Two Ages. One Vision. The Beam Family's Most Deliberate Bourbon.
Yellowstone Select is what happens when two of Kentucky's most experienced bourbon minds, Paul and Steve Beam of Limestone Branch Distillery, decide to build something worth remembering. Rather than settling for a single age statement, they married two high-rye Kentucky straight bourbons, one aged four years and one aged seven, to create a bourbon with the brightness of youth and the depth of patience in the same glass. The result is exactly what they set out to make: a well-rounded bourbon with spicy rye character up front, rounding out into caramel and finishing with a rich brown sugar warmth that is unmistakably Kentucky.
The Beam family name carries more weight in bourbon than almost any other in American whiskey history, and Yellowstone Select is a worthy addition to that legacy. This is not a mass-market blend. It is a hand-selected, thoughtfully crafted expression from a distillery that treats every barrel as a decision, not a commodity. Pour it neat, give it a minute, and pay attention. It rewards the effort.
🥃 Tasting Notes
- Nose: Rye toast, cinnamon spice, warm caramel, and a hint of dried cherry that draws you in before the first sip
- Palate: Rich and layered. Caramel, melted butter, leathered cherries, and a bold rye spice that builds steadily across the palate
- Finish: Slightly tangy and long. Burnt brown sugar, cloves, toasted oak, and a lingering warmth that fades slowly and satisfyingly
🍸 How to Enjoy
- Neat, always first: Pour 2 oz into a Glencairn or rocks glass and let it breathe for two minutes. The marriage of the two ages opens up beautifully as it warms to room temperature.
- Yellowstone Old Fashioned: 2 oz Yellowstone Select, one sugar cube, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, orange peel. Stir over a large ice cube. The rye spice and brown sugar finish make this one of the best Old Fashioneds you can build at this price point.
- On a single large ice cube: The slight chill slows the melt and lets the caramel and cherry notes come forward as the bourbon opens up over 15 to 20 minutes.
- Gift it: Yellowstone Select is one of the most impressive bourbon gifts in this price range. Hand-picked by the Beam family, aged in two stages, and presented in a bottle that looks as good as it tastes. Perfect for bourbon enthusiasts, Kentucky whiskey fans, and anyone who appreciates craft over convenience.
📖 The Story Behind the Bottle
The Yellowstone name has been part of Kentucky bourbon history since 1872, making it one of the oldest bourbon brands in America. When Paul and Steve Beam relaunched it through Limestone Branch Distillery, they brought with them a family legacy that stretches back to 1795 and seven generations of whiskey-making. The Beam family tree is the backbone of Kentucky bourbon, and Limestone Branch is where that tradition continues in its most personal form.
The Select expression was designed to showcase what the Beams do best: blending. By marrying a four-year and a seven-year high-rye bourbon, they created a profile that neither age could achieve alone. The younger whiskey brings vibrancy and spice. The older whiskey brings depth, caramel, and the kind of complexity that only time in oak can produce. Together, they make something greater than the sum of their parts, which is exactly what great blending is supposed to do.
