Yellowstone Bourbon Revives Its Heritage with Recollection Bourbon

Yellowstone Bourbon is proud to announce the launch of its newest offering, Yellowstone Recollection Bourbon, a premium whisky that pays tribute to the brand's historical roots. This innovative bourbon draws inspiration from the back bar decanters that adorned saloons and restaurants in the late 1800s, symbolizing an era of remarkable craftsmanship and iconic design. Previously available exclusively at the Limestone Branch Distillery, the Recollection Bourbon is now set to charm bourbon enthusiasts nationwide, making its debut in select retailers this month.

Crafted by seventh-generation Master Distiller Stephen Beam, Yellowstone Recollection Bourbon is a testament to the tradition of fine distilling. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 110 proof, it has been aged for eight years, yielding a bold and balanced flavor profile. The spirit is encased in an ornate decanter that reflects the brand's esteemed heritage, featuring the iconic Yellowstone Lower Falls and classic embossing that echoes its hand-painted bottles of the past. Beam shared his passion behind this release, stating, “When I brought Yellowstone to Limestone Branch in 2015, it wasn’t just about reviving a name, it was about honoring the people who gave this bourbon its meaning.” He hopes that each bottle captures the essence of history and craftsmanship significantly tied to Yellowstone National Park, whose beauty inspires both the distillery and its products.

In terms of taste, Yellowstone Recollection Bourbon opens with a nose offering classic Kentucky bourbon notes of vanilla crème brûlée and dark cherry. On the palate, it reveals flavors of caramel and butterscotch, complemented by hints of charred oak—a flavorful combination that resonates with bourbon lovers. The finish uniquely blends grain and mocha notes, highlighted by Yellowstone's signature cherry character and a warm spice like sweet cinnamon candy.

This exquisite bourbon will be available for a suggested retail price of $69.99 for a 700ml bottle. For bourbon aficionados looking to explore its rich flavor, you can find it in select retailers across the country.

Founded in 1872 by Joseph Bernard Dant, Yellowstone Bourbon has its name tied to the United States' first national park. The brand was revitalized by Stephen Beam in 2011 when he established the Limestone Branch Distillery in Lebanon, Kentucky. The Yellowstone Bourbon family has received numerous accolades, including recognition in Whisky Advocate's Top 20 Whiskies of the Year for 2025. The distillery also values its role in environmental stewardship; since 2018, it has partnered with the National Parks Conservation Association, contributing over $1 million for park preservation. In 2026, Yellowstone Bourbon will also support the Vital Ground Foundation in efforts to protect the habitat of threatened grizzly bears.

As time goes on, Yellowstone Bourbon continues to honor its legacy whilst embracing innovative expressions. The Recollection Bourbon is not only a delightful spirit to enjoy but also a piece of history for enthusiasts to celebrate and cherish. When you raise a glass of Yellowstone Recollection Bourbon, you are not just indulging in a fine whiskey; you are experiencing a vibrant story intertwined with nature, craftsmanship, and commitment to preserving the essence of the American heartland.
