Step back in time to the golden age of American whiskey with the Yellowstone Recollection Series Bourbon Limited Edition. Inspired by the breathtaking beauty of America's first national park established in 1872, the historic Yellowstone brand boasts a rich legacy that survived Prohibition and ultimately became Kentucky's largest brand in the 1960s. Today, Master Distiller Stephen Beam—a seventh-generation distiller descending from both the legendary Beam and Dant families—has masterfully revived that heritage at the Limestone Branch Distillery.
The Recollection Series is a stunning tribute to the late 1800s. In those days, bartenders poured Yellowstone from eye-catching, embossed glass decanters featuring a painting of the Yellowstone Lower Falls. Modeled directly after an original back-bar bottle discovered by Stephen Beam, this heavily embossed replica bottle perfectly captures the pioneering spirit of 1872. Inside rests an exceptional 8-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Bottled at a robust 110 proof (55% ABV), it is crafted using the historic Beam family mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley, and fermented with the original yeast strain from Minor Case Beam's dona jug. The result is a masterpiece fit for any top-tier collection, bridging 150 years of distilling mastery.
