2022 Edition of Yellowstone’s Elusive Limited Edition Bourbon Announced

The 2022 edition of Yellowstone Bourbon has been announced.

Limestone Branch Distillery on Monday announced the release of 2022 Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The expression is aged in Marsala Superior casks and is a blend of 7-year, 15-year and 16-year bourbons selected by master distiller Stephen Beam. This latest Yellowstone Limited Edition whiskey will release in September at a suggested retail price of $99.99 per 750-milliliter bottle.

“I’ve been experimenting with different finishes for the Yellowstone Limited Edition bourbons, and I really fell in love with the impact the Marsala Superiore cask finish has on the overall taste profile of the bourbon,” Beam in a news release. “Consumers can expect an aroma of dried apricots and honey with hints of tobacco; a body that contains dark-brown sugar notes, mixed with dried fruit, walnut and dates, with a hint of vanilla; followed by a lingering finish with hints of palm sugar and tamarind. It’s certain to become a new fan favorite.”

The 2022 Yellowstone Limited Edition is bottled at 101 proof. Beginning in September, the 30,000-bottle run will be available at retail locations nationwide.

Yellowstone Bourbon was founded in 1872, the same year Yellowstone National Park was founded. It has been produced by Limestone Branch Distillery since 2015. Yellowstone bourbons are typically extremely tough for consumers to get their hands on, and this one is sure to be the same.

“We’ve had a lot to celebrate in 2022, including the launch of Yellowstone Family Recipe and the 150th anniversary of the Yellowstone brand,” said Caitlin Palmieri Jackson, brand manager for Limestone Branch Distillery. “Our 2022 Yellowstone Limited Edition expression is the latest achievement to celebrate this year as the brand family continues to grow, both in terms of overall popularity and varietals offered.”

In March, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Yellowstone National Park, Limestone Branch Distillery announced a new bourbon, Yellowstone Family Recipe.
