Yellowstone Toasted Barrel Bourbon

bottle:
750ml

The most exclusive Yellowstone release to date, with only 30 barrels ever produced. The barrels used to finish this bourbon have a unique history, they were the same barrels used for the Yellowstone Limited Edition releases from 2016 to 2018. In 2016, the barrels were toasted; in 2017, those same barrels were charred to level 1; and in 2018, they were charred to level 3. After being emptied in 2018, Steve Beam refilled them with 4-year-old Yellowstone Bourbon and let them rest for six more years, resulting in a beautifully finished 10-year-old finished bourbon unlike any other.

Tasting Notes: Butterscotch, dark chocolate, baked spice, honey

Do I have to pay for the bottles included in membership?

No, members don’t have to pay for the bottles included in the membership. As a member of The Branch, members will receive exclusive and unique bottles each quarter as part of their membership benefits—these are covered by their annual membership dues. Additionally, as a member, they will be among the first to know about special bottle releases before they are announced to the general public. While these special releases are available for purchase, member’s early access ensures they have the first opportunity to secure them.

How long will my bottle be held if I don’t pick it up?

There is a 90-day window to pick up your bottle in person.

‍

For members in states where shipping is allowed, we’ll send a reminder before that window closes. If the bottle remains unclaimed, your subscription will be automatically updated to include the shipping option, and your card on file will be charged accordingly.

‍

If you live in a no-shipping state, we reserve the right to cancel your membership and issue a prorated refund if the bottles have not been claimed after 90 days.

Are all states eligible for bottle shipping?

Due to varying state laws, members residing in South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, or Utah, are required to pick up their bottles in person. Members in all other U.S. states may contact concierge to have their bottles shipped for an additional fee after enrolling. Shipping cost is $199 annually ($49 per quarter). This fee covers the higher cost of freight for alcohol, packaging, insurance, signature delivery cost, state & local taxes, and handling fees throughout the year.

‍

If you live in a no-shipping state and are required to pick up your bottles in-person, they will be held at the distillery for 90 days from the date of your pickup notification. After 90 days, if the bottles have not been claimed, we reserve the right to cancel your membership and issue a prorated refund.

Can I change my membership?

Membership changes

You can change your membership from Individual to Family, and vice versa, based upon availability. Please just email our concierge team: concierge@thebranch.vip

‍

Membership cancellations

Membership can be canceled at any time, no questions asked. Members on the annual payment plan will receive a prorated refund for the remaining period of their subscription. For members on the quarterly payment plan, membership remains active until the end of the quarter and will not be charged for following quarters.

‍

Membership transfers

Memberships cannot be transferred to anyone else.

Can my plus one purchase a bottle?

Depending on availability, members’ plus ones will be able to purchase an additional bottle at each member event. These must be purchased on-site and cannot be shipped.

generations has to offer.
