Limestone Branch Distillery Launches Yellowstone Family Recipe
Limestone Branch Distillery has announced the launch of Yellowstone Family Recipe, a limited edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey honoring 150 years of Beam and Dant family distilling traditions.
Inspired by a recipe found in notes from Beam’s grandfather, Guy Beam, and containing cloned yeast using DNA from a yeast jug belonging to Beam’s great-grandfather, Minor Case Beam, Yellowstone Family Recipe reflects the original Yellowstone Bourbon mash bill and carries its original namesake’s six-year age statement.
Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), Yellowstone Family Recipe is described as having aromas of “toasted caramel, candied nuts, tobacco and oak,” with notes of “citrus, toasted oak, and hints of marzipan and spice” on the palate, concluding with “a medium, nutty finish.”
Limestone Branch Distillery plans to release Yellowstone Family Recipe annually. The 2022 release is limited to 6,000 cases and will be available beginning in April at retail locations in Montana and Wyoming – with availability at Lebanon, Kentucky’s Limestone Branch Distillery and retail locations in the state of Kentucky following shortly thereafter. A limited allocation of Yellowstone Family Recipe will be available across the US in August, with the remaining allocation rolling out in the fourth quarter of 2022. Yellowstone Family Recipe has a suggested retail price of $69.99.
