The legacy American whiskey brand blends a historic design with a contemporary expression
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Yellowstone Bourbon announced the release of Yellowstone Recollection Bourbon, inspired by the brand’s historic back bar decanters seen across saloons and restaurants in the late 1800s. Originally introduced as a Limestone Branch Distillery exclusive, Yellowstone Recollection Bourbon is now available more broadly for the first time, bringing a piece of Yellowstone’s rich heritage to bourbon fans across the country.
Non-chill filtered and bottled at 110 proof, Yellowstone Recollection Bourbon is crafted by seventh-generation Master Distiller Stephen Beam and aged eight years to deliver a bold yet balanced liquid. Drawing from the brand’s earliest visual identity, the bourbon is presented in an ornate decanter that pays homage to Yellowstone’s once hand-painted bottles. Featuring the iconic Yellowstone Lower Falls and classic embossing, the design reflects the brand’s roots as the “Greatest American Whiskey” named for the national park, while celebrating the dedication to craftsmanship that has sustained the distillery for centuries.
“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,” said Stephen Beam, Master Distiller at Limestone Branch Distillery. “Our bottles have always drawn inspiration from the spirit and natural beauty of Yellowstone National Park, and when you hold this bottle, I hope it captures the sense of history, craftsmanship, and awe that makes both the park and this bourbon so special.”
Yellowstone Recollection Bourbon opens with classic Kentucky bourbon notes of vanilla crème brûlée and dark cherry on the nose, followed by flavors of caramel, butterscotch, and hints of charred oak on the palate. The finish brings grain and mocha notes alongside Yellowstone’s distinctive cherry character and warm spice, including sweet cinnamon candy.
Yellowstone Recollection Bourbon will be available at select retailers nationwide starting this month at a suggested retail price of $69.99 for a 700ml bottle.
