The Kentucky based Limestone Branch Distillery, has announced the launch of the first expression from its new Special Finishes Collection.
Yellowstone Toasted (50% ABV) is a 4 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, which has been produced using the brand’s traditional bourbon mash bill. The whiskey has been stave finished, using a combination of high toast, American oak double-toast, vanilla, rick house and spice rack staves.

Yellowstone Toasted, is said to deliver notes of toasted caramel, vanilla and autumn spices on the nose. Followed by notes of walnut, toffee, black tea, white pepper, cocoa, tobacco and oak on the palate.
Commenting on the launch, Stephen Beam, Limestone Branch Distillery Master Distiller, said: The Yellowstone Special Finishes Collection is a great way to honour more than 150 years of bourbon heritage while still keeping things fresh and exciting. I began experimenting with toasted barrels in 2016, 2017, and 2018 with Yellowstone Limited Edition releases and again more recently with distillery-exclusive Yellowstone Toasted Single Barrel. My experience helped in crafting what stave flavours to use and at what percentage to get the right flavour profile for Yellowstone Toasted. I can’t wait for consumers to try this latest full-time member of the Yellowstone Bourbon family.”
Yellowstone Toasted, will be available later this month from specialist retailers across the US, for a RRP of $49.99.
