Ninth annual release is extra aged and marks
the distiller's first-ever Limited Edition double finished in
brandy and cognac casks
ST.
LOUIS, July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Limestone
Branch Distillery announces the annual release of Yellowstone
Bourbon Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Created
by Limestone Branch Distillery Master Distiller Stephen Beam, the
2024 expression is extra aged, featuring 7-year and 17-year aged
bourbons and Beam's first double finish in French brandy and cognac
casks. Bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV), an allocation of
10,000 cases (3-in) of Yellowstone Limited Edition will arrive on
shelf in September at a minimum suggested price of $99.99 per 750mL bottle.
Limestone Branch Distillery has released its annual Yellowstone
Limited Edition since 2015. In the 2024 release, Beam sought out
spirits to complement the natural flavors in the extra-aged
bourbon. Finishing the blended bourbon in brandy and cognac casks
from France introduces nuances
from different spectrums of distilled grapes within the same style
of spirit. The result is a soft and approachable bourbon, perfect
for Yellowstone Bourbon loyalists.
The 2024 Yellowstone Limited Edition is a rich amber color and
features the bright aroma of pear, panela sugar, ripe apple and
leather. With a thick, soft texture, the body includes flavors of
American basswood honey, ripe stone fruits and citrus with
traditional notes of caramel and vanilla. The bourbon's warm and
inviting finish delivers honey, Bosc pear, butterscotch and
leather.
"The 2024 expression of Yellowstone Limited Edition represents
my natural progression of experimenting with special finishes over
the years," said Beam. "Now, finished bourbons have become sought
after by fans who want to push the flavor profile. I love
experimenting and exploring new opportunities, and using a double
finish with brandy and cognac casks created a more complex and
nuanced bourbon, opening a whole new experience for consumers to
enjoy."
The 2024 Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Whiskey is presented in custom-designed bottles featuring
embossing, a label with the 2024 Yellowstone Limited Edition emblem
and a high-end natural cork.
