A: Stephen Beam is the founder and Master Distiller of Limestone Branch Distillery. He is a direct descendant of both the legendary Beam and Dant distilling families, giving him a unique connection to Kentucky's bourbon history.
Q: Where is this bourbon distilled?
A: For their single barrel program, Yellowstone sources bourbon from their partners at Lux Row Distillers in Bardstown, Kentucky, which is then bottled at Limestone Branch Distillery.
Q: How should I drink this high-proof bourbon?
A: Given its high proof and complex flavor, this bourbon is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aromas and slightly temper the alcohol. A single large ice cube also works well to slowly chill the spirit.
Q: Where can I purchase the Yellowstone 'Old Faithful' Single Barrel?
A: This is an exclusive private barrel selection available only through Nestor Liquor. Please check their inventory directly for availability.
