Their flagship bourbon, Yellowstone, is a blend of sourced whiskies, but Yellowstone 2016 Limited Edition marks Limestone Branch’s first release using some of their own whiskey, distilled onsite using the Beam brothers’ recipes. The Beams use an original family recipe to craft their Yellowstone Bourbon, and they even used some of their great-grandfather’s original yeast from 1885 to make their mash. The brothers pride themselves on honoring their family’s rich history in the whiskey-making business. The Yellowstone 2016 Limited Edition would have made their great-grandfather very proud.

Distillery Information
The distillery was truly a family affair. They decided Lebanon would be the perfect location because it’s just a stone’s throw away from the now-long-gone distilleries of the family’s past. And, local grain and limestone water, both so essential for the unique and personal recipes, is readily available.
