Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon (2024) review

Tasting Notes

About:

A blend of 7-year and 17-year-aged bourbons finished in French brandy and cognac casks. It is bottled at 50.5% ABV and priced at $99.99.
Appearance:
A warm orange-amber hue is in the glass, showcasing moderate legs and thick viscosity.
Nose:
Bananas and cherries tease on the nose here, playing in harmony alongside some vibrant vanilla and a helping of oak. One also finds bubble gum, bread pudding, and a dash of molasses.
Palate:
This opens with a nice pop of vanilla and cherries, carrying a nice smack of oak along with it. Further palate exploration brings forth some berry considerations alongside a nice helping of creme brulee, brown sugar, bread pudding, and gingerbread.
Finish:
The finish here is popping with brown sugar and berries, fading out in a moderate amount of time.
Comments:
Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon (2024) plays well to its strengths, particularly the double cask finishing. You can appreciate the nuances of flavor moment by moment in what feels like a well-thought-out expression—nicely done.
