Hope its ok to link this. https://thewhiskeywash.com/whiskey-styles/bourbon/yellowstone-2017-limited-bourbon-mixes-whiskey/ This is what stood out to me: "each bottle signed by Steve Beam and nestled in commemorative tubes. Approximately 7,000-8,000 bottles of this bourbon are being produced this fall." The poor guy has to sign 7-8,000 labels? Hello carpal-tunnel! Anyway, it's nice that they have their own bourbon ready to go, but why blend it away? Seems like a better idea would be to bottle it for sale at the distillery if it's ready to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdband Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I have the 2016 YS LE. Finished in toasted wine barrels - it had a strong oak flavor profile throughout the finish, when I sampled it. The Whiskey Wash review summed it up nicely, if you like a floral and fruit flavor profiles such as Four Roses, you won't like it. If you prefer a stronger oak profile akin to a Maker's 46 (with seared French Oak staves), this will be up your alley. I liked it enough to pick up a bottle for $99.99. I won't say it is on my radar as a must have fall limited release, but it isn't worse than some other limited releases for the price - ala Woodford's MCs.

I believe the plan was to do 7 of these LEs until their own bourbon comes of age. Then should not have to source at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how much stock they have of that 4 year old, it's a pretty small distillery. This strategy seems to be a new trend though (Whistlepig Farmstock) and I would rather see distilleries go the Willett route BIB or CS with their own distilled spirits.
