One of the brand’s prized bourbons, Yellowstone Family Recipe, was recreated by Stephen Beam after he unearthed an old notebook containing the recipe that belonged to his grandfather. Crafted from this recipe and paired with the original yeast cloned from a jug belonging to his great-grandfather, Minor Case Beam, Yellowstone Family Recipe is a testament to Beam’s whiskey-making heritage.
