Yellowstone Limited Edition 101 Bourbon

Product Description

Yellowstone Limited Edition: A New Chapter Every Year

Yellowstone traces back to 1872, and today Limestone Branch Distillery, run by Master Distiller Steve Beam, carries that legacy forward with an annual Limited Edition release that's become one of the most anticipated events in the Yellowstone lineup. Each year brings a genuinely new expression: a carefully selected blend of bourbons of varying ages, finished in a different cask type entirely, from Cognac and Brandy casks to Hungarian Tokaji wine barrels and beyond. As Beam himself has said of the series, "finished bourbons have become sought after by fans who want to push the flavor profile," and Limited Edition is where that experimentation plays out most directly.

Bottled at 101 proof, Limited Edition strikes a bolder note than Yellowstone's standard-proof releases while still delivering the smooth, approachable "Mellow Mash" character the brand has built its reputation on since 1872. Because the specific age blend and cask finish genuinely change from year to year, no two releases in the series taste quite alike, making each vintage a real snapshot of that year's specific blending decisions rather than a fixed, repeatable recipe. Recent editions have marked real milestones too, including a 2025 release celebrating a full decade of the Limited Edition series with a 10-year-aged straight bourbon blend combining barrels from both Kentucky and Indiana distilleries for the first time.

Released in genuinely limited quantities each year, Yellowstone Limited Edition 101 has earned a devoted following among collectors who track each new release, making it a strong pick for bourbon drinkers who want to explore a different side of Yellowstone's range annually.

Tasting Notes

Because Yellowstone Limited Edition uses a different age blend and cask finish each year, exact tasting notes vary release to release. Recent editions have shown notes ranging from honey, caramel, and dark cherry to vanilla, toasted oak, leather, and citrus, generally finishing warm and spice-driven. Check this listing's specific vintage for the current release's detailed tasting profile.

Food Pairings

Yellowstone Limited Edition's rich, oak-and-spice-driven character pairs well with hearty, savory fare. Try it alongside smoked brisket, aged cheddar, or a charcuterie board with dried fruit and toasted nuts.

Serving Suggestions

Yellowstone Limited Edition is best enjoyed neat or with a single ice cube to fully appreciate its cask-finished complexity. It also holds up well in a classic Old Fashioned or Manhattan for those who prefer to mix.
